The monument to the national hero is currently undergoing reconstruction in a specialized workshop in the capital.
In Ufa, a projection of the Salavat Yulaev statue was projected onto the monument's site, Mayor Ratmir Mavliev announced.
"While the Salavat Yulaev monument is in the reliable hands of specialists, we decided that this place of power should not remain empty. A projection of the statue has been lit on the hillside. It is clearly visible from the embankment of the Belaya River," the mayor wrote on social media.
