Nursultan Nazarbayev is a political
leader and the President of Kazakhstan. Starting his career as a laborer at
the Temirtau steel-works in Kazakhstan, he progressed as a technician,
economist to finally become an ace metallurgic. His contribution at Karaganda
Metallurgical Plant brought him great respect and proved him as a pragmatic
leader, loved and respected by all. Beginning his political journey with the
participation in the Communist Party of Soviet Union in 1962, he went on to
become the secretary of the Kazakhstan Party and finally the President of the
Republic, being honored with re-election a number of times. Having ruled
Kazakhstan since the independence of the country from the Soviet Union in
1991 along with the inception of the Commonwealth of Independent States, he
has been credited for most of the success of Kazakhstan. Being deeply
influenced by the democratic set up of the U.S. and other western allies, he
made continuous efforts to imbibe similar democratic set up in his country
too. Although defamed by many as autocratic and oppressive, his judicious
policies and approach has no wonder helped evolve his country into a
prosperous and peaceful set up.
Childhood

place till Joseph Stalin’s collectivization policy and after that they
shifted to the mountain region and became nomads.
- Sustaining the tough times of the
war and post war years, Nazarbayev childhood was burdened with poverty
and starvation. Seeing his father struggle, he was a helping hand in
whatever his father did at home and at fields for his livelihood.

War II when they returned to Chemolgan and Nazarbayey was sent for
schooling in Kaskelen where he got the hang of the Russian language.

him stand out among his fellows at school. His keen involvement in
sports made him physically strong and a master of wresting too.

sponsored scholarship. He was later sent to Ukraine and enrolled in a
vocational school of the Dnieper Metallurgical Plant in

- By the age of 20, he was self
sufficient by earning considerably well from some gravely hazardous
activities he undertook at the furnaces.
