Excursions to museums of Kostanay region.

“The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art”

Excursion to museums in Kazakhstan.

The Museum of History and Local Lore is located in the village of Denisovka, the administrative center of the Denisovsky district of the Kostanay region of Kazakhstan. In 2005, a very important event took place in the life of our region: the Denisov Museum of History and Local Lore was created, which brought together all the materials testifying to the past of our native land.
It all began in the now distant 1950s, when the history teacher of the Ordzhonikidze eight-year school Andrusik Anna Ivanovna (1920 - 1993) organized a local history circle, which later became known as "Red Pathfinders".
In the 1980s, local history work in the area continued actively: pioneers and Komsomol members wrote the chronicles of their schools, libraries accumulated material on the history of villages, school museums were opened. A wonderful museum of the history of the Cossack village still exists in the village.
Georgievsk, organized under the guidance of an enthusiastic teacher Galina Ivanovna Belaya, then it was led by the history teacher Olga Ivanovna Bus. In the 1990s, a lot of work was carried out in the schools of the district to organize school museums, local history offices, where documents on the history of the village, the school and its graduates were collected.

Employees of the Kostanay Regional Museum of History and Local Lore conducted a number of field trips and methodological consultations on the preparation of thematic plans for expositions of the district museum, on accounting and storage of funds, organizing excursions and mass work.
In the summer of 1995, the building of the museum was transferred by the decision of the district administration to the Muslim mosque "Zhuma", and at the beginning of 1997 the staff of the district museum was reduced, due to lack of funding, the museum was closed.

Our museum took place thanks to the efforts of many people, patriots of our small homeland. Without enthusiasts, local lore experts, the thread that connects the past, present and future, the previous and next generations of Denisovans would be lost.
Carefully preserving our history and passing it on to children is the task of our generation. Our present eludes us every second, the past can no longer be changed and returned, few years later remain in the memory of the people.
And what will they say about us in 50 or 100 years? Agree, everyone would like to be remembered kindly. To be remembered in general ... Our future is in our hands, it is we and today who are writing the history of our country, the history of our land - our native Denisov land.
