He is the author of more than 100 scientific articles, monographs and discoveries on the ancient history of Northern Kazakhstan," the akim of the region Kumar Aksakalov wrote on his page in social networks.
Thanks to the painstaking work of Viktor Seibert, the whole world learned about the Botai culture. Our scientist proved that it was in the steppes of Northern Kazakhstan that the horse was first domesticated. The long-term work of the North Kazakhstani archaeologist is the historical heritage of our country.
"I express my deep condolences to the family of Viktor Fedorovich Seibert, we grieve with you," the akim of the North Kazakhstan region said.
