A bit of history
Ust-Kamenogorsk is a city located in the eastern part of Kazakhstan. At the moment, about 320,000 people live in the city, where about 28% are the Kazakh population, and 67% are Russian-speaking citizens.
In 1720, Peter I sent researchers on an expedition led by I. M. Likharev. When the whole team of travelers approached Lake Zaisan, they were attacked by a detachment of Dzhungars. Despite the fact that the enemy was defeated, the researchers could not continue their journey, because the shallow Irtysh River did not allow them to cross the border. Then military reinforcements were sent to this place, to the mouth of two rivers - Ulba and Irtysh. The construction of a fortress began with the forces of the Russian army, which turned into the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk.
