The "Qarabau-2" mound, located 10 kilometers north of the village of Karabau in the Kyzylkoga district, has a diameter of 70 and a height of 3 meters. As a result of the work carried out on the mound in 2023-2024, 9 graves were examined, seven of which were found to be unrobbery. During the study of the graves, it became known that they were built in the 5th century BC. Various jewelry, objects, weapons, and vessels made of ceramics and bone were found in them. According to archaeologists, there were also cases of mass burials of corpses. Judging by the jewelry found in the mounds and the items and weapons used, experts have assessed them as "royal mounds", - reports the Regional Communications Service.The results of the 2-year archaeological work of the Atyrau Regional Museum of History and Local Lore were presented at the "Sarmatian Gold" exhibition. The event was attended by the deputy akim of the region, Daryn Shamuratov, heads of the regional department for the development of culture and languages, and historians."Scientists have previously considered our region to be the outskirts of the Sarmatian Empire. Judging by the results of the excavations we conducted, we can say that it was the center of a large empire in the Caspian lowland, the Urals, and the Zhem River basin. The total number of artifacts found is about a thousand. About a hundred of them are gold ornaments and jewelry. They are made in the style of animals. The images of predators that inhabited the region at that time (leopard, wild boar, tiger, deer) can be seen on the finds. As part of this research, a double bowl made of wood, which had not been found before, was preserved in good condition. Currently, they are being restored," said the head of the archaeological expedition, Marat Kasenov.A total of 3 mounds were excavated. Approximately 10-15 graves have been identified in each. According to archaeologists, the Sarmatians, being of a theistic religious view, were buried with their tools, as well as their belongings and weapons. The burial mounds "Karakuduk-1" and "Karakuduk-2" are located 9.7 kilometers northwest of the village of Karabau. During the study of the double burial mound, silver pictograms (images of saiga antelope and wolf), jewelry, household items, iron and bronze weapons, etc. were found. Two touchstones with gold handles, which have never been found in our country, were found in the "Karakuduk-2" burial mound. In the past, the Sarmatians used this stone to determine the purity, that is, the quality, of gold. Currently, such stones are used by those who buy gold. I would also like to mention that gold labels worn on human clothing were found in burial sites. Their weight starts from 2 grams. The heaviest gold ornament is a bracelet with a mountain leopard on both sides. Its weight is about 370 grams, - said Galamat Bazarbayev, head of the archaeological and scientific research support department of the Atyrau Regional Museum of History and Local Lore.20 workers and 5 museum employees participated in the excavations. Anthropologists were invited from Astana and Almaty. As a result of general exploration work, the mounds near the village of Karabau were discovered in 2005. According to archaeologists, there are currently about 500 Sarmat mounds in the Atyrau region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/atyrau/press/news/details/925518

The JOLTAP project, which allows unemployed city residents to find a “shovel in both hands” and improve their financial situation, is ongoing in the capital. So far, more than 9 thousand residents of the capital have improved their qualifications and found jobs, the official website of the Astana akimat reports.Training programs based on the project are designed based on the demands of the labor market. For example, the basics of furniture making can be studied for free through the project. Those who master this skill will learn how to make and assemble furniture. This is because the demand for custom-made furniture is growing in today's labor market.The course “Basics of Case Furniture Making” in the JOLTAP project is conducted by Marat Bazarbekov. The teacher, who has 6 years of experience in this field, says that he came to the project by chance.“Like other furniture makers, I first made a wardrobe for my own home. After seeing the result, I decided to do this professionally. So I got a job in one of the furniture shops in the capital. There I learned the basics of assembly and installation, and additionally studied the information available on the Internet related to this industry. After making furniture, I applied to participate in the “Targetologist” course at the JOLTAP project to learn how to sell it effectively. Since I was conducting furniture-making courses at that time, I asked if the project had a furniture-making course. I then expressed my offer and thus became a teacher of the newly opened course,” says Marat Bazarbekov.According to the course teacher, participants will get acquainted with the technology of making cabinet furniture in detail in 8 days.“Those who choose this course will get acquainted with the technology of making furniture for 6 days, and will learn how to practically measure furniture and draw its design. On the seventh day, students will take an exam on the knowledge they have gained. And on the last day, they will make furniture in my workshop and take it with them as a gift on behalf of the JOLTAP project,” he says.According to Marat Bazarbekov, designers and furniture assemblers also come to this course to improve their skills.“As I have noticed, there are designers and furniture assemblers among the students who came to the course. They aim to improve their skills in this area and increase their income. There is a shortage of furniture makers in our country, which is why they do not have time to fulfill orders on time. And I want every Kazakhstani to receive quality furniture. Therefore, I would like to train furniture makers within the framework of the project and provide qualified craftsmen to the market,” he says.It should be noted that the JOLTAP short-term training program is available to residents of Astana aged 18-50. After training, participants will be awarded a certificate. And the candidates of graduates will be advertised for free in the JUMYS TAP Telegram-bot.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/924906

Systematic work is being carried out in Astana against domestic violence. In 2024, significant progress was achieved thanks to new legislative measures, the introduction of technologies and the active involvement of social services. This work was described in detail at a briefing by the prosecutor of the Department for Supervision of the Legality of Pre-Trial Investigation and Criminal Prosecution Erasyl Zhumakanov and the head of the Department for the Protection of Women from Violence of the Astana City Police Department Gulmira Shrahmetova, the official website of the city administration reports.In 2024, a new law on combating domestic violence came into force. The list of criminally punishable acts included intentional infliction of minor harm to health (Article 108-1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan) and assault (Article 109-1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan). These measures are aimed at strengthening the protection of women and children from aggressors.Since the law came into force on June 16, 2024, 1,184 criminal offenses have been registered in Astana. Of these, 676 cases involved intentional minor harm to health, 238 of which were in the family and domestic sphere. Another 508 cases involved violence, 39 of which were registered in domestic conflicts.The judicial system is actively considering such cases: by the end of the year, 142 cases were sent to court, of which 83 people were sentenced.In 2024, new methods of combating domestic violence will be introduced in Astana. One of them is the “ODARA” project, which is designed to assess the risk of repeated violence.The project is being implemented jointly with non-governmental organizations. Police officers conducted more than 15 thousand surveys among people prone to violence. As a result, 106 people with a high risk of relapse were identified and provided with assistance by state bodies and NGOs. The main reasons for violent acts were alcohol consumption (4,496 cases), jealousy (939 cases), and social instability (1,360 cases).As part of the “Digital Police” project, local inspectors are equipped with video recorders, which allow them to immediately record incidents and prevent attempts to conceal offenses.Law enforcement agencies, together with social services, pay attention to the protection of victims of violence. 384 people in need of protection were placed in crisis centers. In addition, more than 1,200 women and children were provided with psychological support and legal assistance.An important part of prevention was active interaction with city residents and municipal services. Law enforcement agencies are urged to report cases of domestic violence to law enforcement agencies for immediate action.Video calls via social messengers have been introduced to monitor potential offenders, which will allow for remote monitoring of the situation in families.To assess and prevent the recurrence of violence, the "ODARA" program is planned to be expanded to all districts of the capital by 2025. It is also planned to open specialized correctional centers where aggressors can correct their psychological and social behavior. Cooperation with non-governmental organizations will also be strengthened to provide comprehensive support to victims.One of the main areas will be working with families in difficult life situations, as well as strengthening control over the sale of alcohol at night, which should reduce the number of domestic conflicts.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/925108
