    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.

    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.

Today there is no single universally accepted method for assessing the competitiveness of the country's regions. For this reason, the research created a methodology for assessing competitiveness at the regional level for Kazakhstan. The three-factor model of Huggins for ranking the regions of Great Britain by the level of competitiveness was used as the basis, and then the model was expanded on the example of a study assessing the competitiveness of the regions of the European Union countries. All data for assessing the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan were collected from the official website of the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the article, 14 regions and 2 cities of republican significance were ranked in terms of competitiveness. As a result, the most competitive regions of Kazakhstan were Almaty city, Atyrau region and Nur-Sultan city, the worst indicator was found for the North Kazakhstan and Zhambyl regions. 1 Introduction Today, one of the highest priorities facing each state is increasing national competitiveness. National competitiveness reflects the country's ability to achieve high rates of economic growth and maintain it in the long run, control the efficient use of resources and compete in the international arena. For increasing the level of national competitiveness, it is important to understand its formation structure.

This work uses environ- mental monitoring techniques to analyze the current state of surface waters in the river. The content of main ions, biogenic and inorganic ions, heavy metals, organic impurities in seasonal and annual dynamics have been studied. Results show that, despite the tightening of requirements for wastew- ater discharge into the Ishim River basin, a number of water quality indicators did not fulfill the regulatory requirements for surface water bodies during 2013–2019. It has been identified that the greatest pollution in the Ishim River is brought by enterprises of the Karaganda-Temirtau techno- genic region, located in the upper reaches of the river. Future water quality monitoring is needed and should include increasing the number of sampling locations and the sampling frequency in Citation: Salikova, N.S.; order to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of hydrochemical parameters and allow a Rodrigo-Ilarri, J.; Alimova, K.K.; Rodrigo-Clavero, M.-E.

This article discusses issues related to the environmental problems in various sectors of the Central Kazakhstan’s economy at the present stage. It is emphasized that the level of environmental pollution is increasing along with industrial progress in coal, non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgy, chemistry, engineering, and the growth of the transport highways network and numerous communications. The authors of the article give examples of how the transition to market mechanisms of economic development generated, on the one hand, the growth of the republic’s powerful economic potential. On the other hand, the increase in industrial production with energy and resource-intensive production has led to a real threat of an environmental crisis in the region. It is concluded that the solution of the environmental problem is possible by preserving and restoring natural systems, a complete social transition to sustainable development by practical implementation of the environmental concept, including natural-resource, techno-economic, demographic and sociocultural aspects. According to the authors, these measures will contribute to the way out of the current environmental crisis, a radical improvement of the environment, will be the key to preserving the ecology of space.
