'''Almaty-1''' is a railway station located in the city of [[Almaty]], [[Kazakhstan]], one of two principal stations in the city. Almaty-1 serves as a primary point of departure for passengers traveling both within Kazakhstan and internationally. The station was built in 1929 and completely rebuilt between 1969 and 1975.

==Design==
The exterior of the station is decorated with a mix of glass windows and aluminum panels. Within the station building, the ground floor of the station houses office spaces, while the second and third floors have facilities for relaxation and dining. The passenger platforms are located in the underground levels of the station. A [http://www.almatymadeniet.kz/en/home/pamyatniki/respublikanskogo-znacheniya/monumenty/pamyatnik-alibi-zhangildinu monument to Alibi Zhangildinu], a politician and military leader who helped to establish Soviet control in Kazakhstan, stands outside the station.

==History==
The first train to reach Almaty, an E-1441 locomotive, arrived on July 19, 1929. This train was put on permanent display at Almaty-2 station in 1974. Soon after the arrival of the railroad, Almaty-1 station was built to bring high-ranking workers and foreign guests to the republic. After the Turksib district was established, it helped bring industry to Almaty and in later years, transformed Krasnogvardeyskiy Prospekt (now named Suyunbay) into an industrial zone.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} The first suburban train, named "Gorvetka," made up of nine commodities cars and one passenger car, departed from Almaty-1 station on January 25, 1930, inaugurating the era of public transportation in Almaty. Almaty-1 served as a departure point for both industrial goods and workers. Meanwhile, intercity passenger trains arrived at Almaty-1, while suburban trains went on to [[Almaty-2 railway station|Almaty-2]]. As the production of industrial goods in the area increased, the number of industrial jobs also grew. This in turn led to significant increases in the population of nearby residential areas and consequentially, an increase of passengers at Almaty-1 station. By the late 1960s, the railway infrastructure around Almaty-1 was unable to handle the increased passenger numbers and was in need of upgrades. Construction on such a project was delayed, however, due to the authorities at the time only being allowed to build projects that cost a maximum of one million rubles.
[[File:Железнодорожная станция Алматы-1 3049775.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Platform of the station.]]
In order to spend more than this, local authorities needed to get permission from Moscow, but this would lead to oversight of the project by the central authorities. The State Secretary of Kazakh SSR [[Dinmukhamed Kunayev]] raised questions about the project during a state planning commission meeting and in meetings of the central government, which led to a series of plans being studied. Consideration was given to expanding Almaty-2 station, since Almaty-1 was located in a seismically active area. Kunayev and other authorities were against this idea, however, as it would create a strong industrial hub in the heart of the city and would require the demolition of an entire residential neighborhood. Eventually, Almaty city officials found an architect who proposed a plan for a new Almaty-1 station that would take into account the seismic issues and would increase the strength of the building. This plan was opposed by officials of the USSR State Committee in Moscow, however, who were concerned by the budget for such an expensive project, and the cost of the materials required. Permission was finally granted, with a final cost of two and a half million rubles, and construction of the new station began in the autumn of 1969. When construction was completed, the station was hailed as one of the most modern facilities in the Soviet Union, and seen as a 'ceremonial gate' to Almaty. The terminal building was dedicated on May 20, 1975, when Mustafa Kazybekova, representing the construction company Kazahtransstroy, handed over a symbolic key to the new station's first chief, Rysty Kasenova.

The building was renovated three decades later, with work completed in 2007. Currently, trains depart Almaty-1 heading (via Almaty-2) to [[Aktobe]], [[Kostanay]], [[Karaganda]], [[Pavlodar]] and [[Novosibirsk]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://dostoprim.almaty.kz/page.php?page_id=182&lang=2&article_id=637| publisher=Attractions of Almaty| title=Railway stations Almaty-1 and Almaty-2.| access-date=April 25, 2017}}</ref>

'''Mukhamedzhan Tynyshpaev''' ({{lang-kz|Мұхаметжан Тынышбайұлы}}; {{lang-ru|Мухамеджан Тынышпаев}}) (May 12, 1879 - after November 21, 1937) was a [[Kazakhs|Kazakh]] engineer, activist, and intellectual. He surveyed and engineered the railways of Russian [[Central Asia]], while also active in the young political newspapers of the region. Through his work, he became known as a political activist, [[ethnography|ethnographer]], and [[history|historian]].

