According to historians, during Stalin’s regime more than 100 thousand Kazakhstan people were repressed, of whom almost every fourth was shot. Kazakh intelligentsia was mercilessly and brutally executed, and approximately one third of the population of Kazakhstan perished from starvation.

Remembering that terrible time, every resident of Kazakhstan should be aware of the scale of the tragedy and its consequences for the history of our country.
