He was the first officer to raise the [[Flag of the Soviet Union|Soviet Flag]] over the [[Reichstag building]] in [[Berlin]],&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/most-popular/2008/10/11/wes-brown-compares-fabio-capello-to-sir-alex-ferguson-115875-20792955/|title=Wes Brown compares Fabio Capello to Sir Alex Ferguson|date=11 October 2008|publisher=''[[Daily Mirror]]''|accessdate=24 March 2010}}&lt;/ref&gt; on April 30, 1945, during [[World War II]].<br /> <br /> Qoshqarbayev was born in [[Akmolinsk]] (now Astana), [[Kazakhstan]]. He commenced active duty in early 1945. He rose to the rank of [[Lieutenant]], and commanded the [[reconnaissance]] [[platoon]] of the 1st [[Rifle]] [[Battalion]], 674th [[Regiment]]. His unit was involved in heavy fighting, including the [[Battle of Berlin]].<br /> <br /> After the war Qoshqarbaev was the manager of the Alma-Ata Hotel. Unlike another Kazakh hero of the war, [[Baurzhan Momyshuly]], Qoshqarbaev was never awarded the [[Gold Star]]. This was due to the supposedly [[bourgeois]] background of Qoshqarbayev's father, which was a disadvantage in the [[Soviet Union]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Qoshqarbaev, Rakhimzhan}}<br /> [[Category:1924 births]]<br /> [[Category:1988 deaths]]<br /> [[Category:Battle of Berlin]]<br /> [[Category:Kazakhstani military personnel]]<br /> [[Category:Soviet military personnel of World War II]]<br /> [[Category:Ethnic Kazakh people]]<br /> [[Category:People from Astana]]<br /> [[Category:Heroes of Kazakhstan]]<br /> <br /> {{Kazakhstan-bio-stub}}</div>
