The Russia-Bashkir Monument of Friendship (Bashkir: Урыҫ һәм башҡорт халыҡтар Дуҫлығы Монументы (Uryss ha’m bashqort halyqtar Dusslyg’y Monumenty) ) is a monument in the city of Ufa, dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the accession of Bashkortostan in Russia.[1]

In 1957 it was celebrated the 400th anniversary of Bashkiria's voluntary entry into the Russian Empire. In the same year, June 14, the monument was laid on the site which was a marble slab with the inscription:

«There will be erected a monument in memory of the 400th anniversary of Bashkiria's voluntary accession to the Russian State»

However, even the design of the monument began only after 4 years, and its opening was only August 7, 1965.
