A modern serviceman of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is not only about uniform, formation, and duty. It is also about character, talent, and a personal story behind each individual — a person with dreams, strength of spirit, and love for the Motherland.

The units of the law enforcement troops are home to world champions, acrobats, language experts, poets, and future announcers — people who prove that the army of the 21st century unites not only weapons, but also intellect, culture, and creativity.

In 2025, the media spotlighted vivid stories of National Guard servicemen, each reflecting in its own way the modern image of the law enforcement troops.

One of them is three-time world champion in kettlebell lifting Erkebulan Keldibayev — a guardsman whom his comrades call “Kazhimukan of the 21st century.” Inspired by the feats of Kazhimukan Munaitpasov, he serves in military unit 5571 in Almaty, simultaneously strengthening his physical fitness and discipline. Through his sport-hardened strength, Erkebulan contributes daily to the security of the metropolis.

Another widely recognized serviceman of the law enforcement troops is Batyrkhan Sagidolla, a soldier of the capital’s brigade. During preparations for the military parade, the media repeatedly wrote about the soldier with a strong, announcer-style voice who dreams of one day announcing the country’s main ceremonial event — the Victory Parade. His story resonated strongly with the public, showing that behind the drill step stands a personality with a great dream.

Special attention is also deserved by the acrobats who joined the ranks of the guardsmen of military unit 6506 — Arman Kairbayev and Azizbek Kalmaganbetov. Their professional physical training, endurance, and teamwork became an example for their fellow servicemen. They traded the circus arena for the parade ground, and their stage partnership grew into true combat brotherhood. Artists of the “Balausa” circus, now standing in military formation, not only patrol the streets of Shymkent but also motivate other servicemen through their attitude toward service, training, and mutual support.

Serving alongside them was guardsman Zhuldyzbek Romashev, who knows dozens of Abai’s poems by heart. On the eve of Abai Day, he actively distinguished himself by participating in thematic events and poetry evenings. His performances reminded everyone that service to the Motherland begins not only with discipline, but also with spiritual values.

Private Vladimir Kopylov of military unit 5571 is fluent in five Turkic languages and several rare dialects. This helps him find common ground with citizens of different nationalities while ensuring public order on the streets of Almaty. In addition, Vladimir regularly documents army events and contributes to shaping a positive image of his unit.

These stories are vivid proof that today the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a forge of talent, where strong, educated, and versatile individuals serve — people who not only safeguard public order, but also inspire by their example.
