Astana __ "In December 1997,
the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbaev, decrees that the capital of
the Republic should be moved from Almaty to Aqmola, a provincial town on the
right bank of the Ishim River about a thousand kilometers to the north. Although
the decree does not sit well with the legislators and the commercial
magnates--they have comfortably centered their private and professional lives on
Almaty--Nazarbaev pushes for the change." An historic overview. - illustrated -

Astana City :: The Capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan __ An excellent

the development of virgin lands began, the town was renamed Tselinograd and
typified the administrative center of an agricultural region." - illustrated -
