Holidays in kz

Some public holidays have remained in the Republic of Kazakhstan since the Soviet Union time. These are the New Year's Day on January 1-2, the International Women's Day on March 8, and the Victory Day on May 9.
On the Victory Day many residents of the city of Almaty, among them are not only the war and labour veterans but also young people, come to lay flowers at the Eternal Flame in the park named after 28 guardsmen "Panfilovetsi", who heroically perished on November 16, 1941 near the crossing point Dubosekovo while defending the city of Moscow.
