Of course, the story about masterpieces in miniature would be incomplete if we did not mention the money featuring unique animals that inhabit Kyrgyzstan, with the famous snow leopard being the first among them. These beautiful animals are mainly hunted by experienced trappers from zoos, who catch them alive and send them to zoos both nearby and far abroad. However, hunting the snow leopard is fraught with enormous difficulties and surprises because it is very elusive, cautious, and lives high
Banknotes of states are true masterpieces of visual art. What do they depict? Typically, banknotes feature a coat of arms, a portrait of the head of state or a famous compatriot, a monument of antiquity, or a landscape characteristic of the country. Soviet money usually depicted the portrait of Lenin, a worker, and a peasant. On English banknotes, we see Saint George striking a dragon with a spear, and a lion holding a key with a chain. On Greek money, there are portraits of great

The Emergence of Money. Since ancient times, people have provided for their basic needs by exchanging products and items with one another. For example, one tribe lived in an area with salt deposits, while another engaged in agriculture and grew wheat. They exchanged these products. Archaeologists have established that such mutual exchange among people existed tens of thousands of years ago. Over time, the value of certain items increased significantly, and they began to serve as a sort of
State Symbols. Every state has its own state symbols — coat of arms, flag, anthem. The history of their emergence also dates back to ancient times. The study of the history of coats of arms and their features is a specialized science called heraldry. The first coats of arms can be considered various images and emblems on seals, coins, and medals. Over time, each ruler, city, and state wanted to have their own distinctive signs. Thus, coats of arms emerged. In Western Europe, coats of arms
The insufficiency of military means to ensure external security is something Kyrgyzstan tries to compensate for by developing partnership relations, military and military-technical cooperation, and participation in collective security systems.

The invasion of illegal armed formations of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan into the southern part of the country in 1999 and 2000 served as a catalyst for the intensification of military construction. In order to improve the military organization of the state in threatened areas, border units were created and deployed. Rapid response units were formed within the Southern grouping of troops. However, analysts noted that the units and formations were poorly trained for combat operations in
The invasion of illegal armed formations of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan into the southern part of the country in 1999, despite warnings from local authorities, came as a surprise not only to the political leadership of the country but also to the military. The armed forces were unprepared to combat illegal armed groups. One of the pieces of evidence for this assertion was the capture of several high-ranking representatives of the law enforcement agencies by militants. The main reasons
On May 29, 1992, by decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, the units and parts of the Armed Forces of the USSR stationed on the territory of the republic were placed under the jurisdiction of Kyrgyzstan, and the creation of national armed forces was announced. The impetus for the establishment of its own armed forces was not the prospects of negative developments in the military-political situation and the possibility of threats to the military security of Kyrgyzstan, but the
Not considering any state or coalition of states as its adversary, and opposing the use of military force to achieve political and economic goals, Kyrgyzstan has nevertheless recognized the necessity of preparing the country to defend against possible armed attacks. Thus, the state has committed itself to maintaining and developing its own armed forces (AF).

The Institute of the Presidency in the Kyrgyz Republic Since 1991, the institute of the presidency has gained significant authority in the Kyrgyz Republic. In modern Kyrgyzstan, it is one of the key components in the system of state power. Its rational structure and functioning are important conditions for ensuring constitutionalism in the state. In the early years of independence, a presidential-parliamentary governance system emerged based on the Constitution of the KR of 1993. It gradually
Kyrgyzstan transformed from a part of a federal state (the USSR) into a sovereign, unitary, democratic republic. There was an evolutionary shift from Soviet totalitarian statehood towards democracy with a presidential form of governance. The political leadership of the country proclaimed the establishment of a secular rule-of-law state as a direction for development, enshrined in the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the Soviet period, Kyrgyzstan did not have its own army; its servicemen were part of the Central Asian Military District. Conscripts served both within the district and in all union republics, as well as in a limited contingent of Soviet troops abroad. Separate military units were stationed in Kyrgyzstan, and military flight schools were located in the cities of Frunze, Tokmak, and Kant, where youth from countries friendly to the USSR were trained. After the collapse of the USSR, it was
The establishment of Soviet power and statehood in Kyrgyzstan began after the October Revolution of 1917. This process was quite lengthy. The first to establish Soviet power in the territory of Kyrgyzstan were the miners from Suluktu, followed by the miners of the city of Kyzyl-Kiya. In the city of Osh, the power was transferred to the Soviets only in January 1918 amidst fierce opposition. In Pishpek, the establishment of Soviet power was delayed until mid-January 1918, as a powerful center of
