Days of Kazakh Culture take place in Russia’s Tyumen region

The Days of Kazakh Culture were held in the Tyumen region of Russia. Representatives of the region’s national cultural organizations participated in the celebration. The guests were introduced to the traditions and customs of the Kazakh people. The exhibition of national patchwork quilts, created using an ancient technique, aroused great interest. Vocal and dance groups, along with family ensembles, performed on stage. During the event, families who have made a significant contribution to preserving national cultural traditions were honored. Notably, around 40,000 Kazakhs reside in the Tyumen region.

«We have gathered here to showcase our traditions and customs, national dances, demonstrate the sounds of the Kazakh kui and the dombyra, and, of course, how our children preserve these traditions,» said resident of the Tyumen region Askar Kaliyev.

«We study the Kazakh language and read in it, with both children and adults learning alongside us. Kazakh families living here observe all traditions, and we also organize Kazakh games. We host national Kazakh celebrations, for which we specifically set up a yurt,» shared resident of the Tyumen region Gulmira Yerkimbekova.
