"Gagarin" appeared on one of the shops of Almaty

Earlier, during one of the work trips to inspect the pace of housing construction, the city akim, Bauyrzhan Baybek, noticed a similar installation in the courtyard of one of the new residential complexes and ordered to create a more detailed copy, installing it on Gagarin Avenue.

This art object is not just a point of attraction for selfies, but also a kind of tribute to the past, since it was from the territory of Kazakhstan that Yuri Gagarin was the first in the history of mankind to fly into outer space. The authors of the project are young students of the Kazakh Academy of Arts named after Zhurgenov Azamat Kabyl and Akylbek Shaken. The project was implemented with the support of the construction company "BI Group".

“In our opinion, the sculpture fits perfectly into the landscape of the city, enlivens this alley. I hope there will be more similar facilities in Almaty, because they give it their own zest. Moreover, this is an opportunity for self-realization for young artists, ”said Azamat Kabyl.

It should be mentioned that earlier on the street Tulebaeva also a monument was built for the soloist of the group "Kino" Viktor Tsoi .This destination has become a popular destination among both citizens and guests of Almaty.
