Payevskaya Y.: Salem, Аstana!

Salem!

We are at the heart of our country - in the capital of Kazakhstan! It's not all just business, innovation, and glass buildings. The capital holds the history of a whole five cities.

Before us lies old Akmolinsk - the city of trade. You might also recognize it as the mighty Tselinograd that cultivated land and built machinery. And here is the modest Akmola, who one fine day woke up a princess. There's even the young Nur-Sultan, who bravely weathered the pandemic alongside his inhabitants. All these cities make up the vibrant beauty that is Astana, and she continues to bloom right before our very eyes.
