Victory Park

Kostanay Victory Park is located on the territory of the former city Orthodox cemetery. It was active from the late 19th century to 1949. Here, in mass graves, rests the ashes of those killed during the Civil War, as well as participants of the Great Patriotic War, who died in hospitals, died in plane crashes of cadets and pilots of the Stalingrad Military Aviation School, located during the war in Kustanay.

In 1949, the city authorities ordered the cemetery to be closed for burials, and in 1965 the construction of the park began on this site. A year later, according to the project of local sculptors, the Belousov brothers began to build a memorial monument in the park.
