  • 4E. Post-Soviet Politics
    Help Sheet to Design a Tour for a Group Interested in Post-Soviet Politics and Government in Central Asia The basics: Both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan were under Russian and then Soviet rule from the late 18th century until 1991. So both have very new governments. In Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov ruled from 1991 until his death in 2016. In Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev ruled from 1991 until he stepped down in March 2019 (and he still has a lot of power in the government). How to research the topic: Look up the history of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan after their independence from the Soviet Union. Also, look up the first president of each country to see their impact and the way they are celebrated in their respective countries. Planning your itinerary: Be sure to look up sites named after Nazarbayev and Karimov. Also, look for the wing of history museums devoted to modern times and political buildings that are open to the public. Visit some of these as part of your program. Travel from place to place: In planning your itinerary, you can take short regional flights to get to or from big cities that are far apart (e.g. from Nur-Sultan to Almaty or Tashkent). Be sure to check on Kayak.com or some other site to see if there are flights between cities that you want to visit. You don’t want to waste time on travel from place to place, so find direct flights. You must somehow strike a balance in your itinerary so that your travelers can see as many places as possible but not so many places that they spend all their time traveling without enough time to see things.

Keywords: Trademark, market, brand, brand effectiveness, branding, brand image, marketing, consumer, loyality, competitive market. Introduction It is very important for the company to use the trademark and manage them effectively in the working conditions on the competitive market. Trademark (Brand) obsesses the consumer's attention, attracts them and in case of customer’s satisfaction ensures their loyalty. “Consumer assesses the identical products depending on how it is branded"(1). But the brand can’t be considered in unchanged way, even strong and successful brand is evolving and changes over the time. Creating a brand is an important and significant first step towards its successful, hard way. Research of the issues related to the brand creation and development is one of the actual (urgent) topics, which is discussed in this paper on the example of Georgian mineral water "Borjomi".

Adilzhanova, Svetlana B. Kozhirovaa, and Rouben Azizianb aL. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Astana, KAZAKHSTAN; bThe Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, Honolulu, USA. ABSTRACT An important issue in the development of transitional societies at the present stage of historical development is the impact of "global democracy" system of government. Trends of such influence in the post-Soviet space, in particular, are becoming more tangible in the context of globalization and especially after the so-called "color revolutions" that took place in Georgia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and which, of course, led to violation of the existing social-political balance. The main problem that arises due to associated with the fact that global democracy is now replaced by the Americanization. On this basis there are no guarantees that the system of democratic values, which polarized American society, and could be a priority within the global community. Issues examined on the basis of the democratic potential of Kazakhstan. To ensure the democratization of the state governance system in Kazakhstan, it is expedient to establish clear rules of fairness, such as the creation by citizens, civil society, the exclusion of the state from the private sphere of interests, ensure the rule of law, civil initiatives and human rights. These are the main criteria by which developing Western civilization, and they may be adapted to the realities of the development of any type of society, especially Kazakh. KEYWORDS ARTICLE HISTORY Global democratization; politics of Kazakhstan; Received 5 June 2016 modernization of the state; democratic society; Revised 20 October 2016 the system of social values.

Nazarbayev Str., 100027, Karaganda, Republic of Kazakhstan 2Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University, 59a Central Ave., Severodonetsk, 93406, Ukraine Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis and systematization of data on hydrocarbon deposits in the Republic of Kazakhstan, highlighting those aspects that will allow the use of this method. The microbiological method of exposure refers to the chemical methods of the tertiary stage of development of oil reservoirs. It has already proven its effectiveness in highly depleted, waterflooded formations with irregular, diffuse oil saturation. Its main advantages are its relative cheapness, it does not require additional equipment during injecting of the microorganisms into the reservoir, and for their nutrition, as a rule, food industry waste is used, and its implementation cannot cause harmful effects on the environment. Also, a fairly extensive database was compiled, according to which various classifications of the republic's deposits were created. 1 Introduction removed, plus gases that can be extremely hazardous to health will be released.
