Preparation for the victory parade — It not only shows the strength of the national army, but also a sign of deep respect for our past. Every fifth Kazakh went to the front, and every second Kazakh did not return from the war. Nine out of 10 bullets were cast from Kazakhstani lead. 1.5 thousand wagons of clothes and food were sent to the front. This is history, it is forever in our memory.
