Cultural and historical Ust-Kamenogorsk: traditions and modernity

Abstract

In the modern realities of independent Kazakhstan, local history research is of considerable interest in theoretical and practical terms. The topic is particularly relevant to the adopted State Program "Rukhani Zhangyru", which states that in order to develop the spiritual and educational sphere, it is necessary to recreate and research significant historical, cultural and architectural monuments of particular importance for the study of the region.  This article presents the history of regional museums, the stages of formation, development and activities of the museums of the Ulba Metallurgical Plant and the Department of Emergency Situations. The role of these museums in the objective study of the historical and cultural appearance of the native city and in the formation of feelings of love and respect among students for the "small homeland" is shown.
