The newspaper " Kazakhstan, the Truth ", 1992

IMPROBABLE TRANSFORMATIONS of " the GOLD SOLDIER ",
Becoming the amazon in which unknown country besides
Is not present on one geographical map.

Has brought in edition "bomb" Akishev-younger - Alisher. Two leaflets. Two typewritten pages. In which it is so much dynamite, that an echo from his explosion, I am sure, yet one decade will shake all philatelic world, from a pole up to a pole.
And not only philatelic. Fluctuations and in political sphere though here action of seismic factors will be, most likely, rather local and short-term are quite probable.
But before to acquaint readers with the explosive maintenance of leaflets - some words about the second author of the letter in edition. Kemal Akishev - the world famous scientist, the founder of the Kazakhstan archeologic school, the expert in a history of ancient nomads. It it in 1970 has made a sensational find. Digging out a barrow under city of Issykom, Kemal Akishev together with the son, the second-year student, has found out treasure from 4,5 thousand gold ornaments. As appeared, they are elements of fighting clothes notable сакского the soldier, having art unique and a historical value. Today " the GOLD SOLDIER " K.Akisheva know all over the world. Сакский the soldier has visited for the last decade cities of USA, Japan, South Korea, the Western Europe. Last time in before last year a gold exhibit from Kazakhstan was exposed in Denmark where Queen Margaret, the archeologist on formation admired with him. And suddenly an improbable discomfiture before all world community, significative of as far as it is bad still we we know and we appreciate the past, the historical culture. However, we shall listen, that speak scientists.
" Dear edition! March, 24, 1992 " Evening Alma-Ata " (newspaper) under heading " we too maintain the reputation " has published the message on presentation of the FIRST stamp of sovereign Republic of Kazakhstans. We managed to get it. She is really unique, but not only because the first. Those it still, and for other reason. Creating the sketch of mark, artist G.Komlev, probably, has copied the image of the soldier from a photo on a cover of an album " Ancient gold of Kazakhstan " (publishing house " Oner ", Alma-Ata, 1986). We are his authors composers. On a photo reconstruction of a costume of the leader of a tribe саков, made by us in Institute of archeology of AN Republic of Kazakhstans is embodied. We have spent years of scientific work, have written some books and clauses to prove reliability of such reconstruction of a costume. By results of researches restorer V.I.Sadomskov has executed a breadboard model " the Gold Soldier ". Unfortunately, at the edition in an album " Ancient gold of Kazakhstan " publishing house " Oner " has admitted negligence. A negative when printed an illustration, have turned the return party). The picture has turned out in mirror display. " The Gold Soldier " became the lefthander. The sword at him hangs at the left, and a dagger on the right, should be on the contrary.
But also it not all. On mark it has turned out, that clothes of the soldier запахнута at the left on the right whereas it should on the right on be left. So closed clothes of the man - saki in V one century B.C.. Women made it on the contrary. Thus, on mark батыр it is transformed into the amazon.
Probably, to us will tell, that it is essential only for pedants. May be. Yes only mark - the FIRST!
To grief of patriots of Republic of Kazakhstans on mark face value 0,50 (probably, roubles) is one more mistake which will raise, probably, its value for philatelists of all world.
The official name of Republic of Kazakhstans which the first mark репрезентирует, that is represents on post space, in the Kazakh text is given in abbreviated form - "Kazakhstan", and in foreign as it is possible to guess, English, is deformed. It is necessary KAZAKHSTAN, instead of KAZAHSTAN, as on mark. By amount of mistakes " the Gold Soldier " may compete to well-known mark " Blue Mauritius ". She too the last century has left with a mistake admitted on fault of the printer. The small amount of copies had time to leave in the reference up to that as all circulation was detained. The staying marks of steel also are estimated by the biggest philatelic rarity today in hundred thousand dollars. To Mark " the Gold Soldier " as have withdrawn from the circulation but what that the part was redeem.
