Victory Square, Bishkek, War memorial square in central Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

The large marble monument features three curved granite pillars representing traditional yurt struts, rising above an eternal flame in the center of the square.

The square was established in 1985 to commemorate the Soviet Union's victory in World War II, with a monument depicting a woman waiting for her husband's return.

The National Guard of Kyrgyzstan performs hourly guard changes at the eternal flame, maintaining a continuous tribute to fallen soldiers throughout the day.

The square serves as a central location for military parades and commemorative ceremonies, particularly during the annual Victory Day celebrations on May 9.

The monument incorporates a tynduk, a traditional Kyrgyz yurt crown, shaped as a funeral wreath and supported by three granite columns representing architectural heritage.
