Holidays of Kazakhstan - Day of State Symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan

It was on this day in 1992 that the state symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which became an independent state, were declared Isolation from the USSR in 1991 provoked the need to create our own new, authentic symbols that emphasize sovereignty The date was given official status in 2007 by decree of the first and so far only president N Nazarbayev The state symbols are the coat of arms, flag, anthem and constitution The standards are stored in the presidential residence, called Akorda, a unique and beautiful place in the capital Astana The flag of Kazakhstan is monochromatic, made in the same turquoise-blue color that was present on the previous version from the times of the USSR in the form of a stripe on a characteristic red background In the central part of the rectangular panel there is a sun with the silhouette of a soaring golden eagle, and at the shaft, of the same golden yellow color, there is a national ornament The authorship belongs to Shaken Niyazbekov, who interpreted these as symbols of freedom and independence The eagle in the heraldic sense also menacingly hints at a serious rebuff to ideological opponents The coat of arms uses a similar, more than laconic, color scheme, which is symbolic for the original Turkic people, whose ancestors are modern Kazakhs And although the authors of the coat of arms were other people, this was the collective work of Zh Malibekov and Sh Ualikhanov, they also used elements reflecting the nomadic past and peaceful future of the Kazakh people The perfect form (circle) is held in high esteem and respect by original nomads Just like shanyrak - the top of the yurt, which is stylized in the central part of the coat of arms What can better express the desire for peace, family well-being, and prosperity than the image of a home, and what is common to all residents of the country is beloved Kazakhstan Two mystical horses on the sides, called tulpars, are symbols of the Turkic ethnic group, corresponding to Pegasus Their significance is confirmed by the legendary find - they adorn the helmet of the Golden Man This unique exhibit, which became a symbol of Kazakhstan, was found along with other valuables from the Issyk mound The choice of anthem is not such a clear-cut story Adopted back in Soviet times, the version continued to operate after the independence of the republic was declared The sound of the anthem unexpectedly did not suit the president He announced his decision on May 9, 2000 It was proposed to accept the poems of Nazarbayev himself, but they proved that there are problems with plagiarism and not everything is so transparent regarding this particular work Only after almost 6 years the problem of choosing a suitable replacement was solved The song “My Kazakhstan”, co-authored by Zh Nazhimedenov and Sh Kaldayakov, was written back in 1956 Adaptation by Nazarbayev himself to match the state symbol allowed him to become a co-author The status is emphasized by a serious approach at the time of listening Although the holiday is not an official day off, the government and government officials hold ceremonial events and festive concerts, because this day is another reason to glorify Kazakhstan And in the anniversary year of 2017, more than 50 interesting events will take place, for example, a 25 thousand km marathon
