Location of the city of Zhezkazgan on a satellite map

Previously, the city of Zhezkazgan (Zhezkazgan) was the center of the Zhezkazgan region, which was abolished in May 1997. We also note that it was previously called Dzhezkazgan, and after 1992 the current name.

In these places, even the ancients mined copper ore and smelted tools for hunting and getting food. Very huge deposits of copper ore attracted many residents of Kazakhstan here. Subsequently, the village of Kengir was formed here (from the nearby Kara Kengir river), which at the end of 1954 became the city of Zhezkazgan. Also included are the territories of the settlements of Rudnik and Nikolsky (now the city of Satpaev).

Geographic location and nature

The city of Zhezkazgan is located in the center of the republic, southeast of the Ulytau mountains, where the Kara-Kengir river and its tributaries originate, as well as the Sary-Kengir, Zhylandy and Zhezdy, which flow into the Sarysu, at the northwestern end of the Hungry Steppe (Betpak-Dala) . The city is located on the conditional border of the desert and semi-desert zones. Main water resources The cities are the Kengir Reservoir (37 km²) on the Kara-Kengir River and the Zhezdinsky Reservoir to the south of the city. Geographical position: 47.47 degrees north latitude and 67.42 degrees east longitude.

This is an area of ​​copper mineralization. The vegetation cover combines cereal-wormwood, wormwood and wormwood-saltwort complexes on light chestnut and brown soils. Animal and vegetable worlds characteristic of desert regions. Flora is represented mainly by wormwood, feather grass and burdock, elms, poplars, maples grow within the city. The fauna of the region is represented by wolves, corsac foxes, hares, marmots, ground squirrels and jerboas, a wide variety of reptiles, occasionally saiga, wild boar.

Climate

The climate is semi-desert (sharply continental), dry. The area is prone to dust storms. Winters are cold and summers are hot and dry. Short spring and long dry autumn. High degree continentality and pronounced dryness are explained primarily by remoteness from the oceans and seas. The length of the growing season and the amount of solar heat allow the cultivation of many agricultural and melon crops.

Story

Pre-revolutionary period

People learned about the riches of the bowels of Zhezkazgan long ago, back in the Bronze Age. These deposits in the form of manifestations of copper ores and their excavations were first mentioned in the writings of Herodotus. Extensive excavations were carried out, ore was mined, metal was smelted and copper products were made. This is evidenced by archaeological finds - a system of furnaces for smelting ores, copper ingots, copper and bronze arrowheads. In the vicinity of Zhezkazgan there are obelisks (menhirs), stone statues and ruins of ancient buildings.

Zhezkazgan was first mentioned in the Day Notes of Captain Rychkov's Journey to the Kirghiz-Kaisatsky Steppes in 1771, published in St. Petersburg. After the publication of the notes, several expeditions were organized to the region of the current Zhezkazgan region to confirm the wealth of the region. The organizer of one of the expeditions was Grigory Semenovich Volkonsky, the father of the Decembrist Sergei Volkonsky. The expedition sent by him confirms the assumptions about the large reserves of lead and copper in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe current Central Kazakhstan.

In honor of this, a commemorative medal minted from “silver lead” mined from the Kurgasyntau Lead Mountain (Kurgasyn deposit 150 km north of Zhezkazgan) was issued. On the front side of the medal there was an inscription: "Europe crowns Russia with glory, Asia opens its treasures to her."

For the first time, copper lands were registered as the "Dzhezkazgan Copper Deposit" in 1847 by an industrialist from N.A. Ushakov, but, not having a sufficiently large capital, Ushakov, and then the mining company of the Ryazanovs, could not organize in more than 60 years in large-scale industrial development of the area. Joint-stock companies also tried to do this, which in 1909 acquired Dzhezkazgan from the heirs of Ryazanov, renting the Karsakpai tract (1420 hectares) for 30 years to build a copper smelter on it.

In 1914, the foundation was laid for an enrichment plant in the city of Karsakpai. The goods needed for the construction of a copper smelter were delivered from the station, 400 km away, on camels, and in 1914 the equipment was sent along a rail track 13 miles long. The track, after the composition of the wagons passed along it, was disassembled and laid again. The first train with equipment arrived in Karsakpai in October 1917.

