Kazakhstan or Kazakstan (kä'zäkstän') , officially Republic of Kazakhstan, republic (2005 est. pop. 15,186,000), c.1,050,000 sq mi (2,719,500 sq km), central Asia. It borders on Siberian Russia in the north, China in the east, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan in the south, and the Caspian Sea and European Russia in the west. Astana is the capital and Almaty (Alma-Ata) is the largest city. Other major cities include Shymkent, Semey, Aqtöbe, and Öskemen.\nLand and People\n\nKazakhstan consists of a vast flatland, bordered by a high mountain belt in the southeast. It extends nearly 2,000 mi (3,200 km) from the lower Volga and the Caspian Sea in the west to the Altai Mts. in the east. It is largely lowland in the north and west (W Siberian, Caspian, and Turan lowlands), hilly in the center (Kazakh Hills), and mountainous in the south and east (Tian Shan and Altai ranges). Kazakhstan is a region of inland drainage; the Syr Darya, the Ili, the Chu, and other rivers drain into the Aral Sea and Lake Balkash. Most of the region is desert or has limited and irregular rainfall.\n\nThe population of Kazakhstan consists mainly of Muslim Kazakhs (more than 45% of the population) and Russians (some 35%, many of whom belong to the Russian Orthodox Church); there are smaller minorities of Ukrainians, Germans, Uzbeks, and Tatars. Kazakh, a Turkic language, is the official tongue, but Russian is still widely used. There is considerable friction between the now dominant Kazakhs and the formerly favored ethnic Russians, who continue to emigrate in large numbers. Almaty is the site of Kazakhstan Univ. (founded 1934) and the Kazakh Academy of Sciences (founded 1946).

That was Gorbachev.  He was the one who began perestroika and glasnost, the movements you are talking about.  Perestroika is a 'restructuring' and Glasnost, an 'easing of tensions'.  Glasnost was pretty exciting culturally from a foreigner's perspective, but I gather it was a very uncomfortable thing for some Russians to take in so many capitalist influences so quickly.  There were many growing pains through Perestroika and Glasnost.  That is why Gorbachev is much more fondly remembered throughout the world than in his Russian homeland.  I think it's a shame.

Not much. I know where it is and what the capital is and that it's a former Soviet republic, but I'm afraid I know little else about it.
