Amanullah Shah asks: What was the most important event that occurred in Kazakhstan during 50s of XX century?
Expert's answer:

In the 1950s, the Soviet government launched a wide campaign for the development of virgin lands in Kazakhstan. About 1 million new residents came here from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. As a result, Kazakhstan became a Soviet republic with the fewest representatives of the titular nation. In 1959, the share of Kazakhs reduced to 30% of the total population of the Kazakh SSR.

Also the first thermonuclear bomb was detonated at the Semipalatinsk test site in 1953 and Baikonur, the world's first spaceport, was completed in 1957.

Unknown visitor asks: Why did Kazakhstan quit the USSR?
Expert's answer:
Well, generally speaking the nations of the states that formed the Soviet Union (like Baltic countries, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and others) wanted to get independence to be the sovereign states and USSR as a state had no power (economical, political or military) to stop them from gaining it. So the Soviet Union collapsed.
