2There in the reading hall of “Kazakstan kitaptary” is organized the book exhibition, “Tagzym zhane dank zhyly”dedicated to the 75-th anniversary of the Victory over fascism in the Great Patriotic war.

The Great Patriotic war began on June 22, 1941 when the fascist Germany by breaking the Soviet-German agreements of 1939, attacked the USSR. The war became a huge trial for all the peoples of the Soviet Union, including the Kazakh people.

The outstanding military leader, the hero of the war Bauyrzhan Momyshuly wrote: “The war became the breaking and turning point in the history of the Kazakh people too, leaving the ineffaceable trace in the hearts of the millions of our compatriots. “Kazakhstan in the Great Patriotic war” is the theme which remains noble and worrying not only in our time but for the future too“.

The Kazakhstanis actively and everywhere participated in the war as the citizens of the single country. Many went to the front as volunteers and found themselves in the very heat of the war: under Moscow, Stalingrad and the Kursk arch. There to the front went approximately 70 percent of the masculine population of the republic aged from 18 to 50 years old. The 1418 days of the Great Patriotic war became the most intense period in the history of the Soviet state, including Kazakhstan. The soldiers and officers not sparing their lives, defeated the fascists and attained the Great Victory over fascist Germany. The banner of Victory over the Reighstag was put by lieutenant R.Koshkarbayev, sergeant M.Egorov, junior sergeant M.Kantaria, P.Shcherbina, the soldiers G.Bulatov, I.Prygunov and N.Byk. The title of Hero of the Soviet Union was given to 497 Kazakhstanis.