==Early life and education==
Tynyshpaev was born in what is today the region of [[Almaty Region|Almaty]], in the rural area of Lepsinsk, near the Lepsi River, not far from the current border of China. His father, Tynyshbai, was a minor official in the region. Because of his position, Tynyshbai was able to send the young Tynyshpaev to [[Almaty|Verniy]] (present day Almaty) to attend the all-male Gymnasium on a stipend provided by the [[Governorate-General (Russian Empire)|Governor-General]]. With a great and constant interest, he began to study Russian history and the history of Russian literature and culture, in particular, soon he turned out to be equally capable of studying mathematics and other languages, including ancient languages. Tynyshpaev studied from 1889 until his graduation in 1900, excelling in mathematics, languages, literature, and history. After finishing school and thanks to a strong letter of recommendation from his school principal, he left for [[St. Petersburg, Russia|St. Petersburg]] to continue his studies. He enrolled at the Imperial Institute of Railway Transport in St. Petersburg, where the Tsarist government funded him with a stipend and living allowance. Despite not being a member of the Kazakh nobility, his education allowed him to work and write in the same circles as some members of the [[Constitutional Democratic Party]] (informally known as the Kadets).
,

==Political career==
Before graduating, in the winter of 1905-1906, his actions among the young Kadets had earned the attention of the government. Tynyshpaev intended to return home to the [[Almaty]] region as usual for the holidays, but received a warning that he would be arrested upon his arrival. He remained in St. Petersburg and evaded arrest.

In the final decades of the Russian Empire, Tynyshpaev surveyed and planned railway lines, while also writing as a correspondent for several radical publications: Syn Otechestva, Rech’, Radikal, Russkii Turkestan, and most famously, as one of the founding contributors of Qazaq, which acted as the official party organ for the [[Alash Orda]].

In May 1906, he graduated and entered civil service immediately, and that same year was active on the [[Trans-Caspian Railway]]. He maintained his political connections and was elected, at the age of 28, to the [[State Duma (Russian Empire)|second Duma]] in 1907, representing his home region. Tynyshpaev’s life became a routine of railway work and contributing articles and news stories for 'Qazaq'. Some sources suggest that he was arrested in 1916, though no sentence was passed. He wrote on the colonial nature of Tsarist steppe policies in that same year, which may have been the motive for his arrest. In February 1917, following the [[February Revolution|initial Russian Revolution]], he published his open letter to the Governor-General
of Turkestan. The Provision Government, according to Martha Olcott, “chose several Kazakhs who had worked with the Kadet party to be commissars; these included… Mukhammad Tynyshpaev.” Tynyshpaev was considerably less radical than the members of the Bolshevik movement, and advocated for working with the Tsarist government in cooperation with local populations.

He was connected at the time with other Kazakh political figures: [[Mustafa Shokay|Mustafa Chokai]], Turar Ryskulov, and [[Alikhan Bukeikhanov]]. Tynyshpaev was most politically active in the late 1910s. He was a member of the short-lived [[Alash Orda|Alash autonomy]] (December 1917 – January, 1920). He was also an early leader of the Turkestan (Kokand) Autonomy, the brutal oppression of which (in early 1918) he escaped. After the consolidation of Soviet power, Tynyshpaev and most of his cohort were absorbed peacefully into the Soviet system.

{{Empty section|date=June 2015}}

==Transition to Soviet Life==
In 1921, in part thanks to his friendship with the highly placed Turar Ryskulov, Tynyshpaev was appointed the head of the Department of Water Resources of the People’s Commissariat of Turkestan, and moved to Tashkent. The following year he was appointed to the same position in Chimkent. Sadly, it was there that he lost his first wife, Gulbakhram Shalymbekova, to cholera. Her brother also perished in the cholera outbreak, so that Tynyshpaev, following his family's wishes and Kazakh tradition, married his newly widowed sister-in-law, Aziza Shalymbekova.

In 1924, Tynyshpaev returned to Tashkent, where he took a teaching position at the Kazakh Pedagogical Institute, teaching physics and mathematics. There he began his brief, but intense, period of scholarly output. In 1925, he was offered as a post of the Chief Engineer for the improvement of the new capital of Kazakh ASSR, [[Kyzyl-Orda]]. Under his leadership, new apartment houses were built and administrative buildings of brick, were designed and were built to provide channel Sarkyrama Kyzylorda drinking water. That year Tynyshpaev married Aziz Shalymbekovoy, but their marriage did not last long, and she and her little daughter Enlik moved to Moscow.

On March 1, 1926, he went to Almaty and began to work as the head of the road department of Semirechensk province, a paved road of Almaty - Bishkek was built. Tynyshpaev also conducted a research on the construction of the road Almaty - Taldykorgan, he also proposed a new version of the road Almaty - Horgos.