The workers' settlement was founded in 1939 on the site of the former village of Kengir. In 1941 the name was changed to Big Dzhezkazgan. However, the birthday of the city of Dzhezkazgan is traditionally considered December 20, 1954, when by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Kazakh SSR, the working settlement of Bolshoy Dzhezkazgan received the status of a city. At that time, it had a little more than 30 thousand inhabitants, together with the village of Rudnik.

Since then, the city has widely expanded its borders and stepped far into the steppe. Where quite recently there were wastelands, wide avenues have been laid, parks and squares have been laid out. 138 thousand people lived in the city, and the housing stock was 1640 thousand m².

It is worth noting the first builders of Big Dzhezkazgan, who made a significant contribution to the formation and development of the city: N. E. Gavrilov, M. P. Koinov, F. G. Blestkina, M. Bushelakov, V. D. Vakulchik, Tetevin, Voronov, Selsky, Rublev , Barsukov.

The city began to develop at a particularly rapid pace since 1956, when it was decided to turn Zhezkazgan into the largest center of the country's non-ferrous metallurgy. At the call of the party, envoys from the fraternal republics of Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and others came to build a copper city. Tleubaev, R. L. Tulchinsky, M. N. Zhuravleva, L. A. Gavrilova, L. S. Varapaeva, L. S. Kizilstein, L. V. Manaenkova, G. T. Maish, L. I. Kleshch, P. P. Doskovskaya.

Zhezkazgan is one of the first cities in the republic where a television center began to operate. First, the townspeople and residents of the surrounding settlements watched local television programs, and since 1968 the Orbita television station began to operate, which received central television programs from.

The city in the steppe was landscaped and connected to all the workers' settlements and their subsidiary farms by paved roads.

Since 1958, the literary association "Slitok", and later "Kurysh" in the Kazakh language, began to work in the city with the city newspaper "Dzhezkazgan Worker". More than forty beginning poets and prose writers took part in both associations. In their works, working poets glorified labor, people transforming the steppe region. The evening faculty of the Karaganda Polytechnic Institute, transformed in 1992 into a mining and technological institute. Later, on the basis of this institute and Zhezkazgan Pedagogical Institute the current Zhezkazgan University named after O. A. Baikonurov was opened. Particular importance was attached to the development of physical culture and sports. There were three stadiums. The football teams "Gornyak", "Metallurg", "Enbek" became the champions of the republic more than once, won prizes in the second league of teams of those times. Fishing developed on the Sarysu and Zhezdy rivers.

In 1971, the Council of Ministers of the Kazakh SSR approved a plan for the development of the Dzhezkazgan industrial region for 25-30 years, which noted that the region ranks first in the country in terms of explored reserves and production of copper ore. The plan provided for the further expansion of mining enterprises; construction of mines in the Annensky mountain region, development of the full capacity of mines No. 57 and 65, as well as the unique Akchi-Spasskoye deposit, construction of a third processing plant, reconstruction of existing ones, completion of the construction of a copper smelter with the release of end products - copper rod. The master plan provided for the connection of the city with the Orenburg-Tashkent railway, with access to Aral Sea, commissioning of a new high-class airport (with hard surface). Big plans were outlined for housing, civil and social cultural construction.

On March 20, 1973, the city became the center of the Dzhezkazgan region (separated from), and became the largest region of the Kazakh SSR in terms of area. The area of ​​the Dzhezkazgan region was 313,400 sq. km, and included the cities of Dzhezkazgan, Balkhash, Nikolsky, Priozersk and Karazhal; districts: Aktogay, Agadyr, Zhana-Arkinsky, Zhezdinsky, Ulytausky, Priozerny and Shetsky. About 496,000 (1991) people lived (46.1% - Kazakhs, 45.5% - Russians). The city began to develop rapidly due to the creation of regional organizations. The construction of the Zhezkazgan copper smelter was completed, concentrating plant No. 3 was built, new giant mines were being built. Were built and put into operation: Knitting factory, poultry farm, brick factory, dairy and meat processing plant. The construction of the Karaganda-Zhezkazgan canal and a plant for the production of turkey meat began. On the banks of the Kengir reservoir, a Sanatorium-Prophylactorium was built.

In independent Kazakhstan

On September 8, 1992, the transcription of the city of Dzhezkazgan in Russian was changed to Zhezkazgan, and the Dzhezkazgan region, to the Zhezkazgan region.

