KYZ-KUYYO. On the way from Bishkek to Issyk-Kul, in the Boom Gorge, where the steep cliffs rise above the noisy Chu River, there is a small village called Kyz-Kuyyo.
OTTU. In ancient times, people consumed food in its raw form.
ACHUU BULAK. Not far from here, in a small gorge, there is a spring. It was formed a long time ago—when the Kyrgyz were at war with the Kalmyks. The Kyrgyz had already driven the Kalmyks into the mountains. They captured the young son of the Kalmyk khan Changalmak and killed him in the gorge. The khan buried him there. After some time, a spring with clean, cold, tasty water appeared at the site of the grave. However, anyone who drank water from this spring fell ill in such a way that they
A long time ago, among the high mountains, there lived a poor shepherd with his wife and small son. The shepherd loved his son very much. He saw in him the continuation of his lineage.
In one clan, there were three people left: an old father, his son, and his daughter-in-law. They had no children. The old man began to complain to Allah: "Oh, Allah, do not torment me! Help me continue my lineage."
CHOLPON AND THE TWO HEROES. This happened long ago when the Kyrgyz lived as one tribe among the high snowy mountains. In this tribe, there was a young and beautiful girl named Cholpon, with eyes bluer and purer than the high sky and brighter than the stars shining in it. Two heroes, Ulan and Santash, fell in love with Cholpon—strong and brave, ready to give their lives for the heart of the wonderful Cholpon. She did not know whom to prefer. The heroes began to fight among themselves: they tore

“The people... are the first in time, beauty, and the genius of creativity, philosophers and poets... It is essential to know the history of the people, and it is equally necessary to understand their socio-political thinking. Scholars—cultural historians, ethnographers—indicate that this thinking is expressed in fairy tales, legends, proverbs, and sayings... In the simplicity of words lies the greatest wisdom...” M. Gorky.

The territory of Kyrgyzstan is one of the most seismically active regions on the planet, where earthquakes of varying strength (from weak to catastrophic) have occurred, are occurring (up to 1500 tremors per year), and will continue to occur. The high seismicity is due to the activity of tectonic processes and a complex geological-tectonic situation. Information about ancient strong earthquakes that occurred in the Tienir-Tuu area is presented in the form of seismogravitational paleomorphs
The Union of Photojournalists was established in early 2007 as a creative collective of photographers working in the genre of reportage photography in Central Asia and beyond.

As a result of non-tectonic movements, intermountain depressions and mountain uplifts were formed. The depressions consist of weakly cemented and loose deposits, while the mountain uplifts, composed of Proterozoic and Paleozoic rocks, have undergone complex tectonic disturbances and are permeated by numerous various fractures. Groundwater is concentrated in the fractured zones, emerging as springs on the surface and being used for water supply. The main (predominant) groundwater resources in
The territory of Kyrgyzstan occupies a unique position in geological terms on the Eurasian continent, as it is here that the collision of the largest folded belts in the world occurs as a result of opposing movements. The Tien Shan region of the country is composed of complexes from the Paleozoic Ural-Mongolian folded belt, the structural features of which are determined by the movement of the lithosphere, primarily from north to south, while the Pamir region consists of complexes from the

The first professional organizations began to be established in the south of the republic at the mines of Kyzyl-Kiya and Tash-Kumyr starting in 1898.

The first organizational formation of a trade union organization took place in Kyzyl-Kiya in 1905. Workers from Kyzyl-Kiya and Suluktu
