Kazakhstan changed the name of its capital city last year - but it wasn't the first time.
In case you missed it! New article about some old news.
Lenin status in a suburb of Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. I took this picture in the late 90′s, soon after the country decided to move its capital from Almaty, located in the South-Eastern corner of the country, to Astana, in the middle of Kazakhstan. At the time, the city of Astana was already undergoing a major facelift and the days of this statue were obviously numbered. The city has continued its transformation from a provincial city into a real, modern and proud capital city to this day. I am sure that the statue has since disappeared or has at least been displaced to an undisclosed location. In 2018, the city was renamed Nur-Sultan after former President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
