Dear home front workers!
Dear Atyrau people!
I sincerely congratulate you on the Great Victory Day!
Decades pass, but the star of the Great Victory shines brighter and brighter, being evidence of the fortitude, unbending stamina and courage of our people.
Kazakhstan, in a single family of peoples, participated in the Great Patriotic War, Kazakhstanis forged the Victory in the rear as well.
Guryev-Atyrautians also made their significant contribution to the Victory. They fought on all fronts from Moscow to Berlin, worked selflessly in the rear. About 43 thousand of our countrymen were called to the front, more than 13 thousand of them did not return from the battlefields.
We will always honor the feat of those who fought heroically on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, worked in the rear, restored the country in the post-war years.
Generation after generation will remember the names of Kaiyrgali Smagulov, Georgiy Kantsev, Aleksandr Afanasiev, Gavriil Shamin, Khiuaz Dospanova, Boran Nysanbayev, Yevgeniy Polynin, Musa Baimukhanov, Mukat Musayev, Shukur Yerkinov, Gizat Alipov and other our countrymen heroes who glorified their native land with their exploits .
We will never forget at what cost the Victory was won.
Victory Day fills us with faith in the inexhaustible strength of our people, inspires us to the great work of serving the world of peace.
I wish you health, kindness, joy and prosperity!
