History of Astana Square in Almaty during Soviet period.

In 1921, the square was renamed Red Square. The building of the Alekseevsky Military Cathedral housed the exhibits of the Regional and Antireligious Museums, evacuated from Orenburg. The last priest of the Alekseevsky Cathedral, Father Alexy (Markovsky), was repressed.
After the demolition of the imperial buildings, a new complex was erected: the Government House (1928-1931), the Administration of the Turkestan-Siberian Railway (1929-1934), and the Communications House (now Kazpost), along with other buildings constructed during the first Soviet five-year plans.
The first two buildings were designed by the talented Soviet architect M. Ya. Ginzburg with the participation of I. F. Millinis, and the last by G. Gerasimov. The further development of Alma-Ata made it necessary to construct a new republican center complex that would meet the growing needs of Kazakhstan's public life.
The square was paved with cobblestones, the first tram (1937) and first trolleybus (1944) were launched, streets were renamed, and new Soviet monuments were erected. In 1955, the administrative building of Kazpotrebsoyuz was built on the corner with Panfilov Street.
The monument to V. I. Lenin was unveiled on November 7, 1957, in Lenin Square. The sculptor was E. V. Vuchetich, and the architect was I. I. Belotserkovsky. It is 12 meters tall and made of bronze and red granite. The monument depicts V. I. Lenin addressing the people.
In 1957, construction of the new government building of the Kazakh SSR (now KBTU) was also completed. After the opening of L. I. Brezhnev Square in 1980, the square became popularly known as "Old Square." In 1987, the Alley of Outstanding Figures was opened behind the Government House.

Astana Square is the main square of the "southern capital" of Kazakhstan. The square has hosted and continues to host the city's most significant events, as well as various celebrations and fairs. The monument to V.I. Lenin was moved to the park behind the Sary-Arka Cinema in 1997.
The unveiling of the monument to the female Heroes of the Soviet Union, A. Moldagulova and M. Mametova, took place on October 25, 1997. The ceremony was attended by the President of Kazakhstan and members of the government. Sculptor: K.K. Satybaldin, architects: T. Yeraliyev and V. Sidorov. Designer - M. E. Erkenov.
The pedestal depicts two Hero of the Soviet Union Gold Stars and the girls' names in Kazakh: "Alia" and "Manshuk." The monument's plot is purely imaginary, as Aliya and Manshuk were not even acquainted. The monument was erected on the site of the Lenin monument in the square opposite the Kazakh government building.
In September 2017, the square's reconstruction was completed. The number of roadway lanes was reduced, and bollards separated pedestrians from traffic. The freed-up space was used for bike paths, granite paving, and landscaping with turf and lavender beds.
The esplanade was renovated, featuring an open amphitheater, in front of which are two dry fountains with nighttime illumination. For the convenience of tourists, an information and touchscreen terminal is planned for installation in the square.
