      • Herzen described the oath in "My Past and Thoughts": "we swore, in sight of all Moscow, to sacrifice our lives".
      • The teenagers ran up to the site where Vitberg's cathedral was to be founded on Vorobyovy Hills.
      • The memorial is a granite obelisk surrounded by a wall with a scroll and portraits of Herzen and Ogarev.
      • Ogarev recalled that day in his poem "First Friendship".
