Bishkek is a city of wide boulevards and marble-faced public buildings combined with numerous panel style apartment buildings (often referred to as &#8220;Soviet style&#8221;). There are also thousands of smaller privately built houses, mostly outside the city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1648658763180_1970\">Today, Bishkek is a modern city with many restaurants and cafes, but it still preserves its former Soviet feel with Soviet-period buildings and gardens prevailing over newer structures. In addition to the Soviet brutal buildings, there are also many other well-preserved soviet style buildings such as the Kyrgyz Drama Theatre, the Pervomaisky District Court, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/sla2022\/authors\/sarah-chong\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/sla2022\/authors\/sarah-chong\/\">Sarah Chong<\/a> (Class of 2023) will be studying Russian in Kyrgyzstan in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pjgardner\/3548602331\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan&#8221;<\/a>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pjgardner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jessica Gardner<\/a>&nbsp;is licensed under&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bishkek, formerly Pishpek and Frunze, is the capital and largest city of Kyrgyzstan.&nbsp;Set in the Chu River Valley against the Kyrgyz Mountains to the south, architecture is one of the city&#8217;s essential elements.
