Kazakhstan's history full of bright examples of heroic deeds - President

"Modern army of Kazakhstan is the heir of our heroic ancestors. Over the years of independence we've managed to create a professional army and adopt a military doctrine that meets the national interests," the Head of State noted. The Kazakh President especially emphasized the peaceful character of military doctrine used in Kazakhstan. "We will celebrate the Victory Day in two days. Nearly 2 million of our compatriots took part in this murderous war - the World War II. Almost half of those people have never returned home. More than 500 countrymen became Heroes of the Soviet Union: Ivan Panfilov, Bauyrzhan Momyshuly, Kassym Kaissenov, Manshuk Mametova, Aliya Moldagulova, Vasiliy Klochkov, Sergei Luganskiy, Rakymzhan Koshkarbayev, Nurken Abdirov, Sagadat Nurmagambetov, Talgat Bigeldinov and many others. These people are the legends," N. Nazarbayev said.
