On the eve of the main sporting event of the quadrennial year-the London Olympics-let's remember the achievements of Kazakhstani athletes at the Olympic games of our time.
Participation of Kazakhstani athletes in the Olympic games of our time should be divided into two parts – first as part of the USSR national team, and then, after independence, as part of the national team under its national flag.
However, first I want to warn readers – here you will see some discrepancies with the generally accepted data. For example, it is believed that for the first time Kazakhstan took part in the Olympics in 1956, in my opinion – in 1952 (then, by the way, the first medal was won, and not in 1960, as it is believed).
The first Olympic champion-Kazakh in official sources is called the wrestler Zhaksylyk USHKEMPIROV (1980), although in fact this is Alzhan ZHARMUKHAMEDOV (1972). Without detracting from the merits of our outstanding athlete, we just note that Ushkempirov is indeed the first Kazakh Olympic champion who represented Kazakhstan directly. And Kazakh Zharmukhamedov, who became the champion of the Munich Olympics in the Soviet basketball team, then lived in Moscow and played for CSKA. Then we all lived in a single state called the USSR, and it often happened that the best athletes, and not only from Kazakhstan, played for other Union republics. However, in order
Nowadays a modern man in Russia has more rights than in the former Soviet Union.Russian Federation is a democratic Republic and people are free to say anything they want in it. They won’t be punished for that and it was many years ago when the communists were at the power.Of course it is not easy to have the right democracy.For many years people had been afraid to say the wrong word or to be active as far as business went. But now they are permitted to do nearly everything and some still cannot understand liberty right. There is such a category of people who are still afraid of everything new, they don’t understand democracy, and they used to live under the communist regime.But there are such who are too free from all they also forget about their duties. A modern person can show his own initiative, have his own business, much private.Property, travel abroad whenever and wherever he wants, he can work for himself, pay the necessary taxes and enjoy life.And that’s what I like and appreciate most of all.Перевод текста: Rights of a modern man and societyВ настоящее время современный человек в России имеет больше прав чем в прежнем Советском Союзе.Российская Федерация - демократическая республика, и люди свободны сказать что - нибудь, что они хотят в этом. Они не будут наказаны за это, и было много лет назад, когда коммунисты были во власти.Конечно не легко иметь правильную демократию.Много лет люди боялись говорить неправильное слово или быть активными, насколько бизнес пошел. Но теперь им разрешают сделать почти все, и некоторые все еще не могут понимать право свободы. Есть такая категория людей, которые все еще боятся всего нового, они не понимают демократию, и они имели обыкновение жить под коммунистическим режимом.Но есть такой, кто слишком свободен от всего, что они также забывают об их обязанностях. Современный человек может проявить его собственную иницитиву, иметь его собственный бизнес, очень частный.Собственность, путешествие за границей всякий раз, когда и везде, где он хочет, он может работать для себя, платить необходимые налоги и наслаждаться жизнью. И это - то, что я люблю и оцениваю больше всего.
