Shoqan Walikhanov monument, Kokshetau, Bronze monument in Kokshetau, Kazakhstan.

The Shoqan Walikhanov monument in Kokshetau is a 4.6-metre bronze figure standing on a 4.6-metre concrete pedestal faced with black granite slabs. The figure is shown in motion, holding a scroll of manuscripts, and the pedestal's front bears the Kazakh inscription "Шоқан Шыңғысұлы Уәлиханов". The monument stands on a 5×5-metre base of polished granite, with flower beds around it.

Sculptor Tulegen Dosmagambetov first made two versions of Valikhanov, seated and standing, for an Almaty competition; both were judged too intimate and lost to Kh. Nauryzbaev's project. His model, approved by his teacher Mikhail Anikushin in Leningrad, was cast in bronze and erected in Kokchetav in 1971 with architect K. Abdaliev. It was moved from Sovetskaya and Kuibysheva streets to Shkolnaya Street and listed as a republican monument on 26 January 1982.

The statue depicts a figure in a thoughtful pose that reflects the work of someone dedicated to studying and recording local customs and traditions. Visitors can sense here how this person shaped the way people understand their own regional history.

The monument is located in central Kokshetau and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of the city. It remains accessible throughout the day and often serves as a gathering place for local events and educational programs.

The person honored by this monument was not only a researcher but also came from a family with historical prominence in the region. This dual status made them a bridge between different worlds and circles of knowledge during their lifetime.
