The action, timed to the Day of State Symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the 20th anniversary of Astana, held with the participation of the Department of Domestic Politics of Temirtau, was held in several public places of the city. Students of the Karaganda State Industrial University performed the anthem of their native country.

Day of state symbols is celebrated in Kazakhstan on June 4. State symbols – flag, emblem and anthem – are the unshakable foundations of the state. The national anthem from January 2006 is the song “My Kazakhstan” (“Menin Kazakstanym “).

Students KSIU – young patriots – by their example wanted to “charge” people of Temirtau. Separated into several groups, they began to move towards each other, with a feeling of singing the anthem and putting their right hand to the heart.

– For us, participation in this action is a big responsibility. We feel proud when singing the anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan, “says Karibzhan Madiyar, the chairman of the Committee for Youth of KSIU, a student of the group” MS-15-k “. “We are the face and future of our state.” We call representatives of all generations, especially young people, always respect national values ​​- language, religion, traditions and, of course, state symbols.

On May 30, the City Historical and Local Lore Museum hosted the dialogue platform “The Tumbled World: Archive Documents Speak”, dedicated to the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions. Students of KSIU took an active part in the event.

The participants of the dialogue platform demonstrated unique documents with the names of all people of Temirtau  who were subjected to repression and many years later rehabilitated. Previously, no one kept such statistics, so the museum staff had to collect information by bit through the National Security Committee. In a unique list of 189 family names – 42 people were sentenced to be shot (their names were crossed out in red), the rest stayed in Stalin’s camps from 15 to 25 years.

For a small village of Samarkand, from which the city of Temirtau started, the figure 189 is huge. The names of the repressed were consigned to oblivion. So far information about these people is only contained in short dry archival records. The lists have never been published anywhere, so the museum staff suggested that students of the KSIU organize a search circle, with which it would be possible to find at least some information about these people and their loved ones.

A number of issues were voiced within the framework of the dialogue platform, among them:

– Does it make sense after decades of repression to raise and publish archival documents relating to the era of totalitarianism?

– Is it possible to justify repressive measures? the forces of prisoners built many industrial facilities – so maybe the end justifies the means?

– What is the reason for the mass retaliation and the use of capital punishment?

– How are the Stalinist repressions and the ethnic composition of the population in Kazakhstan connected?

– for what kind of actions for you in the years 1937-38 you could have been convicted?

– would you tell us about Stalin’s repressions to your relatives? Is there any repressed in your family?

The students of KSIU took an active part in the discussion and noted the importance of this topic. Representatives of different nationalities Zemfira Atakulova, Saveliy Elefteriadi and Leonid Kim told about the history of their ancestors repressed and relocated to Kazakhstan.

Head of Department of “Kazakh, Russian and foreign languages” N.A. Abdikarim has taken in the library of the University of two new textbook.

One of them – “Til bilimine kirispe” (“introduction to linguistics”). The book very interesting and useful. Earlier with scientific point of view of the language of considered as a means of communication. Years 20-30 ago, when we get higher education, opinions and proceedings of the Western linguists were inaccessible.

Now the direction of learning changed, and in the study language appeared multidimensional approaches – says Nurziya Abdikarimovna. – In this tutorial are very important, the dates and science-based topics that are considered by comparisons and comparisons. Here is not only considered theoretical questions, but there is materials with practical use, such as interesting section “grammar learning.”

The second tutorial, particularly interested in N.A. Abdikarim, – “Til zhane madenietaralyk communicacia” (“language and intercultural communication”). This topic is today, when there is a globalization and implementation of multilingual model of education, important than ever. –

if a person allows for some grammatical errors, then, in the opinion of scientists, it is excusably – is perceived as individual error – continues to Nurzia Abdikarimovna. – But when we are talking about the cultural issues to be in them uninformed completely unacceptable. When in communication allowed errors due to the ignorance of culture, people perceive it as an insult his people. Therefore, in first of all we all have to own knowledge on intercultural communication.

Philosophianyn kyskasha tarihy” are available with historical events, key definitions, as well as biographies 15 thinkers, including – Descartes, Kant, Spinoza, Marx, Wittgenstein and many others. Knowledge obtained when reading this book, have a great value and personally for me – I rise level and the quality of their knowledge of philosophy that is useful to me at admission in doctorate, what I am now hard preparе.

68-year-old Zhetpisbes Akhmetov also powered by the Department of “the history of Kazakhstan and social and humanitarian discipline” – teaches philosophy on Kazakh language. Book to read choose the appropriate – the first is “Antica philosophiasy» (“antique philosophy”).

– I have a great opportunity to compare the views of Kazakhstan, Russian and foreign philosophers, which are considered best lecturers Western Europe, – says Zhetpisbes Ahmetovich. – In the new textbook very detail, and indicating the reference to primary sources, described school of different philosophers ancient period, the Pythagorean, Plato and Aristotle to Dam and Augustyn, their views on the life. Interested in sections dedicated to religious philosophy, metaphysics, logic, knowledge of the world.

At the teachers of KSIU before the start a new school year is the time of the fact that the study new textbooks, then they will begin to use them in their work. In addition to the print versions of books for all who want to be free available their electronic analogues.
