Culture is not only about books, music, and monuments. It is the memory of the past, the language that society speaks, and the energy from which the future is born. At Central Asia Capital, we believe that preserving heritage and supporting education is the foundation without which sustainable development is impossible. Therefore, our cultural projects are always about more than just events. They are about the connection between generations, about pride, and about the opportunities we create for the youth.
In the village of Panfilovskoye, a monument to war hero Ivan Vasilyevich Panfilov has been erected. For the residents, this is not just a monument, but living history
It was in the Kyrgyz SSR that Panfilov formed his division — in its ranks fought more than a thousand natives of Kyrgyzstan. It was here that the traditions of military honor were laid, which then manifested in the legendary Battle of Moscow, when the "Panfilov's men" stopped the German tanks
For Kyrgyzstan, Panfilov's name is a symbol of courage, brotherhood, and the common contribution of the peoples of Central Asia to the Great Victory. Streets, schools, and an entire village are named after him. Therefore, the restoration of the monument is not only work with stone and bronze. It is the restoration of memory, respect, and pride that connect generations
We are proud to have organized this initiative in cooperation with the Boris Yeltsin Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU) and the republican and municipal authorities
The Foundation invested in the project to ensure that the restoration of the monument is carried out with high quality and on time. After all, preserving heritage means protecting what makes us one people and passing this feeling of pride on to the next generations
In Kyrgyzstan, Victory Day has always been more than just a date on the calendar. It is a day when the country remembers its heroes and expresses gratitude to those who brought peace
In 2025, the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, a military parade was held on Ala-Too Square. High school and university students, diplomats and military personnel stood alongside veterans — entire generations united by a shared memory. The National Bank issued a commemorative silver coin so that everyone could hold a symbol of this date in their hands
A special event was the release of a limited edition of postage stamps "Kyrgyzstanis — Heroes of the Soviet Union," which the Central Asia Capital fund supported in partnership with Rossiyskaya Gazeta. For us, this is a way to remind about personal stories of courage and to preserve the names of Kyrgyzstanis who wrote themselves into the history of Victory
