Boss of Kazakhstan since 1984

In 1984, Nazarbayev became the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan (Chairman of the Council of Ministers), under Dinmukhamed Kunayev, the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan.[18] At the sixteenth session of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan in January 1986, Nazarbayev criticized Askar Kunayev, head of the Academy of Sciences, for not reforming his department. Dinmukhamed Kunayev, Nazarbayev's boss and Askar's brother, felt deeply angered and betrayed. Kunayev went to Moscow and demanded Nazarbayev's dismissal while Nazarbayev's supporters campaigned for Kunayev's dismissal and Nazarbayev's promotion.[citation needed]
Kunayev was ousted in 1986 and replaced by a Russian, Gennady Kolbin, who despite his office had little authority in Kazakhstan. Nazarbayev was named party leader on 22 June 1989,[18] only the second Kazakh (after Kunayev) to hold the post. He was Chairman of the Supreme Soviet (head of state) from 22 February to 24 April 1990.

An interesting article by the first US Ambassador to Kazakhstan:
https://nationalinterest.org/feature/kazakhstan-may-determine-asias-future-so-why-isnt-america-19602

The land where the slavegirls came from in Borodin's 'Prince Igor',
though this rather jolly version of their homesick song claims it's a Russian one

Kazakhstan is also where the domestic apple originated, in the foothills of those mountains in the picture I posted,
above Almaty (aka in the Russian form Alma Ata, either ways "mother of apples") They were probably spread by horses,
as they were driven westwards across the steppes and into Europe, they ate the apples and deposited the seeds -
which are improved by passing through the guts of animals, like eul's coffee beans!

When I next visit you , I will stick to tea.
 
Strangely enough, but Bach's most famous organ work was perhaps written not by him. There are discussions among musicians about the authorship of this piece. For example, read "Attribution question" in this article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toccata_and_Fugue_in_D_minor,_BWV_565

Two more of Bach's greatest works: Toccata and Fugue BWV 538 (Dorian) and Largo ma non tanto from Concerto for two violins BWV 1043.
