In Astana, the memory of Rakhymzhan Koshkarbayev was honored
during a flower-laying ceremony at the Halyk Kaharmany monument, commemorating
the 100th birth anniversary of the legendary soldier. In 1945, Koshkarbayev was
the first to raise the Victory flag over the Reichstag under heavy enemy fire.
His feat remains a lasting example of courage and heroism in the hearts of the
people. Throughout the year, over 40
events were held in the capital to mark Koshkarbayev’s centenary.
«Sports, social and political events were held, involving
all city residents, from schoolchildren to various public organizations, many
of which embraced the initiative. Today, we held a flower-laying ceremony at
the monument to Rakhymzhan Koshkarbayev. Next year, we will celebrate the 80th
anniversary of Victory (in World War II), and these events mark the beginning
of a significant celebration for all our people,» said Samat Kabdulin, chief specialist
of the Internal Policy Department at the Astana Mayor’s Office.
