It is with the purpose of educating, especially for today’s youth, that the Council of War Veterans, Armed Forces, Law Enforcement Agencies and National Front Workers of the City of Bishkek, with the support of the City Council, published a book containing unique information about all the monuments to the soldiers of the republic in the capital of Kyrgyzstan. “RG” could not ignore this news and, with the permission of the head of the council, retired colonel Melis Beisheev, publishes excerpts from an interesting book.

Many similar monuments in Bishkek are, as they say, on view. For example, a seven-meter-high Mikhail Vasilievich Frunze on a horse at the railway station or a black plaque on a pedestal dedicated to “the courage of the inhabitants of Leningrad and the Kyrgyz nobility” in the park of the South Gate of the capital of the Kyrgyz Republic. But there are also monuments about which little is known today. Some of them will be discussed.

factory warriors

Let’s start with the stele “Eternal memory to the Selmash soldiers who fell in the battles for their homeland.” The monument is located on the territory of the former Frunze agricultural engineering plant. This memorial appeared in 1990 thanks to the perseverance of the chairman of the company’s veterans council, Petr Grigoryevich Glukhoverov, and his colleagues. The names of 284 factory workers who went to war and never returned were immortalized on granite slabs.

“Letters from relatives of the dead were sent with a request to erect a monument at the entrance,” the book says. “The final decision was made in 1985 by the Council of Ministers of the Kyrgyz SSR. Selmash workers collected 28,000 rubles for the stele. The inauguration took place on May 8, 1990.

After the collapse of the USSR and the ruin of the plant, the monument began to collapse. It seemed that no one cared about him. But there are good people. The management of the International School of Medicine responded to a request for help from the municipal council of veterans. The stele was repaired, painted, fenced with metal bars, and flowers were planted. An abandoned monument came to life.”

The railwaymen are not forgotten

The obelisk dedicated to the memory of the railway soldiers who died during World War II is located in the square of the Pishpek station forecourt. The monument was erected in 1965 by workers of the N8 bridge construction detachment under the leadership of Pavel Vasilyevich Kravchenko.

On the front of the obelisk is the inscription “Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten.” On the back, the names of the railway soldiers called from the city of Frunze and who died at the front. Only 25 people.

“Every year, on the eve of Victory Day, a requiem rally is held here in honor of the feat of Soviet soldiers in the Great Patriotic War. Teachers and students of schools 43 and 44 take part in it. and high school 97”, said the authors highlight the editions.

fellow villagers

On May 7, 1995, in the village of Chon-Aryk on Victory Street, a monument to residents who died during the Great Patriotic War was unveiled.

“From the collective farm” Kyrgyzstan “, located not far from Frunze and uniting three villages: Chon-Aryk, Orto-Sai and Kyrgyzstan, 411 villagers left for the front, of whom 157 did not return … In the early 1990s, at the suggestion of the inhabitants of three villages in the village council decided to erect a monument in memory of compatriots who gave their lives for the peaceful future of the country on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War .The author of the composition was the artist and sculptor Ivan Ilyich Gilev.

During the construction of the monument, relatives of war veterans, businessmen and villagers helped financially. The author of the composition embodied the idea of ​​​​him through images of soldiers of different nationalities. The victory in the war was achieved because all the peoples of our great Homeland joined shoulder to shoulder to defend the country. In the bas-relief are the faces of mothers, wives and children who escorted the soldiers to the front and helped forge Victory in the rear. Immediately behind the monument there are open spaces, the air of which our compatriots did not have time to breathe,” the publication says.
