From an on-line posting: "This formerly nomadic country that sprawls nearly 2 000 miles across the middle of Central Asia is rich in culture tradition and spirituality that dates back thousands of years. Until recently it was little known outside the region because it lost much of its identity and heritage under the 70-year domination by the Soviet Union and before that the Russian Empire. Since independence in 1991 Kazakhstan is reestablishing its own identity and making itself felt in world politics and the global marketplace. Kazakhs who had been taught under the Soviet system that their nomadic heritage was essentially worthless are rediscovering their roots and an inherent richness that many of that generation had not known existed."
