This is Astana

Astana, the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan is ten years old this year. The city's designation as capital initiated one of the most ambitious urban development projects of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This film -- THIS IS ASTANA - shows captures the unique atmosphere of a capital that rivals all the dynamism of longer-established cities like New York.

if I visited Astana how much authentic Kazakh culture would I be able to experience? Are there restaurants or cafes where traditional music is played or is it all modern influence?

[@govan44]

What a lovely city. Wide open spaces and modern. Maybe some day, I will have the chance to visit.

[@TheTickingtime]

At 6:51, the horse ... I just wonder if it's representative as the red horse. The pale Denver horse at the airport might be another of four. If so, I wonder where the other two are?

[@MrGanganagar]

Rahmet (kazakh) means Thank you! thanks for you positive view of my nation! :) I really love your Egypt history, how you r doing well now, will help in the future! I'm a student n have no idea how much is the salary they pay, but i tried to upload website, looks like youtube is blocking it, so write on google "industrial worker salary in kazakhstan" There are plenty of websites that will answer you question

[@saravata120]

It looks great! God is blessing Kazakhstan! Now, if possible, another question: how much is the average salary/month for an industrial (such as skilled as unskilled) worker?

[@bigassbuzz]

Nicolae Carpathia will love his new city.

[@user-ro8uw3my1e]

АСТАНАМ АРМАН КАЛАМ❤❤

[@elya31630]

@itchy159 because for us, for kazakh people, Nazarbayev is like Peter the first for russians or Atilla for hungarians, or like Julian Cesaer for Roman Empire...

[@elya31630]

@Heyga4Huk Mark Dacascus is visiting every year Kazakhstan, since his first visit

[@Yazanova]

right now im in astana for a visit ,the best thing is that there is alot and alot of girls! the girls are 70% ! which is awesome !

[@erbol07]

[@Anelya789]

I LOVE my country! I LOVE my KAZAKHSTAN!!!!:DDDDDDDDD

[@saravata120]

All the construction costs of the amazing city of Astana is paid from Kazakhstan` s budget or by contribution of foreign investments and hedge funds? That`s my question, expanding also for the other mentioned new cities of Kazakhstan...

[@elya31630]

@AthosAmo When you will be in Astana, go to the "Guns n Roses", in the same building of Ramstore Supermarket. My lovely place, good choice of food and beverage, and...Rock Music live!!!

[@elya31630]

@cri64italia so you want italian name for kazakh city??? :)

[@johnvonshepard9373]

A city without soul.

[@elya31630]

@ghostrecon1234567 this video is probably prepared by Ministry of Tourism & Sport to spread information around the World, Kazakhstan is trying to develop touristic sector, not only relaying on natural resources... Even we have adopted Strategic Development Program untill 2030, this is first part of development program where Kazakhstan setting up 7 priorities of development like security, political stability, social, transport & infrastructure, tourism & sport, energy and healthcare.

[@AthosAmo]

@AthosAmo KH, not CH. Sorry.

[@richarddietz6710]

Why at the end does he say this was and this is Astana. really weird and creepy.

[@hassanmabsout7948]

Definetely I thaught this is new😱

[@antisisa]

@ShAdy3KZ yes, ok :) but looks at the girl at 0:05 sec. or at the people at 4:30 sec ..they looks like japanese or chinese, aren't they ?

[@number8032]

2022 Winter Olympics in Almaty, Kazakhstan !!!

[@michaelstephen819]

I wonder why they changed the name from Akmola meaning "white cemetery" or "white grave"?

[@AlvinKTo]

because its the kazakh capital

[@michaelstephen819]

Check out "sarcasm" on Google

[@lusaka99]

astana very beutifull

[@thetonedeaftenors]

i wanna visit...kinda like Dubai in a way

[@OLGACHIMAS9]

[@pradzee123]

Why is everything about Nazarbayev. No other leaders?

