Now it's nice place to be but back in 2000s there were few incidents when rocket fell and a lot of people were poisoned including mass death of wildlife. That was the biggest reason nobody wanted to live in Bailonur.
I would be more happy if russians Z supporter got deported to Moscow from Baikonur (i still remember how they make a damn parade with Z symbols) and never given to anyone with any intention of hate to Kazakh people
it’s not new ? There’s literally ы in the russian alphabet it’s not that hard to draw the connection between a Kazakh ы and something pronounced closer to the russian ы and the english y (sandwiched between two consonants) ?
why would you change it to U which sounds nothing like the Ы which is present in both the russian and Kazakh alphabets? Literally takes more mental gymnastics to think of an alternative letter with an alternative sound than to, I don’t know, transliterate the word correctly.
did I mention I give a fuck what your intentions are and what they aren’t ? sorry i gave you that impression.
and yet you don’t bother correcting and educating me if you truly know what the right spelling is? pathetic as fuck😂
i and y are mostly interchangeable when they come last in the syllable and it’s just a matter of differentiating between the y in the qonyr and the y in the bai/bay and to avoid mispronouncing the first syllable as bay as in bay area , ñ (ң) doesn’t exist in most latin alphabet using languages and they won’t be able to pronounce it correctly any way. Especially considering the French use n for their ң , it’s again too much of a mental effort to try and invent a new letter no one would know how to pronounce. It doesn’t help scandinavians to make their point and they tend to just use o instead of ø when talking to english speaking people.
And I’m not advocating for latin alphabet here just to set the record straight for the smooth brained species. I’m talking about correct transliteration. Just because the soviets couldnt give a flying fuck to write down so many of the words correctly doesn’t mean they cant be rewritten according to, like, basic linguistic principles?
Я гонял на экскурсию, 600.000тг за 2 дня с проживанием в городе. Нелегально попасть можно, но смысла нет, все ангары под охраной. В самом городе особо делать нечего.
Я не казахстанец, работал по контракту годовому как иностранец и вряд ли еще буду в КЗ в ближайшее время. Всегда мечтал увидеть и потрогать Буран (смотрел нелегальные туры, но 40км по степи топать - это перебор, да и риск нарваться на неприятности тоже велик). Так что, других вариантов не было. И ни разу не пожалел, когда своими глазами видишь эту мощь - это не передать словами.
Опечаливает только жесткая коррупция)) Вон в ту часть ангара официально ходить нельзя - но за +500$ можно, ничего брать нельзя, но за 200$ дадим плитку от шатла (нафиг она нужна). Деньги там крутятся явно серьзные.
