Formation and Development of the Movement of Workers and Rural Correspondents in Kyrgyzstan

The Etiquette of the Kyrgyz

In the last decade since the birth of an independent state, numerous problems that had been brewing for many decades have intensified. During the years of Soviet power, the Kyrgyz people lost much of the moral values that had been carefully passed down from generation to generation over the preceding centuries. The leveling of national distinctiveness and the orientation towards the values of the Soviet totalitarian regime led to the perception of domestic culture as second-rate. Sovereignty

Monumental and Monumental-Decorative Art

Monumental forms of art in Kyrgyzstan during the 1960s to 1980s emerged at the forefront of artistic life and actively participated in the formation of a harmonious personality of the era of developed socialism, addressing the pressing issue of environmental aestheticization. With the increasing pace of scientific and technological progress during this period, all types of ideological and educational work among the masses were mobilized, and a significant place was allocated to monumental

The Medallic Art of A. Solovyev

A. Solovyev works exclusively in medals, having grown over a decade into an experienced medal artist with serious thematic interests and an individual plastic language. From his early works of a narrative, sometimes illustrative nature, and from experiments with form influenced by modern, often contradictory searches in the field of small plastic forms, he has arrived at a strict style. His more recent medals, which are typically traditionally rounded and small in size, are substantive,

Vyacheslav Viktorovich Kopotev - Medal Artist

The small form of the medal today, alongside psychological depth and strictness of form, is also characterized by features of monumentalism, poster-like sharpness of thought, and bright decorativeness. All these tendencies, with their positive and negative aspects, are to some extent inherent in the developing medal art of Kyrgyzstan. Going beyond the realm of commemorative and anniversary medals, Kyrgyz medal artists widely explore a variety of themes, employing modern techniques, plastic

Medal Art. In the 1970s, medal art began to develop in Kyrgyzstan.

The growing interest in medal art began in foreign and Soviet art as early as the 1960s, and in the 1970s and 1980s, this traditional branch of chamber sculpture, having received

Ethnic Composition of the Kyrgyz
Ethnography

Ethnic Composition of the Kyrgyz

One of the most important features of the ethnic composition of the Kyrgyz is its complexity, diversity, and mixture. This cannot be seen as anything other than the result of relatively recent ethnic processes. This complexity of the ethnic composition led prominent researchers such as V. V. Radlov and N. A. Aristov to erroneous conclusions about the existence of a special link in the clan-tribal structure of the Kyrgyz, analogous to the Altai "sёёk," understood as a blood-related
