Round table. State symbols of the CIS countries
On October 19, 2023, the Center for Russian Language and Culture hosted a round table talk on the topic "State symbols of the CIS countries", dedicated to the Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the Philological Faculty of al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
On October 25, 1990, the Declaration on the State Sovereignty of Kazakhstan was adopted. This document became the political and legal basis for the Independence of the Republic. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said in one of his speeches: "Republic Day embodies the revival of the centuries-old traditions of the statehood of Kazakh people. On this day, the dream of our ancestors who fought for our independence became a reality." It was not only a memorable event, but also a wonderful opportunity for the representatives from Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to share their symbols and cultural heritage. Indira Zhanalina, the 1st year PhD student of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, presented the state symbols of Kazakhstan and told about the stages of sovereignty formation. Svetlana Ivanova, the PhD student of Udmurt State University, made a presentation about the symbols of the Russian Federation. Great interest was also aroused by the report made by Umida Amurova, the 1st-year Master’s degree student of al-Farabi Kazakh National University, about the Republic of Uzbekistan. She shared the information about the peculiarities, cultural wealth and historical heritage of her country. Also the event program included the report about Turkmenistan made the 2nd year students of the Department of Russian Philology and World Literature. Saule Bayazovna, professor of the Department and head of the Center "Russian Language and Culture" ended the event having emphasized that such events play an important role in strengthening friendly and firm relations and mutual understanding between countries.
