Մեծահոգի Մանասի հուշարձան, Bronze equestrian monument in Levoberezhny District, Moscow, Russia
The monument to Manas the Generous stands in Friendship Park in Moscow's Levoberezhny district. The 4.5-metre bronze composition, designed by a team led by Joomart Kadyraliev, shows Manas in eastern armour riding the magic horse Ak-Kula with one arm raised. The pedestal bears the inscription "Manas the Generous, hero of the Kyrgyz epic".
The monument was erected in 2012 and honors a central figure in Kyrgyz folklore. Its establishment marked recognition of this figure within the Russian capital.
The pedestal inscription reads "Manas the Generous, Hero of the Kyrgyz Epic" in Russian. At the 24 February 2012 opening, President Almazbek Atambayev called Manas an epic, a philosophy, a poetry, a history and an encyclopedia of the people's wisdom, and said the statue opened a new page in Kyrgyz-Russian cultural ties.
The sculpture is located at an easily accessible spot with several bus stops and a nearby metro station in northern Moscow. Visitors can view the sculpture at any time of day since it stands outdoors in a publicly accessible location.
