Kyrgyz State Technical University I. Razzakov

The Kyrgyz State Technical University (KSTU) was founded in 1954 as a polytechnic institute. The Kyrgyz politician Iskhak Razzakovich Razzakov played an important role in shaping the country, which is why the institution was renamed after him in 1995.

Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan and at the same time the political, economic and cultural center of the country. The city is not only the most highly developed region, but also the one with the highest gross domestic product in Kyrgyzstan. As the cultural center of the country, Bishkek is home to numerous cultural institutions. Among the best known are the Bishkek Opera and Ballet Theater and the Kyrgyz and Russian Drama Theaters in Bishkek.
