August 14, 2021 marked the 75-th anniversary of the birth of the famous Novosibirsk archaeologist Vladimir Dmitrievich Kubarev (1946–2011). Stone statues, mounds and rock images on Altai are clearly visible to almost everyone passing by them. So it was for interested persons in antiquity, so it continues in modern times. During the initial acquaintance, it was only necessary to carefully record their location, sketch, photograph and introduce into scientific circulation, which was repeatedly done by travelers, artists, ethnographers and archaeologists, starting from the XVIII–XIX centuries. However, different researchers have done this with varying degrees of care, so it is sometimes difficult to compare the same statues or petroglyphs with each other. It can be seen from the letter of V. D. Kubarev that only in 1977 he discovered about 20 new stone sculptures in Altai and excavated a number of objects of Scythian and ancient Turkic times.