During the first decade after the collapse of the USSR, great negative changes took place in the city. Work disrupted utilities: prolonged interruptions in electricity, heating and water supply have become a daily occurrence, a massive outflow of the population has begun. Knitting factory stopped working; the factory for the production of turkey meat collapsed and was closed, like a number of other enterprises - a poultry farm, a brick factory. The city stadium was abandoned and brought into disrepair. The abolition of the Zhezkazgan region in May 1997 caused another irreparable damage to the city. Part of the infrastructure was removed, and a number of promising investment projects were frozen. The second wave of outflow of the population began. Since 2000, an extremely slow growth in the city's prosperity has been observed, the restoration and expansion of its infrastructure has begun. With the direct participation, financial and technical support of the Kazakhmys corporation, the following were completely reconstructed: the Metallurg City Stadium and the First Builders Square. The square acquired a completely new look, instead of the old fountain, a new one was erected, musical, with color illumination. The area itself has become much wider due to the addition of the adjacent wasteland to it. The building of the Wedding Palace, built in the form of a pyramid, is also located on the square. The square itself was ennobled and landscaped; numerous seedlings were planted: catalpa, white poplar, hawthorn, lilac.

In 2012, the construction of the Zhezkazgan - Saksaulskaya - Shalkar - railway line, 988 km long, began, which became part of the transit corridor "Chinese border - Aktau port - Baku - Georgia - Turkey - European countries".

In 2015, a new railway line "Zhezkazgan - Saksaulskaya" with a length of 517 km was put into operation. The line has been under construction since July 2012. In December 2013, the superstructure of the track was docked near the Koskol station (Ulytau region). As part of the construction of the line, 12 bridges were built across rivers and ravines, 244 culverts were laid, about 30 million cubic meters of soil were poured into the body of the earth embankment. In 2014, it was planned to complete the first start-up complex, which included 44 new sidings, signaling and blocking devices, electrical stabilization and power supply posts, administrative buildings and housing.

On August 22, 2014, the President of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev solemnly opened traffic on two lines - Zhezkazgan - Beineu and Arkalyk - Shubarkol.

A master plan for the development of the city until 2017 was adopted and approved.

Attractions

The main attractions of Zhezkazgan are located outside the city limits. In the vicinity of the "copper capital", as Zhezkazgan is poetically called, there are several mausoleums of the Mongol and Kazakh khans of the Middle Ages and modern times, including the mausoleum of Jochi Khan and Zhuzden. In the city itself, tourists can be attracted by picturesque buildings from the 40s and 50s, such as; theatre. S. Kozhamkulova or the old building of the corporation "Kazakhmys" or the former City Committee of the Party on the street. Cosmonauts.

Of particular interest is Cosmonauts Boulevard (from 1994 to 2010 it was called "Saken Seifullin Boulevard"). Not far from the city is the Baikonur Cosmodrome (about 520 km to the west) in. Since many descent vehicles landed in the Zhezkazgan area, in the 1970s-1980s, many astronauts who returned to Earth were taken to the airport and solemnly transported along the main streets of the city. After a short examination, in a closed dispensary (which was located on the banks of the reservoir in the 6th microdistrict of the city), the astronauts were taken back to the airport, and then to Moscow. According to tradition, those who arrived from outer space planted pine trees on Cosmonauts Boulevard, which is why it got its name. The stele "Cosmos" and a pano with the image of Yuri Gagarin at the end of the house on Nekrasov Street, as well as the monument "Aviation and Cosmonautics" also remind of the "space" tradition of Zhezkazgan. Among other monuments, the bust of K.I. Satpayev on Metallurgists Square, the monument to the first builders on the square of the same name, the monument to those who died in the Great Patriotic War, in the park "30 Years of Victory", a monument to Metallurgists, a monument to those who died from Stalinist repressions and monuments to Abylai Khan and S. Seifullin on the street of the same name.

The city has several parks, among which; the 30 Years of Victory park, which is located on the banks of the Kengir reservoir, where an amusement complex with a Ferris wheel is located, the Nauryz park (formerly Yuzhny) and the Zhastar park (former Komsomol park). But, unfortunately, due to the barbaric pruning of trees, the parks and squares of the city fell into complete disrepair. Many trees have dried up or been cut down. Guests of the city can feel the atmosphere of the oriental bazaar in the city markets - Central, Sharua, Merey and Tursynai. The city also has a Sports Palace, a stadium and a swimming pool "Dolphin".Many people are attracted by the unique nature of the Ulytau mountains, whose slopes rise to the northeast of Zhezkazgan. The landscape of Ulytau is extremely diverse: there are meadows covered with flowers (monoculture - tulip), and birch groves, mountain rivers and lakes, and next to this - seemingly "Martian" desert landscapes inhabited by poisonous snakes and scorpions. Due to the fact that it was here that Zhanibek and Kerey founded the Kazakh Khanate in the 15th century, Ulytau is rightfully considered a "sacred land" and "the cradle of the Kazakh people." In this area, you can often stumble upon ancient burial grounds, mazars or "stone women" - balbals (monuments to deceased ancestors).

