I think you don't know about some of history,kazakhstan people is coming from turks...

[vonPeterhof]

@angelFB01 I grew up in Kazakhstan, so I know about that. This video is just about the Soviet period of Kazakhstan's history, not about where Kazakhs originated from.

[yipyip14]

Why this video had Stalin?

Stalin is not kazakh!

He is Georgian!

[vonPeterhof]

Because his policies affected Soviet Kazakhstan immensely, namely the famine that resulted from his collectivisation and the network of GULAG camps that were built for the victims of his repressions. Lenin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev also were not Kazakh, but their policies affected Kazakhstan, as well as all the other republics.

@MrAsiansunite

for someone with your username you seem to be a big admirer of european culture. inferiority comlex?

[chickenwretch]

Sounds like some Kazakhs miss the old Soviet-era handouts and the fact that mediocrity still got rewarded. What the government gives the government takes away. If this is all one has known a free market get off your ass economy comes as a shock. So who had it tougher?

[folladordeprostis]

man people in kazakhstan miss old ussr?

[Armando1735]

E hoje dirigidos por mafiosos e bandidos. Bela mudança.

[I11739]

Да,история нашей страны здесь изложена неплохо,жаль,что использован старый гимн.Но в целом -позитивно! Мне понравилось.

@vonPeterhof Хорошая упорядоченная фотохроника, увидел очень много редких кадров, которых до этого даже нигде не видел. Но скорее всего надо было запретить комментарии, потому что заходят блять эти тупые иностранцы, которые, например увидев Сталина, спорят при чём тут он и Казахстан, либо пихают во все комменты свою Турцию, либо этого Бората и т.д. ; а потом зайдут люди, кому действительно интересно узнать что-либо про Казахстан, и многие будут думать что в комментах правильно пишут мля...

[mecado100]

everything comes at a price... we paid ... but we still have our own state and land and OUR names... now kazakhs are majority in KZ, this is what Indian people can not say about themselves living on their own land reaped away by white F...S )))

[MrAsiansunite]

@Erakz100 Kazakhstan was, is and will be always the part of Russia. Russia will always influence(which Kazakhstan vitally needs) Kazakhstan. Look at your compatriots, they all behave like russians. Without Russia Kazakhstan is nothing

[MrAsiansunite]

Let's admit it, without Russians Kazakhs are nothing today. Russians brought culture to kazakhs. Today the Kazakhstan is stable is because of Russians, all rich and civilized kazakhs are russified, they do not speak kazakh but russian only, which tells us how superior russian culture is compared to kazakhs.
