City intellectual game “Symbols of my country” was held June 4 in KSIU. Participants – students of the Temirtau colleges – demonstrated their knowledge of state symbols and showed how they know how to determine their importance, significance and role in the life of Kazakhstan.

The discussion on this day turned out to be active and interesting. The students successfully answered the questions and proved that they have a high level of knowledge on the topic “state symbols”. During the blitz-poll they told what the heraldry means, what the words “anthem” and “coat of arms” mean when the state symbols of Kazakhstan were adopted, which must be strictly observed when the state emblem and the flag are indoors, and where and when can be used state emblem and flag, as well as the anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

More detailed knowledge required the following tours. In the second, for example, it was necessary to tell who is the emblem of of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is symbolized by the five-pointed star, who protects shanyrak from two sides, expressing the idea of serving the common home – the Motherland, which symbolizes on the coat of arms the cruciform triple kuldereushi Shanyrak, which means the image of shanyrak on coat of arms and much more. The third stage was devoted to the flag of the country. Among the questions is the author of the national flag, the symbol of which is the one-colored flag, which means the sun on the flag, how many rays around it depict why the rays are represented in the form of grains, how many projects participated in the competition for the development of the flag of our country, what is the ratio of the width of the flag to its length .

The national anthem was concerned with the next round. In the list of questions: who is the author of the words, what are the rules for the behavior of the citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan when the Anthem of of the Republic of Kazakhstan is sounded, how is the word “anthem” translated from the Greek language when the song “My Kazakhstan” was written, which later became a anthem, how many times in the history of Kazakhstan the anthem was approved. And then the representatives of the organizers – the department of internal politics of Temirtau and KSIU – checked how well the contestants know the anthem: the teams had to insert the missing words in one minute into the text they had been given on the sheets.

The most interesting was the tour, in which the teams for 7 minutes were to write mini-projects on the topic “How to educate the youth respect for state symbols?”. As a result, some participants suggested introducing lessons on this topic in the compulsory school curriculum with examinations at the end of each school year, while others spoke of the need to hold various actions in the city.

All participants of the intellectual game were awarded with certificates and valuable prizes. In addition, during the event they received gifts and participants in various competitions held by the Internal Policy Department of the city of Temirtau a little earlier.

The action, timed to the Day of State Symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the 20th anniversary of Astana, held with the participation of the Department of Domestic Politics of Temirtau, was held in several public places of the city. Students of the Karaganda State Industrial University performed the anthem of their native country.

Day of state symbols is celebrated in Kazakhstan on June 4. State symbols – flag, emblem and anthem – are the unshakable foundations of the state. The national anthem from January 2006 is the song “My Kazakhstan” (“Menin Kazakstanym “).

Students KSIU – young patriots – by their example wanted to “charge” people of Temirtau. Separated into several groups, they began to move towards each other, with a feeling of singing the anthem and putting their right hand to the heart.

– For us, participation in this action is a big responsibility. We feel proud when singing the anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan, “says Karibzhan Madiyar, the chairman of the Committee for Youth of KSIU, a student of the group” MS-15-k “. “We are the face and future of our state.” We call representatives of all generations, especially young people, always respect national values ​​- language, religion, traditions and, of course, state symbols.

The KSIU Scientific Library invites teachers and students to get acquainted with new books received under the program “New Humanitarian Knowledge. 100 new textbooks in the Kazakh language”. Among the literature are textbooks on economics, management, sociology, philosophy, business, linguistics, psychology, religious studies, anthropology and journalism.

On May 30, the City Historical and Local Lore Museum hosted the dialogue platform “The Tumbled World: Archive Documents Speak”, dedicated to the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions. Students of KSIU took an active part in the event.

The participants of the dialogue platform demonstrated unique documents with the names of all people of Temirtau  who were subjected to repression and many years later rehabilitated. Previously, no one kept such statistics, so the museum staff had to collect information by bit through the National Security Committee. In a unique list of 189 family names – 42 people were sentenced to be shot (their names were crossed out in red), the rest stayed in Stalin’s camps from 15 to 25 years.

For a small village of Samarkand, from which the city of Temirtau started, the figure 189 is huge. The names of the repressed were consigned to oblivion. So far information about these people is only contained in short dry archival records. The lists have never been published anywhere, so the museum staff suggested that students of the KSIU organize a search circle, with which it would be possible to find at least some information about these people and their loved ones.

A number of issues were voiced within the framework of the dialogue platform, among them:

– Does it make sense after decades of repression to raise and publish archival documents relating to the era of totalitarianism?

– Is it possible to justify repressive measures? the forces of prisoners built many industrial facilities – so maybe the end justifies the means?

– What is the reason for the mass retaliation and the use of capital punishment?

– How are the Stalinist repressions and the ethnic composition of the population in Kazakhstan connected?

– for what kind of actions for you in the years 1937-38 you could have been convicted?

– would you tell us about Stalin’s repressions to your relatives? Is there any repressed in your family?

The students of KSIU took an active part in the discussion and noted the importance of this topic. Representatives of different nationalities Zemfira Atakulova, Saveliy Elefteriadi and Leonid Kim told about the history of their ancestors repressed and relocated to Kazakhstan.
