Monument to Teachers of Russia and Kyrgyzstan to be Erected in Bishkek
Bishkek will soon be home to a monument dedicated to teachers of Russia and Kyrgyzstan. The Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU) hosted a presentation of the monument, with the installation set to be completed by the end of October, according to the university’s press service.
The sculptural composition, conceived by People’s Artist of the Kyrgyz Republic and Honorary Professor of KRSU, Viktor Shestopal, will be located in front of the main building of the university.
“The monument, according to its creators – sculptor V. Shestopal, architects R. Muksinov and M. Beishenbaev – symbolizes the historical memory of those who laid the foundations of education in Kyrgyzstan,” the statement from the university said.
The sketches for the monument were developed around ten years ago, and now the idea has finally come to life.
According to the description of the composition, the figures of Russian and Kyrgyz teachers will be cast in bronze, with the inscription “Dedicated to teachers” written in two languages on the pedestal.
