Historical data: According to historical data, about 3 million people (42% of the total population) died in Kazakhstan from hunger and disease in 1932-1933. For these reasons, more than 600 thousand Kazakh citizens were forced to leave their native land and go abroad. In 1937-1938, the Stalinist repressions, together with the famine that destroyed almost half of the people, was also a heavy blow for the Kazakhs. During these years, about 100 thousand people were innocently convicted in Kazakhstan, of which 25 thousand were shot. The innocent victims and victims of this regime were the educated intelligentsia of our people. Only from Aktobe 7 thousand people were shot, and 1800 people were sentenced to death.
Description and characteristics of the monument: The composition is the personality of a person who has become a victim of a totalitarian regime. A strong personality, with a sadness drooping head to his chest, but not a broken strong soul is unshakable. He is trying to free him from the iron captivity in order to prove his innocence and innocence. His bare leg has entered the ground, but he believes that it will be restored. The figure is wrapped in cloth, like tongues of flame. The words of President N. Nazarbayev, dedicated to the memory of victims of political repression and hunger, “tragic pages of history, victims of political repression and famine are always in our memory, and it is our sacred duty not to forget about him” are sealed on the granite. A shanyrak is installed in the background above the granite wall. Sculptor Ahmet Kubay.
