Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev was born on July 6, 1940, in the village of Chemolgan, Almaty Region. After reading an announcement in the newspaper Leninskaya Smena about a Komsomol recruitment campaign, he decided to go to Temirtau to take part in the construction of the Kazakhstan Magnitka. In November of the same year, by decision of the Government of the Kazakh SSR, Nursultan Abishevich, as part of a group of young men of indigenous nationality, was sent to study in Dneprodzerzhinsk, Ukraine. It was in this city that one of the best technical vocational schools in the USSR was located, where blast furnace operators, crane operators, and welders for open-hearth furnaces were trained.
Having passed his final exams with excellent results and obtained the qualification of a blast furnace operator of the 8th grade, Nursultan Nazarbayev returned to Temirtau in 1960 to work at the Karaganda Metallurgical Plant. Two years later, he continued his education, becoming first a student of the Karaganda Polytechnic Institute, and later of the evening department of the plant-based higher technical educational institution (VTUZ), which he graduated from in 1967 with a degree in Ferrous Metallurgy. Nursultan Abishevich successfully combined his higher education studies with work and active public activity.
Later, his career moved into the party and state sphere: he held various positions in Komsomol and party structures, including in Temirtau and the Karaganda Region, and subsequently became one of the leaders of the region.
Since 1990, he held the highest state positions, and in 1991 became the First President of independent Kazakhstan. He remained in this position until 2019, playing a key role in the formation of the state system, economic reforms, and foreign policy of the country.
