Prospect Dostyk (Alma-Ata)

Historically formed at the end of the 19th century from the Big Alma-Ata village to the Kargaly highway, later along the Small Alma-Ata gorge in connection with its economic development. On the avenue, lined with pyramidal poplars and partially landscaped sidewalks, the main buildings and structures of Verny were located : Gostiny Dvor, Public Assembly, post office and telegraph; in the mountains - mills, grits, a brewery and a candle factory, a hospital, summer cottages of Vernenets ^[1] . It was called “Kolpakovsky Street” in honor of the Russian general, one of the largest figures in the conquest of Central Asia by Kolpakovsky Gerasim Alekseevich .

During the years of the establishment of Soviet power, M. V. Frunze lived on the avenue, the city council visited M. I. Kalinin , the first party and public organizations of the city were created ^[1] .

In 1970, in commemoration of the centenary of the birth of V.I. Lenin , the memorial development of Lenin Avenue was completed. The reconstruction area, located in the southeast, was the link between urban development and the surrounding mountain landscape, the city center and areas of mass recreation for residents in the foothills of the Zailiysky Alatau , the new Medeo sports complex. Thanks to the highway, reconstructed in a very rugged terrain, along Lenin Avenue, it became possible to climb almost to the glaciers (3100 m). On the avenue, extensive kurdoners and squares in front of the high-rise hotel "Kazakhstan", the Republican Palace of Pioneers, the House of Political Education of the Alma-Ata Regional Committee of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, and the Palace named after V. I. Lenin were created. The location of the objects at the intersection with Abay Avenue and the square named after L. I. Brezhnev laid the foundation for the creation of one of the main urban development nodes of the city. The memorial complex brought to life was designed by architects T. K. Basenov, V. Sh. Gershberg, A. I. Petrov, N. I. Ripinsky and others ^[2] .
