1991 August 29y — a special day in the history of Kazakhstan. On this day, the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site was closed. This decision showed the world our great desire to maintain peace.

Today, students and teachers of Shakarim University took part in the event dedicated to the closure of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site, held on Peace Island. The gathered community laid flowers on the monument "Stronger than death..." as a tribute to the victims of the nuclear tests and remembered them in silence.
