Question 3

The tallest mountain in Kyrgyzstan is Jengish Chokusu (24,406 ft); this is actually a Kyrgyz translation of its previous Russian name, Pik Pobeda, renamed in 1946 from the original (and super awkward) 1938 name: Pik 20-ti letiya Komsomola ("Peak of the 20th Anniversary of the Komsomol"). What do both Jengish Chokusu and Pik Pobeda translate to in English?
