Victory Boulevard in Aktau — Online Webcam

Victory Boulevard — the Green Heart of Aktau

Victory Boulevard is an urban park of culture and recreation in Aktau, created in memory of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The green zone stretches between the 7th and 9th microdistricts of the city and serves as one of the main attractions for local residents and visitors to the Mangystau region. The online camera installed at this location offers a view of the drama theater — the architectural dominant of the entire area. The live broadcast allows you to observe the life of the city in real time: vehicle traffic at intersections, pedestrians in the squares, and evening illumination of buildings.

The "Eternal Flame" Memorial — History and Restoration

The boulevard begins with the "Eternal Flame" memorial, which was solemnly opened on May 9, 1985 — on the 40th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. The chief architect of the memorial was E. B. Fedorov. The honor of lighting the flame was awarded to the Order of Glory cavalier P. Malayev. In 2019, the memorial underwent a large-scale restoration costing 67 million tenge. Originally, the monument was equipped with musical accompaniment, making it not only a visual but also an auditory symbol of remembrance.

Nurmukhan Zhanturin Drama Theater

The central object in the webcam frame is the Mangystau Regional Musical and Drama Theater named after Nurmukhan Zhanturin, located in the 8th microdistrict of Aktau, opposite Victory Boulevard. The building with its distinctive conical architecture has become one of the city's landmarks. The theater was founded on March 21, 2003 on the initiative of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev — the issue of opening the theater was raised in October 2001 at the I Congress of Youth in Aktau. Before the theater was built, the city of Aktau made do with only a Palace of Culture, so the appearance of a full-fledged stage became a cultural event for the entire region.

What Is Located Near Victory Boulevard

The surroundings of Victory Boulevard are filled with sites worth visiting. Nearby are: the Zhanturin Drama Theater, the Mangyshlak Experimental Botanical Garden, the Regional Philharmonic named after Murat Oskenbayev, and the Caspian Sea embankment. The Mangyshlak Experimental Botanical Garden is a true green oasis in the center of Aktau, where 1,270 plant taxa (250 genera, 88 families) grow.

Among other attractions worth noting are the city embankment — a 3-kilometer promenade in the 15th microdistrict, landscaped in 2013, the lighthouse house, the Beket-ata underground mosque, the rock trail, and the local history museum. In front of the entrance to the local history museum stands a monument to the people's writer of Kazakhstan, Abish Kekilbayev.
