However, recent studies have questioned the fact that the bell is made of plastic bronze bell could split during a fire and suggest that cracks have arisen because of the violations in technology (the cooling after casting the bell could be left on the rod and cracked-out for crimping), and the fire could be a convenient excuse.

This version says that in 1736 MOTORIN receives casting Tsar Bell just 1,000 rubles and rank tsehmeystera casting Affairs "for their efforts and for updates bell plant," suffered from a fire. And later for casting bells for the Novodevichy Convent and the Trinity-Sergius Lavra he asks 8000 rubles for the bell.

After 1737 there were several attempts to retrieve the bell from the pit, but they all ended in failure. Only in 1836 coped with this task of the architect Auguste Montferrand France. He drafted a lift and stone pedestal to install a bell on it. As a result of this work of art foundry sample taken out of the pit and set on an octagonal pedestal.
