Kazakhstan Is A Very Multicultural Country

Kazakhstan is a multicultural country with people from all over the world, as previously stated. It's actually one of the most diverse countries I've ever visited, with 126 ethnic groups inhabiting the country. Because of Kazakhstan's, admittedly tragic, history, the two largest ethnic groups are Kazakh and Russian.

Kazakhstan was the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic from 1936 to 1991, and it was one of the Soviet Union's transcontinental component countries. Up to 40% of Kazakhs starved to death or fled the nation in the 1930s. Kazakhstan eventually became home to nearly every ethnic group that had ever been under Russian control.

The Kazakh people are quite accepting of outsiders, and the country is a religiously and ethnically diverse country that values tolerance. Ukrainians, Uzbeks, Germans, Tatars, Koreans, and others, the majority of whom speak their own languages and practice their own religions (the official languages of Kazakhstan are Kazakh and Russian).
