Olympic games and Kazakhstan

Taufik KARIMOV, a political analyst
On the eve of the main sporting event of the quadrennial year-the London Olympics-let's remember the achievements of Kazakhstani athletes at the Olympic games of our time.
Participation of Kazakhstani athletes in the Olympic games of our time should be divided into two parts – first as part of the USSR national team, and then, after independence, as part of the national team under its national flag.
However, first I want to warn readers – here you will see some discrepancies with the generally accepted data. For example, it is believed that for the first time Kazakhstan took part in the Olympics in 1956, in my opinion – in 1952 (then, by the way, the first medal was won, and not in 1960, as it is believed).
The first Olympic champion-Kazakh in official sources is called the wrestler Zhaksylyk USHKEMPIROV (1980), although in fact this is Alzhan ZHARMUKHAMEDOV (1972). Without detracting from the merits of our outstanding athlete, we just note that Ushkempirov is indeed the first Kazakh Olympic champion who represented Kazakhstan directly. And Kazakh Zharmukhamedov, who became the champion of the Munich Olympics in the Soviet basketball team, then lived in Moscow and played for CSKA. Then we all lived in a single state called the USSR, and it often happened that the best athletes, and not only from Kazakhstan, played for other Union republics. However, in order
Lyubertsy was first mentioned in 1621. Then there were only 9 yards in the village. Initially, the name was double - Libertsy - Nazarovo, according to the surnames of families living in nine courtyards. Subsequently, Ivan Gryazev became the owner of the entire village. He achieved special rights for his settlement, which led to the growth of the village, he built a church, but it was destroyed in the 30s of the XX century.
When Gryazev was gone, Lyubertsy changed hands. A powerful impetus to the development of the city was given by the railway track that appeared in the city. This road connected Moscow and Ryazan. In 1875, the first men's boarding school was opened, and later a women's school appeared. But only in 1925 Lyubertsy was given the status of a city.
Now 200 thousand people live in the city. There are several neighborhoods in the city that have their own names. The historical center of Krasnaya Gorka is located in the north of the city. New residential areas are being built around the city.
There are 25 factories operating in the city. Mainly metalworking and mechanical engineering. Because of the work of these enterprises, the city is considered the dirtiest in the Moscow region. But the city has its own attractions and interesting facts. Astronomers named an asteroid after the city. In 2011, a copy of the monument to Yuri Gagarin was installed in Britain.
As for the sights, they are also in the city. These include St. Nicholas Church. It was built in the XVII century. A lot of triangular shapes are used in architecture. In 1970, restoration took place, but the original appearance was not affected. The Peter and Paul Church, built in 1805, also belongs to religious attractions. To date, it has been restored and is working, services are underway in it. It is located not far from the forest, on a hill. There is a walking area near the temple.
The largest park in the city of Tomilinsky. It is a clean zone where locals recover after a hard working week. There are one hundred kinds of trees and more than one hundred and thirty kinds of herbs growing in it. The forest park was declared a natural monument.
There is a monument to Yuri Gagarin in the city. The name of this man is familiar to everyone. Lyubertsy are proud of their countryman, who made the first human flight into space.
Перевод:
Люберцы впервые упоминаются в 1621 году. Тогда в деревне было всего 9 дворов. Изначально название было двойное - Либерцы - Назарово, по фамилиям семей, проживающих в девяти дворах. Впоследствии Иван Грязев стал владельцем всей деревни. Он добился особых прав для своего поселения, что привело к росту деревни, он построил церковь, но она была разрушена в 30-х годах XX века.
Когда Грязева не стало, Люберцы перешли из рук в руки. Мощный импульс развитию города придала появившаяся в городе железнодорожная колея. Эта дорога соединяла Москву и Рязань. В 1875 году была открыта первая мужская школа-интернат, а позже появилась женская школа. Но только в 1925 году Люберцам был присвоен статус города.
Сейчас в городе проживает 200 тысяч человек. В городе есть несколько районов, которые имеют свои собственные названия. Исторический центр Красной Горки расположен на севере города. Вокруг города строятся новые жилые районы.
В городе работает 25 заводов. В основном металлообработка и машиностроение. Из-за работы этих предприятий город считается самым грязным в Московской области. Но в городе есть свои достопримечательности и интересные факты. Астрономы назвали астероид в честь города. В 2011 году в Великобритании была установлена копия памятника Юрию Гагарину.
Что касается достопримечательностей, то они тоже есть в городе. К ним относится церковь Святого Николая. Он был построен в XVII веке. В архитектуре используется множество треугольных форм. В 1970 году была проведена реставрация, но первоначальный внешний вид не пострадал. Церковь Петра и Павла, построенная в 1805 году, также относится к религиозным достопримечательностям. На сегодняшний день он восстановлен и работает, в нем ведутся работы. Он расположен недалеко от леса, на холме. Рядом с храмом есть прогулочная зона.
Самый большой парк в городе Томилинский. Это чистая зона, где местные жители восстанавливаются после тяжелой рабочей недели. В нем растет сто видов деревьев и более ста тридцати видов трав. Лесопарк был объявлен памятником природы.
В городе есть памятник Юрию Гагарину. Имя этого человека знакомо каждому. Люберцы гордятся своим земляком, совершившим первый полет человека в космос.