Population (estimate) 96,400. Until 1954, it was called Big Dzhezkazgan, in 1954-1992 Dzhezkazgan. "Dzhezkazgan" in a free translation from the Kazakh language means "a place where copper was dug." Its literal translation is “copper dug”.

Geographic location and nature

Zhezkazgan is located in the center of Kazakhstan, southeast of the Ulytau mountains, where the Kara-Kengir river and its tributaries originate, as well as the Sary-Kengir, Zhylandy and Zhezdy, which flow into the Sarysu, at the northwestern end of the Hungry Steppe (Betpak-Dala). The city is located on the conditional border of the desert and semi-desert zones. The main water resources of Zhezkazgan are the Kengir reservoir (37 km²) on the Kara-Kengir river and the Zhezdinsky reservoir to the south of the city. Geographical position: 47.47 degrees north latitude and 67.42 degrees east longitude.

This is an area of ​​copper mineralization. The vegetation cover combines cereal-wormwood, wormwood and wormwood-saltwort complexes on light chestnut and brown soils. Animal and plant worlds are typical for desert regions. Flora is represented mainly by wormwood, feather grass and burdock, elms, poplars, maples grow within the city. The fauna of the region is represented by wolves, corsac foxes, hares, marmots, ground squirrels and jerboas, a wide variety of reptiles, occasionally saiga, wild boar.

Climate

The climate is sharply continental and arid. The area is prone to dust storms. Winters are cold and summers are hot and dry. Short spring and long and dry autumn. The high degree of continentality and pronounced aridity are explained primarily by the remoteness from the oceans and seas. The duration of the growing season and the amount of solar heat allows the cultivation of many agricultural and melon crops. It is especially worth noting among all the crops grown in the region, Zhezkazgan tomatoes. Due to the dry, hot climate, tomatoes grown in Zhezkazgan are distinguished by high sugar content and a special, wonderful sweet taste. The average annual rainfall is 208 millimeters.

Industry and infrastructure

The basis of Zhezkazgan's industry is copper metallurgy. One of the most powerful copper plants of the former Soviet Union operates here, which includes two enrichment plants, a copper smelter, a foundry and mechanical plant, and an industrial railway transport enterprise. Around the city, in the foothills of Ulytau, the richest copper deposits are being developed, rich in impurities of rare earth, trace and noble metals: gold, silver, bismuth, zinc, molybdenum, cadmium, rubidium, cesium, lithium, thallium, cobalt, rhenium and the osmium-187 isotope ( the price of one gram is from $10,000 to $40,000). The processing of which is carried out by the Zhezkazganredmet enterprise. Further processing of copper is carried out at the copper rod plant. In addition, manganese ores are mined, and in 2006, the development of iron ores at the Zhaman-Aibat deposit began. The Zhezkazgan corporation Kazakhmys, which owns almost all the heavy industry enterprises in the city, ranks eighth among the world's copper mining companies. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has branches in Germany, Russia and China. Of the light industry enterprises in the city, there are several sewing, repair and other workshops. The energy complex is represented by a large Zhezkazgan thermal power plant.

Zhezkazgan has a railway station, a bus station and an airport that receives regional passenger and cargo flights, and since November 2008 Zhezkazgan airport has been open for international flights.

The medical infrastructure is represented by several clinics, a multidisciplinary hospital and one of the largest medical complex in Central Asia of the Kazakhmys Corporation.

Attractions

The main attractions of Zhezkazgan are located outside the city limits. In the vicinity of the "copper capital", as Zhezkazgan is poetically called, there are several mausoleums of the Mongol and Kazakh khans of the Middle Ages and modern times, including the mausoleum of Jochi Khan and Zhuzden. In the city itself, tourists will be attracted by the picturesque buildings of the 40s and 50s, such as the Kozhamkulov Theater or the main building of the Kazakhmys corporation (the former city committee of the CPSU).

