White House, Bishkek

The White House in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, serves as the presidential office and has been a focal point for significant political upheaval, including the 2005 Tulip Revolution and the 2010 and 2020 riots. Built in a Stalinist modern style and completed in 1985, the seven-storey building features a marble exterior and is adorned with the national crest. It was originally intended as the headquarters for the Communist Party. The site is notable for its historical significance, having witnessed protests that led to the ousting of presidents and the destruction of government records during riots. Today, it houses the Supreme Council deputies and the President's office, while an underground complex is rumored to connect it to Ala-Too Square.
