Where where? In Karaganda!, Monument to a city expression in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.
The 3-meter-tall polymer monument features text commemorating the popular Soviet-era phrase 'Where where? In Karaganda!' in central Karaganda.
The monument was inaugurated on May 28, 2011, through collaboration between creators Bari Alibasov, Murat Mansurov, and Vikentiy Komkov.
This public installation represents a Soviet-era expression that transformed Karaganda from a distant mining city into a nationwide cultural reference point.
The monument serves as a central meeting point and photo location, situated near other attractions along Bukhar-Zhyrau Street in Karaganda.
The structure immortalizes a phrase that emerged during Soviet times when Karaganda became synonymous with remote locations in everyday conversations.
