The Ministry of Culture and Information of Kazakhstan launched a portal batyrlargatagzym.kzwhere information about Kazakh WWII veterans is collected, reports Liter.kz.
The main goal of the project is to provide each hero with well-deserved recognition in history.
The site has collected information from various sources and is an eternal monument to the feat of the people of Kazakhstan. The pilot was in 2023 and received a lot of interest from civil society and volunteers. The functionality was expanded, and the data was systematized into a full-fledged portal.
Today, the portal contains information about more than 100 thousand Kazakh veterans. We hope that by the 80th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War, the portal will unite data on all veterans. We invite every citizen of Kazakhstan to contribute to the project by adding information about veterans. Everyone can help the project supplement the site by donating preserved documents from personal family archives for copying. These could be photographs, documents, letters from the front and other materials,” said Minister of Culture and Information Aida Balaeva.
The portal is the result of the overall joint work of the Ministry of Culture and Information, State Archives, Ministry of Defense, volunteers and civil society.
