'''Lira Baysetova''' is the former editor of the weekly ''[[Respublika (Kazakh newspaper)|Respublika]]'' newspaper of [[Kazakhstan]].

In late May 2002, she found that her 25-year-old daughter [[Leyla Baysetova]] had mysteriously disappeared. [[Reporters Without Borders]] reported that, during the previous week, the editor had been the subject of specific threats following an interview she had conducted with Geneva general prosecutor, [[Bernard Bertossa]] (on 10 May 2002) concerning the [[Swiss bank account]]s of several top Kazakh officials, including President [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]].

A week later, the headless body of a dog was found hanging over the entrance of the offices of another opposition newspaper ([[Soldat (newspaper)|''Soldat'']]), which was set to publish Baysetova's interview with Bertossa. On 22 May (the day the interview was published), unidentified men attacked ''Soldat'''s premises, beating up two employees, stealing computers and smashing equipment. The same day, the offices of ''Respublika'' in [[Almaty]] burned down after [[Molotov cocktail]]s were thrown into the building. On 16 June, a man claiming to be from the Interior Ministry told Baysetova that her daughter had been arrested for possession of [[heroin]] and had subsequently fallen ill. She was not allowed to see her daughter until June 21 when she was informed that she was dead.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ifex.org/en/content/view/full/16805 |title=Editor's daughter killed in mysterious circumstances |publisher=IFEX |date= |accessdate=2010-01-23}}</ref> The circumstances of the case (and particularly Leyla Baysetova's death) remain disputed. The local police authorities claim that she was a drug addict who hanged herself with her jeans in a moment of temporary insanity. However, Kazakh television have questioned the police's findings, stating that no attempts was made to analyze the deceased's blood to determine if she had indeed taken drugs and that no jeans were presented as evidence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.templetonthorp.com/ru/report27 |title=Templeton Thorp Business Intelligence Report 27 |publisher=Templetonthorp.com |date= |accessdate=2010-01-23}}</ref>

On October 3, 2002 [[Canadian Journalists for Free Expression]] (CJFE) awarded an International Press Freedom Award to Baysetova.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cjfe.org/releases/2002/winners-oct03.html |title=CJFE Press Freedom Winners Announced |publisher=Cjfe.org |date=2002-10-03 |accessdate=2010-01-23}}</ref>

{{unsourced|date=January 2009}}
'''Azat Mashurovich Mashurov''' ({{lang-ru|Азат Машурович Машуров}}, March 27, 1940 – April 15, 2000) was a prominent public figure in [[Kazakhstan]]'s [[Uyghur people|Uyghur]] community. He served as the First Secretary of the [[Communist Party]] of [[Alakol District]] in [[Taldykorgan]] Province from 1980-1989. He helped drastically improve Alakol's economy, bringing [[Usharal]], its administrative center, to a city status. He had to resign due to the changing political regime in Kazakhstan. He ended his public service career in his home village, Pidgim, in [[Almaty Province]], where he stayed in power until 1995 as Director of the Collective Farm. Mashurov fell victim of [[Perestroika]] that first destroyed rural agriculture. He died of a heart attack at age 60 in his home in [[Zharkent]]. In 2005, his wife, [[Durnyam Mashurova]], published the novel [http://www.shvoong.com/books/biography/1817228-life-lived-vain/ "A Life Lived Not in Vain"]({{lang-ru|Не Зря Прожитая Жизнь)}}, comprising controversial memoirs revealing true facts of his hard life.

'''Makhambet Otemisuly''' ({{lang-kk|Махамбет Өтемісұлы}} {{lang-ru|Махамбет Утемисов}} 1803 or 1804–1846, October 20) was a [[Kazakhs|Kazakh]] poet and political figure. He is best known for his activity as a leader (with friend [[Isatay Taymanuly]]) of rebellions against [[Russia]]n [[colonialism]]. This activity is believed to have resulted in his murder in 1846. His first rebellions took place against [[Zhangir-Kerey Khan]] of the [[Bukey Horde]]. Because the rebellion was badly defeated and a bounty was placed on Utemisov, he had to flee the region.

Makhambet's early education took place at a [[Russian language]] school in Orenburg. However, his poetry was more closely tied to [[Kazakh culture]] and literary tradition. The major themes of his poetry were of two types: political criticism of Russia or the khan, or more general poetry devoted to themes about human existence and life.

Zhumabay Shayakhmetov

Hessamnia:

{{No footnotes|article|date=April 2009}}
'''Zhumabay Shayakhmetovich Shayakhmetov''', ({{lang-ru|Жумабай Шаяхметов}}), (30 August 1902 – 17 October 1966) was a [[Kazakhs|Kazakh]] [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[Communist]] [[political figure]]. From 1946 through 1954, he was First Secretary of the [[Communist Party]] of the [[Kazakh SSR]].

