On January 17, 2026, the bust of St. Luke of the Crimea (Voino-Yasenetsky) was unveiled at the main building of Kemerovo State Medical University (KemSMU).
The monument was unveiled as part of the Alley of Russian Glory project in the year of the 65th anniversary of the blessed repose of the saint and the 30th anniversary of the discovery of his relics. Lawyer, statesman and public figure P.A. Astakhov, deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation P.M. Fedyaev took part in the implementation of the project in Kemerovo.
The Alley of Russian Glory was conceived with the aim of reviving the patriotic spirit of Russians. The list of sculptures created within the framework of the project is constantly expanding: more than four dozen monuments have been realized in different parts of the country.
Metropolitan Aristarchus of Kemerovo and Prokopiev performed the rite of consecration of the sculptural image and addressed the audience.
The bishop honored the initiators of the monument's installation and its creators with diocesan awards. 
P.A. Astakhov also addressed the participants of the ceremony. In memory of the event and on the occasion of Metropolitan Aristarchus's birthday and name day, P.A. Astakhov presented His Eminence with a copy of the bust installed near Kemerovo Medical University.
The participants of the ceremony expressed the hope that the sculpture installed at the university would help future doctors to remember the height of their service to the people and the Fatherland.
