One-Time Outpost Now the Capital of New Soviet Frontier
Tselinograd in northern Kazakhstan rose from a grassland outpost to a capital of a vast virgin lands project. The city hosts a mixed population including Kazakhs, Ukrainians, Volga Germans, and Russians. Germans maintain a distinct community with a newspaper, German radio, and occasional theater, while residents praise abundant food and growing farms.
