Kazakhstan



A nice card from Almaty, Kazakhstan

Almaty (Kazakh: Алматы / Almatı / الماتى), formerly known as Alma-Ata (Russian: Алма-Ата, until 1992) and Verny (Russian: Верный, until 1921), is the largest city in Kazakhstan, with a population of 1,348,500 (as of 1 September 2008),[2] which represents 9% of the population of the country.

It was the capital of Kazakhstan (and its predecessor, the Kazakh SSR) from 1929 to 1997. Despite losing its status as the capital to Astana, Almaty remains the major commercial center of Kazakhstan.


I don't know much from Kazakhstan, so I hope to receive more card from my friend.


Thank you!
