Astana - photopanoramas and stereophotos
The city of Astana is located in
northern part of Republic of Kazakhstan. The
modern history of Astana has begun in 195? to year, at the time
of Khruschev's board, with the beginning of development of a
virgin soil (tselina). A city and named - Tselinograd. Up to disorder of
the USSR, it there was the remote peripheral small town which
was the regional centre in which, in a more way to the account,
there is nothing was to look and there is no place to go...
But
eventually to it has good luck and after the announcement of
independence of Kazakhstan, the Republic capital has been
transferred by the strong-willed decision of the President from
Almaty to Tselinograd, in 1998. City has soon been renamed into Akmola (a
pre-revolutionary name of a city).
But
this name long has not held on. The people have started to
translate it as "a white tomb". And who will like to
live in a city with such gloomy name... Took, and have renamed
once again. Without hesitation, new capital and named: "Astana"
that in transfer from the Kazakh language means "Capital (Metropolis)".
For
ten years, passed after capital transfer, in this city were consumed
millions dollars
from all Kazakhstan, the set of buildings of different function,
with attraction of foreign architects is constructed. Now in it
there is small town is on what to look and than to adore. And, though other territory of
Kazakhstan to wallow in reorganisation ruins, for inhabitants of city
I am very glad... Should though to someone
to happiness... Well let in this life it there will be they...
