The monument was erected in 1826 in the cemetery in Karlin, near Prague and not far from the hospital where Russian soldiers were treated after the battle at Kulm. The monument was made possible due to donations by the soldiers and officers of the Perm Guards Regiment.
In 1906 the monument was transferred to the Olsany cemetery.
