Aibek Dadebayev, Head of the Kazakh
President’s Executive Office, laid flowers at the monument to Bauyrzhan
Momyshuly, paying tribute not only to the great son of the Kazakh people but also
to all Kazakh soldiers who perished in the war. Momyshuly served within the
316th Rifle Division under the command of Major General Ivan Panfilov, later leading
his own regiment and division. He received numerous accolades and was
posthumously given the title of Hero of the Soviet Union in 1990.
