Senate Speaker Maulen Ashimbayev,
along with veterans of labor and security agencies, military personnel, and senators,
laid flowers at the monument to Kazakh sniper Aliya Moldagulova in Astana and
observed a minute of silence in honor of the memory of the fallen frontline
soldiers. Senate members also extended congratulations to Rzagul Baikeshev on
Victory Day, who celebrated his 100th birthday last year. The war veteran
participated in battles during the liberation of Poland, Romania, and Hungary.
Mazhilis Speaker Yerlan Koshanov and
members of the Mazhilis, a Lower House of the Kazakh Parliament, laid flowers
at the monument to Manshuk Mametova. The monument to the famous Kazakh machine
gunner, awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously, was
erected in Astana in 2018. It is worth reminding that during World War II, 1.2
million Kazakhs were called to the front, with half of them not returning home.
Over 700,000 Kazakhs worked on the labor front. All of them made an invaluable
contribution to the Victory.