[@elya31630]

@ghostrecon1234567 not all, but, Almaty, Aktau, Atyrau cities are growing fast as well, if you look in the map, you can see, how the country is huge!!! 9th in the World and you can imagine how many bln's of dollars you need to develop :) so slowly slowly my country is going forward, at least not back. Exotic place to visit, people very welcoming, open minded - this is opinions of my colleagues from the UK, US, Italy, Netherlands, Ecuador, Argentina, Indonesia, Philippines, India, etc.

[@ryanattube1]

This video is old and needs to be upgraded, many buildings are already built and many new ones appeared

[@gackjt]

Who paid to build all this??

[@jeffreyclarke736]

Kilroy was here the unborn, next 33 generations of Americans (whites mostly) and the 99%. The elite always change the game board to remain in power.

[@timberrr1126]

Probably the Rothchilds

[@Wingalaxi]

LUXURY SLEAZE GONE MAD!!

[@Heyga4Huk]

@ShAdy3KZ Is it an insult for your people to be mistaken for asian people, like Chinese or Korean? I am asian myself.

[@theInfamous3]

@PtAltmVansanTarr Nope, it was to make the majority of us believe that Kazakhstan is some kind of under developed poor ass country when in fact it's full of symbolism and stuff, shit's mind blowing

[@Optimus6128]

Looks so cool! NWO ftw!!!

[@2112iscoming]

This scares me. Who is meant to live in these indoor cities and when? Are the rest of us doomed?

[@elya31630]

@cri64italia "Astana" in kazakh language means "the Capital". This is just kazakh language ;)

[@saravata120]

From WHERE the giant funds of billions of Dollars to build the really very beautiful Astana???

[@jarkii1000]

@lynlovesnightwish Yes our country, our land is rich, because in our land much mineral resources (oil, gaz), gold & other metals. But simple people live not richly.

[@theInfamous3]

@eImalomeIIeva haha, truth.

[@Ilio0]

I really liked this video, and the whole idea about it but there is one thing that concerns me.... now I have never been in Kazakhstan, yet I do believe that much like most post-communistic countries the rest of the state is not the same and as a matter of fact is just as bad as other similar countries. If I'm wrong, please do inform me, I would like to know the truth.

[@AthosAmo]

I blame the U.S. education system for my ignorance of Kazachstan before I saw Borat (which I should never have seen)... and myself (for not bothering to learn geography).

[@serenityb17]

it is other side of Astanas beauty, let them see only preview of what we have :) Verstehst du??)

[@serenityb17]

before writing you thought with "I think..." read and review Kazakhstan

[@stupidman9774]

little new york.

[@arrotoxietak]

Too bad they don't show Astana in winter, when it's -35 outside!

[@kamzinaA]

если бы еще все города были бы такими в нашей стране, а то только астану обелывают, а другие города просто ужас!

[@slikkwon]

I desire to crimp many BNC connector here.

[@verbalswordsman]

Awesome. I hate most of this NWO just as much as the next guy. However, this is a testament to what mankind will look like when we all come together. Bill Hicks, It's just a ride!

[@MsLikeaChola]

Strange is that rest of the country doesnt look so amazing i mean this must be founded by illuminatu or sth

[@elya31630]

@Ilio0 Communistic idea in my country, in Kazakhstan is dead since 1986, when kazakhs boomed against communistic system and houndreds were troubled by Soviet Army, Police, KGB etc. Now Kazakhstan is rapidly developing, since 2002 Kazakhstan recognied as 'market economy'. Time is changing, old kazakh proverb says: '50 years and the country is new'

[@serenityb17]

Chechen za4em ty tak?

[@elya31630]

@Sunshine011s1 Have you ever been in Kazakhstan? Here in Kazakhstan lot's of people coming for business and they dont think so... You can check the education level or other ratings about Kazakhstan, it doesnt show your opinion.

[@antisisa]

@ixionike your eye isn't untrained ..the fact is that's there aren't diffence between Americans and British : )

[@Heyga4Huk]

I heard Nelly Furtrado and Elton John were in Kazakhstan, true? Borat seems like a fitting character for y'all who let that guy run your country for 30 years ;)

[@tatarqa]