Tynyshpaev returned to the railway in the late 1920s, connected with the massive [[TurkSib]] project, part of [[Stalin]]'s [[First five-year plan (Soviet Union)|first Five-Year Plan]]. Tynyshpaev was employed there until January 1931. While this would imply that Tynyshpaev worked in regions hit by the disastrous effects of collectivization, there is no record of his observations at that time (1929-1931).

Tynyshpaev was also involved in construction of [[Almaty-1 railway station|Almaty-1]] station.

==Arrests and Execution==
Despite their peaceful entrance into the Soviet Union, hardly any of Tynyshpaev's early [[Alash Orda]] compatriots survived the [[Great Purge]] of the 1930s, a campaign of brutal political oppression that targeted peasants, early Bolsheviks, nationalists, and military leaders. Tynyshpaev was denounced as a "bourgeois nationalist" in August 1931, but the investigation failed to find sufficient evidence.
At that time, his son Davlet Sheikh-Ali was born to his third wife, Amina. At his suggestion, Amina gave Davlet her own last name to avoid connection with Tynyshpaev’s “bourgeois” reputation. Tynyshpaev was arrested again in 1932 and sentenced to five years of exile (with his family) in Voronezh, where he worked on the construction of the Moscow-Donetsk railway. Following the end of this sentence, Tynyshpaev returned to Tashkent. On November 21, 1937, the state police arrested Tynyshpaev and named him an “Enemy of the People.” It is unknown whether he was shot immediately or held for a brief time—he was sentenced to a prison term lasting until April 20, 1938 - perhaps his date of execution.

==His work and legacy==

Tynyshpaev’s scholarly output was not particularly large, but he produced all of it in the space of about five years. Tynyshpaev worked at the time as a professor of mathematics and physics at a pedagogical institute in Tashkent, training a new cadre of teachers among the indigenous population – in the case of this school, the students were primarily Kazakh. This was first time that Tynyshpaev lived in the same general area for more than three years – his previous employment with the railways had taken him to nearly every populated area in Central Asia.

A large portion of his scholarly output consisted of articles focusing on city ruins, cemeteries, mounds, and other sites which had attracted his attention while working the railroad. Tynyshpaev had no training in archaeology or history. Tynyshpaev wrote about the history of the Kazakhs from a genealogical perspective, lecturing for the Turkestan chapter of the Russian Geographical Society. It was under their
auspices that Tynyshpaev published several major articles, including his two most influential works:

* Materially k istorii Kirgizkazakskogo naroda, 1925 (Materials for the history of the Kirgiz-Kazak people)
* Ak-Taban-Shubryndy: Velikie bedstviia i velikie pobedy kazakov, 1927 (Ak-Taban-Shubryndy: The Great Disaster and Great Victory of the Kazaks)

These two works relied heavily on two general sources of data: (one) Russian language scholarship of the
nineteenth century, primarily the publications of [Shoqan_Walikhanov|Chokan Valikhanov], Aleksei Levshin, and [[Vasily Bartold|V. V. Barthold]], and (two) informants of oral history, though there has been some scholarship concerning the actual personalities involved in this second process.

Apart from new ethnographic material and archaeologically descriptive pieces of ruins near railway lines, Tynyshpaev’s direct impact on the body of Kazakh historiography was minimal. However, his legacy in Kazakh historiography is gigantic, particularly since the end of the Soviet Union.

Tynyshpaev was survived by his son Davlet Sheikh-Ali (born 1931), his grandson Askar Sheikh-Ali (born 1959), and his great grandson.

'''Esentai River''' ({{lang-kk|Есентай өзені}}), also known as '''Vesnovka River''' in Russian, ({{lang-ru |'''Река Весновка'''}}) is a left stream of the Small Almaty River. The river bifurcates at the last distributary of the Small Almaty Gorge which runs in the city of [[Almaty]], to the west of the Gornaya Street.

==Geography==
The length of the river is about 43 km which nearly divides the city in half. In the city of Almaty, the banks and river beds are concreted in the form of the thresholds.
In the Zhetysu district of the city, between the streets of Pavlodar and North Ring, the canal of the river is completely covered. It comes back to the surface in the area of the village Pervomaika where the river divides into branches and channels that are used for irrigation, while the remaining water ends up in the sewers.
The main channel of the river turns right, and then joins the river Karasu-Turksib, which flows directly into the Small Almaty River.

==Economy==
In area of Almaty, a pedestrian walkway has been created along the river embankment and recreation areas were established, which includes a park in the complex of [[Al-Farabi Kazakh National University|Al-Farabi University]], amusement park "Fantasy World", and a park square nearby the [[Auezov Theater]]. The water is also used for domestic and irrigation purposes.
