Paying tribute

13 May, 2019

On the eve of the Victory Day, the Emba oil workers traditionally held a number of events dedicated to the significant date

Employees of “Embamunaygas” JSC (hereinafter EMG or Company) opened a series of events dedicated to the 74th anniversary of the end of the war with the veterans health care campaign. This time, the Embinians, together with the medical staff of contractor “Interteach”, examined the veterans at home and presented a blood pressure meter as a gift. Today the company fully reimburses the costs of treatment and medications for veterans. 

On the eve of the significant date, Chairman of the Board of “Embamunaygas” JSC, Anuar ZHAKSYBEKOV, visited the elderly and people with disabilities house in Atyrau, where a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Nikolay Slavov, lives with his wife. Nikolay Slavov turned 98 this year. Nikolay met the war at the age of 20 in Western Ukraine, where Red Army soldiers served an aerodrome under construction. After being seriously injured, Slavov had the opportunity to guard the aerodromes of Astrakhan and Stalingrad, supervise the pier construction process on Sheksna River in Vologda, and after competing electrician courses, participate in construction of oil refinery in the far away Caspian town of Guryev. Nikolay Nikolayevich justly retired from the production structural unit of EMG – “Embamunayenergo”. 

- Owing to your courage and heroism, each of us today has the opportunity to live and work in our native land, raise children and make plans for the future. On behalf of the entire team of the company, I sincerely thank you for the Victory and wish you health and a long life! - Head of Emba warmly congratulated the veteran.

N. Slavov, together with his wife Lyudmila Petrovna, thanked the management of EMG for their constant attention and social support, and the veteran voiced the main message to the young people - no one else should experience war and the losses and deprivations associated with it!

The Company’s leadership team visited the war veterans - Taiyr GUMAROV, Turash KOPTLEUOV, Kurmanbay DOSSUMBETULY and Kulyan SABRALIYEVA.

Fruit baskets and money in the amount of 200 thousand tenge were presented to each veteran.

According to a long-standing good tradition, annually oil workers pay tribute to the memory of those who died during the war at the Grieving Mother memorial on the company’s territory. And this year veterans, homefront workers, internationalist soldiers and the Emba team also gathered here.

- During the years of the Great Patriotic War, the Kazakhstani soldiers showed an undying example of courage and heroism on the battlefields. Homefront workers and oil workers of Emba demonstrated a great will to win, they uninterruptedly supplied the front line with “black gold”, which was poured directly into battle tanks without processing! The oil workers of Dossor, Makat, Baychunas, Karaton and other fields fully fulfilled their duty to the front and the country, working for 12–13 hours daily. During the war, three fields were discovered. The heroical deeds of Kazakhstani people will be forever recorded in glorious history of the Great Patriotic War, - Anuar ZHAKSYBEKOV said in his welcoming speech.

By tradition, participants honoured the memory of the fallen with a moment of silence and laid flowers at the Grieving Mother memorial. The event continued with the festive dastarkhan. And on May 9, the Emba oilmen took part in the citywide ceremony of laying flowers to the Eternal Flame memorial in the Victory Park.
