4774) Kazakhstan has issued a Commemorative 1000 Tenge Banknote dedicated to the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War: Date of Banknote issue: 09.05.2025:
The 80th Anniversary of the Great Victory:
The grand military parade took place on May 7 in Astana's Independence Square, featuring over 4,000 servicemen, more than 200 pieces of modern and historical military equipment, and 66 aircraft.
The event was attended by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who paid tribute to the country’s wartime heroes. The celebrations culminated with a fireworks display on May 9 at 10:00 p.m. in Astana, launched from two sites: the Botanical Garden and near the Atyrau Bridge
The Front of the 1000 Tenge Banknote depicts:
- The Glory Memorial located in the park named after 28 Panfilov Guardsmen – a tribute to the heroes who gave their lives for their homeland.
- Micro-optical security strip. When changing the viewing angle of the banknote a three-dimensional effect of depth, volume and radiance becomes visible on the strip, as well as the effect of the movement of the eternal flame and flying cranes. Silhouettes of the cranes personify goodness and hope, symbolise life.
The Glory Memorial:
In 1974, architects T.K. Basenov, R.A. Seydalin and V.N. Kim created a project for the memorial complex, which was supposed to be located in the park named after 28 Panfilov Guardsmen.
It was planned to build a triptych dedicated to the establishment of Soviet power in Kazakhstan and the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War, as well as a special pedestal for the eternal flame. On May 8, 1975 the memorial complex was solemnly opened.
The designers of the sculptures were V. V. Andryushchenko and A.E. Artimovich.
In 2012, the memorial and its main elements were restored for the first time in 30 years. At the same time, there were significant flaws in the reconstruction.
For example,
- the new slabs on the memorial do not correspond in colour and structure to those that were originally located there;
- the letters on the steles were fixed unevenly. Separately, public organizations note that the Semipalatinsk pines were cut down, and new ones were not planted instead, which violated the architectural and natural composition.
The memorial complex is a triptych:
The alto relievo "Oath" is an image of a young Red Army man leading the horses of his fallen comrades. It is located on the left side of the main axis of the memorial complex. In front of the high relief under the massive cubes of labradorite there are capsules with the earth of the cities-heroes.
Alto relievo "The Feat" depicts the images of heroes-panfilovs who defended Moscow. The bas-relief on the podium made by copper embossing technique recreates the representatives of the 15 Soviet republics in the outline of the map of the Soviet Union. The words of Panfilov's political commander were carved on the podium: "Russia is great and there is no retreat. Moscow is behind us!".
Alto relievo "Trumpeting Glory" represents images that embody the anthem of triumphant life. It is located on the right side of the main axis of the memorial complex. In front of the high relief under massive cubes of labradorite there are capsules with the earth of the cities-heroes.
- The Order of the Patriotic War as a symbol of courage, fortitude and bravery.
