Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex launches unique project marking 80th anniversary of Victory

Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex has launched a unique project. To mark the 80th anniversary of Victory, the Kazinform agency is reviving rare photographs from World War II. One such image, taken in the 1940s, features the renowned sniper Aliya Moldagulova, brought to life with the help of artificial intelligence. This and other photographs are stored in a vast database containing hundreds of thousands of images. They will soon be made accessible to the general public. The restored photos will be displayed on LED screens at railway stations and airports across the country. The first exhibition of this unique project will open on May 5 at the Nurly Zhol railway station.

«To mark the 80th anniversary of Victory, we have compiled a vast archive. Using new technologies, we began restoring old archival photographs. This offers a new way to experience the atmosphere of that time. A black-and-white image may feel distant, but when brought to life in color, it reveals the emotions, aspirations, and dreams of the people it portrays,» noted Nagashybek Aldan, Deputy Managing Director of the Kazinform International News Agency.
