A small mining town, an ordinary inconspicuous city, of which there are a lot in the post-Soviet space. Gradually, it seems to be developing, something is opening, something is closing. The question of how long he will stay in a more or less lively form will be answered only by the work of the mines.
Housing is disproportionately expensive, in the same Karaganda you can buy for the same prices, only Karaganda is a regional center and a larger city.
There is a small "park" located near the akimat and in the area of 30 blocks.
There is nowhere to go, of course there is a cafe, but to put it mildly, there is nothing for young people to do, and it is easier to go to Karaganda, which is 40-50 km away (an hour by bus)
In general, it's an ordinary post-Soviet town.
Not to say that it is terrible, not to say that it is beautiful. Their- and their +.
I hope I didn't offend anyone with my opinion and vision.
A small, cozy store. The choice of products is not bad enough. There are also a few SMS products. Polite sellers who remember the buyer and his favorite purchases.
It's a nice city, cozy. In principle, it is not large, it is well organized, but it is undesirable for investors to be here, in principle, near the dolinka and the Karlag museum and two zones, a great city
