Almaty, also known by its former names Verny and
Alma-Ata, is the former capital of Kazakhstan and
the nation’s largest city, with a population of
1,404,000 (2010). This represents approximately
9% of the population of the country.
Almaty was the capital of the Kazakh SSR and its
successor Kazakhstan from 1929 to 1997. Despite
losing its status as the capital to Astana in 1997,
Almaty remains the major commercial center of
Kazakhstan. The city is located in a mountaineous
area of southern Kazakhstan, near the border with
Kyrgyzstan.
The word “Almaty” in Kazakh people language
means “grown with apple trees”. The first Kazakh
scholar Chokan Valikhanov observed: “Almaty city
was known for its trade and was a trading post on
a high road.” Apples were no doubt one of the
important commodities. Anyway, Alma-Ata city
has been famous for them to this day.
Almaty is located in an area of extensive geologic
risk, being subject to both earthquakes and
mudslides. Almaty city suffered from severe
earthquakes in 1887 and 1911, and a mudflow
down the Malaya Almaatinka in 1921 caused
considerable destruction and loss of life.
To reduce the risks of future mudslides, an artificial
landslide was precipitated by explosives in 1966
to dam nearby Medeo gorge. The 330-foot dam
that resulted proved its worth in 1973 by holding
back a potentially catastrophic mudslide. Later
improvements have raised the dam to 460 feet and
further improved the security of Almaty.
Almaty houses Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences
and its many subordinate research institutes,
numerous museums, an opera house, theaters
producing in Russian, Kazakh and Uighur, and
Pushkin State Public Library.
Almaty also has a botanical garden, a zoo, several
stadiums, and the permanent Kazakhstan
Exhibition of Economic Achievements.
Today Almaty city extends about 12.5 miles (20
km) in all directions from its center and is
considered one of the most beautiful cities of
Kazakhstan, with regular planning, wide, treelined streets, numerous parks and orchards, and a
backdrop of mountains.
Mount Kok-Tyubeh offers a picturesque
panorama of Almaty. Far below the residential
districts can be seen buried in verdure. At the
foot of the mountain to the north stretches a
plain, and to the south, just a stone’s throw away,
so it seems, are snowcapped mountains rising as
high as five kilometers.
The former Ascension Cathedral of Almaty city,
built in 1907 and the second highest wooden
building in the world, now houses a museum. Of
the population of Almaty city, Russians make up
about 60 percent, with the remainder made up
chiefly of Kazakh (less than one-quarter),
Ukrainian, Uighur, Tatar, and German minorities.
Almaty city is a major cultural center. Besides
Abai Kazakh Academic Opera and Ballet
Theater, which is the pride of national musical
culture, Almaty has a drama theater named after
Kazakh writer Mukhtar Auezov (1897-1961).
Almaty city also has a Russian, an Uigur and
several Korean theaters and a number of other
troupes.
Today in Almaty city there are 16 higher
education establishments, including a university,
and dozens of general education and technical
secondary schools and vocational schools.
