Icy Attitude of NCOC

In the light of the latest scandals connected with ignoring by the oil companies of ecological requirements (see WKT #19 dd. 18.10.1012, “Dark Waters from Inferno”) I am constantly surprised, how, at times, in a care-free manner foreign and national managers approach serious matters. Although I suspect that, in actual fact, they perfectly realize all bottlenecks in the projects, but, still they make a poker face. November 23 2012, 09:50 2 754 views

The Old Man and the Steppe

The new film called “The Old Man” (originally titled “Shal”) done by a Kazakh producer and screenwriter Ermek Tursunov has been released. This is his second film. His scandalous first film “Kelin” (The Daughter-in-Law) caused such a difference of opinions, primarily negative, that I thought Borat saga was continuing. Critics were indignant by saying that it diminishes Kazakhs. November 22 2012, 19:26 7 390 views

Maestro Ayukhanov on his pointes

Snug black jeans, a thin pullover, a white scarf elegantly thrown behind his back that seems manageable even outdoors, white, as wax, his face, and tinted black cropped hair. Personally, I remember Bulat AYUKHANOV like this for all my life. I could never find right words to describe how I perceive the maestro when I see him on TV.
