  • First Mining Works in Zhezkazgan Opening of The
    HISTORY 1913 FIRST MINING WORKS IN ZHEZKAZGAN The first large-scale mining works started on the Zhezkazgan copper deposit. Processing of copper ore into finished products was performed at Sarysuiskaia Enrichment Factory by Spasskoe JSC, which was headed by the Englishman Leslie Urkart. The company was nationalized after the October Revolution in the 1920s. 1928 OPENING OF THE KONYRAT COPPER DEPOSIT Academician Mikhail Petrovich Rusakov discovered the Konyrat copper deposit, which became the basis of the Balkhash complex. LAUNCH OF KARSAKPAI COPPER SMELTER First non-ferrous metallurgy of Kazakhstan. On October 18, the first coarse copper from Zhezkazgan ores was issued. 1929 GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF ZHEZKAZGAN In 1927 the work of K.I. Satpaev “Karsakpaiskii raion i ego perspektivy” [Karsakpaiskii region and its prospects] was published. There the scientist proves the fundamentality and importance of the study and exploration of the Zhezkazgan deposit. In 1929, the geological exploration was entirely entrusted to the scientist. By the end of 1931, a team of geologists led by K.I. Satpayev had proved the presence of large deposits of copper in Zhezkazgan, many times greater than the predictions of the Geological Committee. 1934 Launch of the Konyrat mine. 1937 Balkhash heat and power plant (BTETS) was put in operation. 1938 OPENING OF BALKHASH COPPER SMELTER In April 1931, the board of Tsvetmetzoloto of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the USSR decided on the construction of a pyrometallurgical plant in the area of Lake Balkhash. On April 23, 1938, the first copper concentrate at Balkhash Enrichment Factory was issued. On November 24, 1938, the first coarse copper from the Pribalkhash’e Ores was received in Balkhash, and the anode copper was poured in the same year.

  • Kazakhstan: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report
    Kazakhstan: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report The Asian Development Bank has been supporting efforts to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries. A major focus of these efforts is improving the transport and trade sectors to spur economic growth and promote social and political cohesion within the region. Improving the efficiency of the CAREC transport corridors will allow these landlocked countries to take full advantage of being transit countries between the surging and dynamic economies of the East and the West. This report, one of a series of nine reports, highlights the substantial challenges that Kazakhstan needs to overcome and recommends measures to make its transport and trade Kazakhstan sectors more efficient and cost-competitive. Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development About the Asian Development Bank Strategy Report ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

Detailed Technical Description of the Work Planned for the Next Reporting Period V. Specific Actions Required of the Government to Assist in Resolution of a Problem or to Assist in Timely Progression of the Task Order Annexes Financial Information I. Introduction Local government in Kazakhstan is a nexus for many of the key issues confronting the Republic’s development. Thus, advocating for issues related to decentralization requires a thoughtful and comprehensive, democracy-based strategy at the local level. Local government officials are often not properly trained, hamstrung by a lack of budgetary resources, ineffective, and sometimes corrupt. Year three of the Local Government Initiative (LGI) – Kazakhstan builds on the foundation established by the first two and half years by helping to enable “more effective, responsible and accountable local governance” in Kazakhstan. The activities and the strategy undertaken by the International City/ County Management Association (ICMA) and its counterparts in reaching the Strategic Objective of USAID’s Local Government Initiative follow

  • Monuments and Memory in the Landscapes of Kazakhstan
    MONUMENTS AND MEMORY IN THE LANDSCAPES OF KAZAKHSTAN By Robert Kopack A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Geography – Master of Science 2013 ABSTRACT MONUMENTS AND MEMORY IN THE LANDSCAPES OF KAZAKHSTAN By Robert Kopack In the context of totalitarian regimes and their aftermaths, memorial landscapes are highly contested spaces in which newly emerging governments are quite active in framing and reframing the past as well as mapping a course for the future. Unsurprisingly, statuary and other overtly ideological materials are immediate targets. An abundance of scholarly literature has investigated memory, memorialization, and commemoration as state processes inherently complicated and problematized by greater public involvement. Far less time has been given however, to investigating the contrasting ways a state condemns or esteems the previous regime and for what reasons. Expanding these themes, Kazakhstan presents an ideal case study. Through an examination of archival materials, sixteen months of fieldwork, structured and unstructured interviews, media analysis, and governmental publications—this thesis uses discourse analysis to show the multiple agendas, conflicts, and negotiations that characterize the process of remembering the past and refashioning national identity in Kazakhstan. In this I examine three cities and how the legacies of the Soviet Union are selectively employed by the state to meet specific aims. First, underscoring a lack of uniformity in how the Soviet period is managed at the state level, this thesis investigates more broadly the kinds of currency that the Soviet period affords to Kazakhstan in different contexts. The three cities highlighted in this thesis were chosen to demonstrate the distinct ways that the legacies of the Soviet Union are employed in Kazakhstan in order to advance social, political, and economic agendas.