The city has several parks. Among them are the 30 Years of Victory park, which is located on the shore of the Kengir lake-reservoir, where an amusement complex with a Ferris wheel is located, the Nauryz park (formerly Yuzhny) and the Zhastar park. But, unfortunately, due to the barbaric pruning of trees, the parks fell into complete disrepair. Many trees have dried up or been cut down. Zhezkazgan is a very clean city. Every Thursday and Saturday residents clean the streets and parks. Guests of Zhezkazgan can feel the atmosphere of the oriental bazaar in the city markets - Central, Sharua, Merey and Tursynay. The city has a Sports Palace, a stadium and a Dolphin swimming pool. Many people are attracted by the unique nature of the Ulytau mountains, whose slopes rise north of Zhezkazgan. The landscape of Ulytau is extremely diverse: there are meadows covered with flowers, and birch groves, and mountain streams and lakes, and next to this, seemingly "Martian" desert landscapes inhabited by poisonous snakes and scorpions. Due to the fact that it was here that Zhanibek and Giray founded the Kazakh Khanate in the 15th century, Ulytau is rightfully considered the "sacred land", "the cradle Kazakh culture". In this area, you can often stumble upon ancient burial grounds, mazars or "stone women" - monuments to deceased ancestors.

Story

Pre-revolutionary period

People learned about the riches of the depths of Zhezkazgan a long time ago, back in the Bronze Age. These deposits in the form of manifestations of copper ores and their excavations were first mentioned in the writings of Herodotus. Extensive developments were carried out, ore was mined, metal was smelted and copper products were made. This is evidenced by archaeological finds - a system of furnaces for smelting ores, copper ingots, copper and bronze arrowheads. In the vicinity of Zhezkazgan there are obelisks (menhirs), stone women, ruins of ancient buildings.

Zhezkazgan is mentioned for the first time in the Day Notes of Captain Rychkov's Journey to the Kirghiz-Kaisatsky Steppes in 1771, published in St. Petersburg. After the publication of the notes, several expeditions were organized to the Zhezkazgan region to confirm the wealth of the region. The organizer of one of the expeditions was Grigory Semenovich Volkonsky - the father of the Decembrist Sergei Volkonsky. The expedition sent by him confirms the assumptions about large reserves of lead and copper in the region of present-day Central Kazakhstan.

In honor of this, a commemorative medal minted from "silver lead" mined from the Kurgasyntau Lead Mountain (Dzhezkazganskoye deposit) was issued. On the front side of the medal there was an inscription: "Europe crowns Russia with glory, Asia opens its treasures to her."

For the first time, copper lands were registered as the Dzhezkazgan copper deposit in 1847 by the Yekaterinburg industrialist N.A. development of the region. The joint-stock companies of England and France also tried to do this, which in 1909 acquired Dzhezkazgan from Ryazanov's heirs, leasing the Karsakpai tract (1420 hectares) for 30 years for the construction of a copper smelter on it.

In 1971, the Council of Ministers of the Kazakh SSR approved a plan for the development of the Dzhezkazgan industrial region for 25-30 years, which noted that the region ranked first in the country in terms of explored reserves and production of copper ore. The plan provided for the further expansion of mining enterprises: the construction of mines in the Annensky mountain region, the development of the full capacity of mines No. 57 and 65, as well as the unique Akchi-Spassky deposit; construction of the third enrichment plant, reconstruction of the existing ones; completion of the construction of a copper smelter with the release of the final product - copper rod. The master plan provided for the connection of the city with the Orenburg-Tashkent railway with access to the Aral Sea. Commissioning of a new high-class airport with a hard surface. Big plans were outlined for housing, civil and social cultural construction.

On March 20, 1973, the city became the center of the Dzhezkazgan region, which separated from the Karaganda region and became the largest region of the Kazakh SSR in terms of area. The area of ​​the Dzhezkazgan region was 313,400 sq. km, it included the cities: Dzhezkazgan, Balkhash, Nikolsky, Priozersk and Karazhal; districts: Aktogay, Agadyr, Zhana-Arkinsky, Zhezdinsky, Ulytausky, Priozerny and Shetsky. About 496,000 (1991) people lived (46.1% - Kazakhs, 45.5% - Russians). The city began to develop rapidly due to the creation of regional organizations. The construction of the Zhezkazgan copper smelter was completed, concentrating plant No. 3 was built, new giant mines were being built. A knitting factory, a poultry factory, a brick factory, a dairy plant and a meat processing plant were built and put into operation. The construction of the Karaganda-Zhezkazgan canal and a plant for the production of turkey meat began. A sanatorium-dispensary was built on the banks of the Kengir reservoir.

