Monument to Stalin, Soviet memorial in Old Ikan, Kazakhstan.
The granite monument represents Joseph Stalin with a stern expression, positioned prominently in the center of Old Ikan village.
The monument dates from the 1950s when Kazakhstan was part of the Soviet Union and remains one of the few Stalin memorials still standing.
The monument exemplifies the complex relationship between Kazakhstan's national identity and its Soviet past through architectural and symbolic elements.
The memorial site includes interpretive panels in Kazakh and Russian languages, with guided tours available through the local cultural office.
Unlike most Stalin monuments removed after de-Stalinization, this memorial survived due to its remote location and the local community's preservation efforts.