He was born to a poor peasant family in a small village in Borisov County ([[okrug]]), which in 1924 was incorporated as one of the nine rural areas in the [[Sherbakulsky District]] of the [[Omsk Oblast]]. In 1915, he went to the two-year Kazakh-Russian school in what is now the Poltava Raion, graduating in 1917. He attended the Narimanov Institute in [[Moscow]], but did not complete his first year. In 1919, he got a job as a school teacher in a rural school, but the school closed due to the [[Russian Civil War|civil war]] and he returned to his home.

From 1919 to 1926, Shayakhmetov was the secretary of the Turkoman Rural District executive committee of the [[State Political Directorate|GPU]]. By 1923, he was already a first-rate agent, solving crimes in the [[Cherlaksky District|Cherlaksky District, Omsk Oblast]]. From 1926 to 1928, Shayakhmetov taught office management (official documentation) as the political instructor in a rural organization called "Koschi" in the [[Petropavl]] Okrug. From 1928 to 1938, he worked for the [[NKVD]], first as Deputy Department Chief for the [[North Kazakhstan Province|North Kazakhstan Oblast]], then as the Deputy Department Chief for the [[Almaty Province|Alma Ata Oblast]].

From 1938 to 1946, Shayakhmetov worked his way up from Third Secretary to First Secretary of the Central Committee of the [[Communist Party]] of the Kazakh SSR. He was the first ethnic Kazakh to hold that post.<ref>Zardykhan, Zharmukhamed (2004) "Russians in Kazakhstan and demographic change: imperial legacy and the Kazakh way of nation building" ''Asian Ethnicity'' 5(1): pp. 61–79, p. 65</ref> In March 1954, Shayakhmetov was replaced as First Secretary by [[Panteleimon Ponomarenko|Panteleimon Kondratyevich Ponomarenko]], a Russian, as part of [[Nikita Khrushchev|Khrushchev's]] post-Stalin reorganization. For about a year, well into 1955, he was the First Secretary of the [[South Kazakhstan Province|South Kazakhstan provincial]] committee of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, before he was removed from that post as well.

He served as [[Chairman of the Soviet of Nationalities]] (1950–1954).

'''Oromo''' ({{lang-ky|оромо}}, {{IPA-ky|oromo|}}) or '''Orama''' ({{lang-kk|орама}}, {{IPA-kk|u̯ʊrɑmɑ|}}) is a traditional steamed pie made in [[Central Asia]], especially among the [[Kyrgyz people|Kyrgyz]] and the [[Kazakhs]]. The name comes from a [[nominalisation]] of the word "to roll"/"to wrap", referring to how the food is made.

The [[dough]] for orama is made from [[flour]], [[water]], and [[salt]]. It is [[knead]]ed and rolled thin, and a filling is spread over it. The filling may contain [[minced]] [[potato]]es, minced [[animal fat]], and sometimes minced [[pumpkin]] or some other vegetable. The dough is then rolled around the filling in sections so as to create a long, thin [[wrap (food)|wrap]]. The wraps are laid in a circle in steamer pots and steamed.

For a Just Kazakhstan

{{Refimprove|date = November 2009}}
'''For a Just Kazakhstan''' (also known as '''For a Fair Kazakhstan''') (''Ediletti Qazaqstan Ushin'') is a political movement that was founded by the [[Communist Party of Kazakhstan]], the [[Naghyz Ak Zhol Party]] and the [[Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan]] Party as an opposition coalition to nominate a single candidate in the [[Kazakhstani presidential election, 2005|2005 presidential elections]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Democracy |first=Charles |last=Tilly |publisher =Cambridge University Press|year=2007 |ISBN =0-521-87771-7 |pages=4}}</ref>

The movement is led by [[Zharmakhan Tuyakbay]], the former speaker of the [[Majlis]] of Kazakhstan and the resigned deputy chairman of [[Fatherland (Kazakhstan)|OTAN party]]. Tuyakbay resigned from his parliamentary post after 2004 parliamentary elections citing widespread irregularities and [[election fraud]]. He joined the loose opposition bloc and became the coalition's candidate for the presidential elections. After the elections, he founded the [[Nationwide Social Democratic Party]] in September 2006.

For a Just Kazakhstan advocates democratization of the political system, election of regional governors, investigation of corruption cases involving the family of the president [[Nursultan Nazarbayev|Nazarbayev]] and the fair redistribution of national wealth.
