Kazakh National Guard congratulates 101-year-old war veteran in Astana

Soldiers of the National Guard congratulated 101-year-old veteran Rzagul Baikeshev from Astana on the Victory anniversary. They marched ceremoniously in front of his house, while the honor guard’s orchestra performed wartime songs in his yard.

Baikeshev expressed his gratitude to the soldiers for their respect and attention. At the age of 17, he went to the front, took part in the battles near Rzhev, liberated Poland, Romania, and Hungary, and reached Berlin. It is worth noting that such events have become a good tradition. As of the end of January, there are 120 war veterans living in the country, six of whom reside in Astana.
