Baikonur history
On February 12, 1955, it was decided to form the Scientific-research proving ground 5 of
USSR Defense Ministry which was intended for rocket equipment testing. A considerable part of
the desert between 2 district centers (Kazalinsky and Dzhusalami) of Kzyl-Ordinskaya oblast of
Kazakhstan was allotted for the proving ground.
The construction work at the proving ground started in the second half of winter in 1955.
June 2nd, 1955, is considered the official date of Baikonur foundation. On January 29th, 1958,
the settlement which didn’t have any name and was unofficially called “Zarya” received the
name Leninsky. The settlement was planned for about 5,000 people, but due to intensive growth
of testing work on the proving ground the population was about 10,000 by the end of 1960.
On April 12, 1961, the whole world learned about the Kazakhstan steppes: it was here, from the
Baikonur cosmodrome, that the spaceship “Vostok” with a cosmonaut on board was launched
into space. Thus Yuri Gagarin, a citizen of the USSR became the first man ever to have stepped

Semipalatinsk Polygon.
Kazakhstan is a nuclear – free country, but as a heritage of the former USSR it has 3 nuclear
testing grounds. The largest one is Semipalatinsk testing ground and in the atmosphere. The
consequences of these testsshocked even cynics and the tests were carried out underground. In
all 456 tests with a total explosive power. On August 29, 1949 the first nuclear explosion in the
USSR was set off on the Semipalatinsk testing ground. Until 1963 tests were conducted mainly
on the surface r of 17420 kits were blasted in Semipalatinsk. October 19, 1989 was the last date a
test was carried out on this nuclear testing site. The ancient steppe, its way of life, numerous
animals and plants, all became hostages of the warfare of the powerful forces.
During the second half of 80-s along with other processes that took place in various spheres
of the changing society there was the surge for freedom. In 1988 an uprising with the demand to
shut down the testing site grew into the international movement “Nevada-Semey” led by the
well-known poet and public figure Olzhas Suleiman. “Nevada-Semey” movement enlightened
people and won the support and sympathy of the people all over the world.

Among the continental lakes of
the globe the
Aral Sea occupied the fourth place in the
area.
This badly affects the population of the
area, which includes several regions of
the
of the Central Asians Republics and the
Kyzyl Orda region of Kazakhstan.
6. Save the Aral Sea.
Among the continental lakes of the globe the Aral Sea occupied the fourth place in the
area. We have to stress-occupied. Today the Aral is perishing. This badly affects the population
of the area, which includes several regions of the Central Asians Republics and the Kyzyl Orda
region of Kazakhstan. In some places the Aral has moved a hundred employed from the former
coasts. The sea level has sunk 18 meters, the area has decreased more than one third, the volume
of water – 60%. The average salinity has increased two and a half times, which brought about the
death of fish – as a fishery area the sea has completely lost its importance. According to some
preliminary estimates wing lifts from the bare sea bed and scatters to a distance of 400-500 km
tens of millions of tones of caustic salts that threaten to ruin the agricultural oases for which
water is drawn.
VII. The next competition is “Questions and answers”. Ok students, if you understand our
presentations, then I will give you cards and you must answer the questions. (Cards) 7 min.
1. Where is the Aral Sea situated?

8. Why was the fishing industry completely destroyed along the Aral Sea?
9. What do you think causes the health problems of the people in the region?
10. When was the polygon built?
11. When was the polygon destroyed?
12. What was this polygon’s activity?
13. What is meant by the term ecology?
14. What is the problem of the polygons?
15 Does it badly affect the population?
16. When was the first rocket launched from Baikonur?
17. Who is the first man ever to have stepped into the expense of the universe?
18. When was population of the city was 140,000?
In some places the Aral has moved a
hundred employed from
the former coasts.
The sea level has sunk 18 meters, the
area has decreased more
than one third, the volume of water –
60%.
The average salinity has increased two
and a half times,
which brought about the death of fish – as
a fishery area the sea has completely lost
its importance.
According to some preliminary estimates
wing lifts from the bare sea bed and
scatters to a distance of 400-500 km
tens of millions of tones of caustic salts
that threaten to ruin the agricultural oases
for which water is drawn.
