Overview
Learn and explore the main spots of the city which was developed during the Soviet union times and Russian empire.
We will walk through the main Avenues where you will able to see the unique architects of the buildings which were made during soviet times, how they made big squares in the city and statues of the Lenin , Karl Mark and Fedrick Eagle who were actually the main participants for creating communism in the world biggest parts. You will learn how they made different city residential buildings that are still working under Kyrgyz government.
Like many other great Soviet cities, Kyrgyzstan’s capital was renamed under communism. The Bishkek-born Bolshevik hero Mikhail Frunze lent his name to the city for more than sixty years. During this time, a change in name wasn’t the only revamp Bishkek experienced. In true Soviet fashion, the city underwent a physical transformation. People’s art adorned the walls of apartment blocks, work buildings and public spaces. Imposing Socialist Modernism architecture dominated civic design. Parks and green spaces sprung up across the city. It’s a legacy that endures to this day.
