Once a thriving fishing port the receding sea decimated the town's economy - most people left. Forlorn women sell fish from a small reservoir, a pathetic remnant of the sea
The destitute town has a 'Wild West' feel to it.....
Even this remote outpost could not escape the tentacles of The Soviet apartment block! At least they can enjoy satellite TV!
Ethnic Kazakhs were formerly nomadic fishing people
Government propaganda adorns telegraph poles
'Peace and Prosperity' no doubt!
'Peace and Prosperity' no doubt!
