Abylai Khan, Bronze equestrian monument in Zhetisu district, Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The Abylai Khan monument is a bronze equestrian statue mounted on an octagonal granite base with four supporting columns at its corners. The figure sits tall on horseback, dominating the public square where it stands.

Abylai Khan ruled in the 18th century and played a key role in uniting territories and maintaining balance between neighboring powers. The monument was installed in 2000 to honor his legacy.

The names of those who made the monument are listed on a granite plaque at its base: team head S. K. Baimagambetov, sculptor K. K. Satybaldin, architects T. E. Eraliev, Z. S. Baimagambetov and V. I. Sidorov, designer M. E. Erkinov and foundry specialist A. V. Volkov. The khan holds a rod in his right hand as the symbol of his power.

This statue stands in front of the Almaty-2 train station and serves as a main gathering point for locals and visitors. The location is easy to reach on foot and well connected to the surrounding area.

Sculptor Nurlan Dalbay publicly dismissed the monument, saying it "doesn't even smell of sculpture" and that its makers produced "plasticine little people" who ignore anatomy and composition. The names of the design team, headed by S. K. Baimagambetov, are listed on a granite plaque at the base.
