The road runs from the intersection Qazybek Bi near Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen until it merges with Gornaya Street.

The road was formed at the end of the 19th century from the Bolshoy Alma-Ata stanitsa to the Kargalinsky highway, later along the Small Almaty gorge in connection with its economic development.

On the avenue, lined with pyramidal poplars and partially landscaped sidewalks, the main buildings and structures of Verny were: Gostiny Dvor, public meeting, post office and a telegraph; in the mountains there were mills, kruporushki, a brewery and a candle factory, a hospital, summer cottages.

The district of the region, located in the southeastern one, is a link between the urban development and the surrounding mountain landscape, the city center and the zones of mass recreation for residents in the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau was the new sports complex Medeu.

Thanks to the road, reconstructed in a highly rugged terrain, along Lenin Avenue it became possible to climb almost to the very glaciers with the height of 3100 m. On the avenue were created extensive courdoners and squares in front of the high-rise Hotel Kazakhstan, the Pioneers Palace, the House of Political Education of the Alma-Ata Regional Committee of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, the Lenin Palace.
