The Monument to Vladimir the Great is considerably larger than the monuments to Patriarch Hermogenes and Alexander I, which are located nearby, in Alexandrovsky garden. But it is, for example, considerably inferior to the monument "In honour of the 300th anniversary of the Russian fleet", whose height is 98 metres.
During polemics, there were fears that its erection, along with other construction work in the protection zone of the Moscow Kremlin and on its territory, puts the Kremlin under danger of being removed from the UNESCO World Heritage List, but as the Minister of Culture later stated, the reports on the erection of the monument, sent to UNESCO, fully satisfied the organization.
