Abstract: We study solutions of the KdV equation governed by a stationary equation for symmetries from the non-commutative subalgebra, namely, for a linear combination of the master-symmetry and the scaling symmetry. The constraint under study is equivalent to a sixth order nonautonomous ODE possessing two first integrals. Its generic solutions have a singularity on the line $t=0$. The regularity condition selects a 3-parameter family of solutions which describe oscillations near $u=1$ and satisfy, for $t=0$, an equation equivalent to degenerate $P_5$ equation. Numerical experiments show that in this family one can distinguish a two-parameter subfamily of separatrix step-like solutions with power-law approach to different constants for $xopminfty$. This gives an example of exact solution for the Gurevich--Pitaevskii problem on decay of the initial discontinuity.
