The exhibition, which is available here https://www.krsu.edu.kg/gallery/sr-16102024-1615, reveals an important period in the history of Kyrgyzstan, starting in 1924, when the session of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic adopted a resolution on the national demarcation of Central Asia and the creation of the Kara-Kyrgyz Autonomous Region.
