Almaty (Alma-Ata) - photopanoramas and stereophotos

(I don't know english. All translations do a computer.
I excuses for possible inexactnesses of translation.)

The city of Almaty is located in a southeast part of Republic Kazakhstan, in the north of mountain spurs of Tjan-Shanj, at bottom of northern slope of Zailijsky Ala-Tau at height 600 - 900 metres above sea level, in valleys of the rivers Big and Small Almatinki (to look a site on a map).

The history of Almaty has begun in 1854 when military fortress "Vernoe" has been based. In the summer 1855 to new strengthening there has arrived the first party of the Siberian Cossacks and settlers from the central Russia. In 1859 in a city there were 5000 inhabitants. In april, 1867 strengthening is renamed into a city Vernyj (True, Reliable) - an administrative centre of again created Semy-Rechensky area. In march, 1921, a year later after a definitive establishment of the Soviet power, a city Vernyj have renamed into Alma-Ata. In 1926 the population made 45 thousand persons. Now person is more than 1,6 million.

Almaty in Kazakhstan the same that St.-Petersburg in Russia. The former capital, the cultural centre of all country. The great attention in 80-90th years was given to a city architecture and have started to be given again, after 2000. During the last years built a considerable quantity of buildings of original architecture, basically elite habitation. But whether they will resist at earthquakes expected in the future? Bless God that they did not decay...

In October, 1966 by the directed explosion formed the dam in river Small-Almaty gorge which has rescued a city from an earth flow in 1973 has been. In december, 1972 at bottom of this dam the sports complex "Medeo" with an artificial skating rink is opened.
