It is dedicated to and named after the Panfilov heroes which were the 28 soldiers of an Alma-Ata Infantry unit who allegedly died while defending Moscow from the German invasion during the Second World War. The group took its name from Ivan Panfilov, the General commanding the 316th division which, in spite of heavy casualties, believed at that time managed to significantly delay the Germans advance to Moscow, thus buying the time for the defenders of the city. An eternal flame commemorating the fallen of the World War II and the Eastern Front burns in front of the giant black monument of soldiers from all 15 Soviet republics.

• Panfilov Division Was Made Of Mostly Asian Peoples Drafted From Kazakhstan And Uzbekistan.
• The reverse design features a depiction of a fragment of the Memorial of Glory located in the park of Panfilov’s guardsmen in Almaty. The inscriptions include the anniversary dates “1945” and “2015” with “ҰЛЫ ЖЕҢІСКЕ 70 ЖЫЛ” in state language and “70 ЛЕТ ВЕЛИКОЙ ПОБЕДЕ” in Russian (70 YEARS OF GREAT VICTORY).
• The Panfilov Division's Twenty-Eight Guardsmen (Russian: Двадцать восемь гвардейцев дивизии Панфилова), commonly referred to simply as Panfilov's Twenty-Eight Guardsmen, Panfilov's Men (Russian: Панфиловцы, Panfilovtsy), or just the Twenty-Eight, were a group of soldiers from the Red Army's 316th Rifle Division who took part in the Battle of Moscow during World War II.
• They were all killed in action on 16 November 1941, after destroying 18 German tanks and stopping the enemy attack; the Twenty-Eight were collectively endowed with the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
• Although Recent Historical Research Put In Doubt Accuracy Of Official Soviet Account Of Battle Participant Experiences, Many Kazakh People Did Give Their Lives Defending Moscow And The Actual Panfilov Division Did Manage To Destroy Several Tanks Despite Grim Odds.