In independent Kazakhstan

During the first decade after the collapse of the USSR, great changes took place in the city. The work of communal services was disrupted: prolonged interruptions in electricity, heating and water supply became a daily occurrence, and a massive outflow of the population began. A knitting factory stopped working, a factory for the production of turkey meat fell apart and was closed, like a number of other enterprises - a poultry farm, a brick factory. The city stadium was abandoned and fell into disrepair. The situation began to improve in 1995, after the appointment of Nagmanov K. as akim of the region and the transfer of the mining and metallurgical plant to the management of Samsung. However, the abolition of the Dzhezkazgan region in May 1997 caused irreparable damage to the city. Part of the infrastructure was removed, and a number of promising investment projects were frozen. The second wave of outflow of the population began. Since 2000, there has been some growth in the welfare of the city, the restoration and expansion of its infrastructure. Currently, Zhezkazgan is a dead-end station, but in the near future it is planned to build a railway line "Zhezkazgan - Saksaulskaya - Shalkar - Beyneu", which should become part of the transit corridor "Chinese border - Aktau port - Baku - Georgia - Turkey - European countries". A master plan for the development of the city until 2020 was adopted and approved. A decision was made to build CHPP-2.

Of particular interest is Cosmonauts Boulevard (from 1994 to 2010 it was called “Saken Seifullin Boulevard”): Baikonur Cosmodrome is located near the city of Zhezkazgan (about 300 km to the south). Therefore, after landing, the cosmonauts were usually taken to Zhezkazgan and sent from the local airport. According to tradition, those who arrived from outer space planted spruce trees on Cosmonauts Boulevard, which is why it got its name. The “Space” stele and a panel depicting Yuri Gagarin at the end of the house on Nekrasov Street, as well as the “Aviation and Cosmonautics” monument, also remind of the “space” tradition of Zhezkazgan. Among other monuments, the bust of K. I. Satpayev on Metallurgists Square, the monument to the First Builders on the square of the same name, the monument to those who died in the Great Patriotic War in the park “30 Years of Victory”, the monument to Metallurgists, the monument to those who died from Stalinist repressions and monuments to Abylay Khan and S.

Period 1954-1991

Coat of arms of Dzhezkazgan during the Soviet period

The birthday of the city of Dzhezkazgan can be considered December 20, 1954, when the working settlement of Bolshoy Dzhezkazgan was transformed into a city by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh SSR. At that time, together with the village of Rudnik, it had a little more than 30 thousand inhabitants. During the years of Stalinist repressions, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bGreat Dzhezkazgan, there was a camp for exiles - StepLAG, which was part of the punitive system concentration camps- GULAG. In 1954 (05/16/1954 - 06/26/1954) an uprising broke out in the StepLAG, which was brutally suppressed by the authorities. Tanks were thrown to suppress the uprising, under the tracks of which a large number of convicts died.

At present, in the area where the barracks of prisoners were located, fragments of stone fences can be found. In memory of those days, a monument to the victims of political repressions was erected in the Nauryz park. Since then, the city has widely expanded its borders, stepped far into the steppe. Where quite recently there were wastelands, wide avenues have been laid, parks and squares have been laid out. 138 thousand inhabitants lived in the city, and the housing stock amounted to 1640 thousand m².

It is worth noting the first builders of Big Dzhezkazgan who made a significant contribution to the formation and development of the city: N. E. Gavrilov, M. P. Koinov, F. G. Blestkina, M. Bushelakov, V. D. Vakulchik, Tetevin, Voronov, Selsky, Rublev, Barsukov.

To accommodate the rapidly growing population of Rudny Zhezkazgan, to the northeast of it, ten kilometers away, in 1955, the village of Nikolsky was founded. The purpose of the settlement is the creation of the main residential area for workers employed in the mining industry of Zhezkazgan, as well as the cessation of housing construction in the undermined areas of the mines.

The village of Nikolsky was a compact, well-maintained residential area, built up with 4 and 5-storey buildings. The city began to grow at a particularly rapid pace since 1956, when it was decided to turn Zhezkazgan into the largest center of the country's non-ferrous metallurgy. At the call of the party, envoys from the fraternal republics went to build the city of copper
