Head of UrFU Victor Koksharov sent a special letter to President Nursultan Nazarbaev, former leader of Kazakhstan, on his 80th anniversary, which was past weekend. President Nazarbaev visited Ural Federal University in 2015 and received his accolades of Honorary Doctor of Ural Federal University from Rector Koksharov.   

'Please accept my warm-hearted greetings upon your 80th anniversary! This significant figure illustrates a harmony of wit and abundant experience. You could look back at your life and achievements and be very proud of what you have done in your life...From my soul, I wish you great health and energy for years to come! And may you preserve the strength, pep, and optimism that have been your trademarks and made you stand out every time!' - delivered Rector Koksharov in his letter to UrFU's Doctor Honoris Causa N. Nazarbaev.

Nursultan A. Nazarbaev is a key political figure, an undisputed mastodon of Central Asian politics, who has formed and formulated the concept of Kazakhstan's development for three decades, and while in power achieved feats of building a stable-running political regime and economy from the post-Soviet era to modern times. A close partner of Russia through various organizations (EAEU, SOC, CSTO, UN), Kazakhstan remains as a towering example of friendship and trust in Russian international politics. Citing President Vladimir Putin, President Nazarbaev is a 'founding father of Eurasian integration'.  

Helping each other in intergration processes, both Russia and Kazakhstan achieved success in the sphere of joint science projects, higher education and cross-cultural communication - none would have been possible without politics supported through decades by the Elbasy (Head of State) of Kazakhstan, President Nazarbaev. Ural Federal University enjoys having a broad partnership with Kazakhstan's universities, academia, government. We thank President Nazarbaev for years of great relations and success!
