Mining Complex

The traces of ancient mining operations in the territory of Kyrgyzstan indicate that mercury, lead, zinc, gold, copper, etc. have been extracted here since ancient times. The volume of extraction of certain minerals speaks to a significant level of work during those times (for example, at the lead mines of Kana and Guta). Gold was historically mined in the Turkestan Range, in Chatkal, Uzun-Akmate, Talas, Suusamyr, Issyk-Kul, and other places. Before the collapse of the USSR, Kyrgyzstan was

Electric Power Industry

Before 1917, the electric power industry in Kyrgyzstan, as a separate branch of industry, hardly existed. In 1913-14, only 5 small power plants operated with a total capacity of 265 kW: the thermal station of the Kyzyl-Kyisky coal deposit (121 kW), two hydropower plants in the city of Osh (120 kW), the Bishkek diesel power station (16.5 kW), and the Karakol diesel power station (7.5 kW).

Etiquette and Moral Culture of Modernity

A brief overview of the evolution of ideas about etiquette in the context of world culture provides an opportunity to analyze and evaluate the diversity of etiquette rules, regulations, and prescriptions. At the early stages of its development, etiquette was identified with the action of magical rituals. In a class-based society, court etiquette served as a tool regulating the arrangement of political power among classes and estates. Finally, the emerging trends towards the democratization of

Democratization of Etiquette in Bourgeois Culture

As we can see, etiquette in the feudal era not only became more complex but also aestheticized and even evolved into a form of art, thereby fulfilling its segregative function in society. It is no coincidence that the Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century spoke out sharply against it. The theories of the Enlightenment reflected the objective process of societal stratification and its instrument—the feudal etiquette—when the power of inherited privileges, ranks, and titles was replaced by

Fuel Industry

The Republic has a significant amount of diverse fuel and energy resources. Involving them in production allows for gradually addressing the issues of reducing the import of energy carriers from other countries and increasing the efficiency of the fuel and energy complex, which consists of two major sectors: fuel production (coal, oil, gas extraction) and electric power generation. The fuel and energy complex represents an inter-industry system for the production of fuel and energy, including

The Industry of Kyrgyzstan

The development of Kyrgyzstan's industry began even before the October Revolution. In 1913, the share of industrial production was 3%. Before the revolution, compared to Russia, industrial output per capita in Kyrgyzstan was 16 times lower. The industry, based on artisanal production, was engaged in the processing of agricultural raw materials (86.5% of total industrial output). Before the revolution, there was 1 artisanal candy factory, 2 breweries, and 2 tanneries operating in

Urgent tasks in this regard included the development of public education,

Glaciers of Kyrgyzstan

The territory of Kyrgyzstan is predominantly mountainous, with peaks almost everywhere reaching the climatic line, and in most mountain ranges, the ridge zone is covered with temporary glaciation. An important place in the natural resources of Kyrgyzstan is occupied by the potential resources of glaciers, as a source of the purest fresh water and one of the main sources of river feeding. The total water reserves stored in glaciers are estimated at 650 km³. By these indicators, Kyrgyzstan can

Rivers of Kyrgyzstan

The formation of runoff and the hydrographic network in the territory of Kyrgyzstan is greatly influenced by the orographic structure and relief, climatic conditions, and the presence of glaciers. The mountain ranges of Kyrgyzstan act as barriers to moist air masses coming from the west, northwest, and north, and serve as natural accumulators of atmospheric moisture. The leading ridges and their corresponding slopes are better supplied with moisture than the opposite eastern, southeastern, and
