Previously Frunze - today Bishkek. The name Frunze was used until 1991 in honor of one of the Bolshevik leaders who was born here. Later, one of the variants was adopted - Piszpek- the origin of this word comes from the Kyrgyz name of the wineskin used in the production of koumiss. The meaning of this word in Sogdian means "settlement at the foot of the mountains" which would be the most accurate translation, because behind the socialist behemoths rise the heavenly Tien Shan mountains.
