I suddenly realized that the city of Fort Shevchenko is the westernmost city in Kazakhstan. To the west in Western Kazakhstan there is only the Caspian Sea. I have already been to the westernmost city of Kazakhstan, Fort Shevchenko. What is my impression of the westernmost city in Kazakhstan? How do I like Western Kazakhstan itself? What beauties lurk in the far western corners of Mangistau? You will see all this in this video from the westernmost city of Western Kazakhstan - the city of Fort Shevchenko!
Fort Shevchenko is a city in the Mangistau region of Kazakhstan, on the Mangyshlak peninsula (Cape Tyub-Karagan). Nearby is the port of Bautino on the Caspian Sea. Previously, there were airports for local airlines Fort Shevchenko and Bautino.
The city houses the Shevchenko Memorial Museum; local history and ethnographic museums. The remains of the fortress, a monument to Shevchenko, and a mass grave of heroes of the Civil War have been preserved. The only Armenian chapel in Kazakhstan was built in the city.
Two kilometers away is an architectural complex of the 16th-20th centuries; 31 kilometers from the city is the Beisenbai necropolis of the 17th-19th centuries.
On the territory of the Fort-Shevchenko city administration there is the Shakhbagata site (proto-Levallois-Acheulian), the industry of which is similar to the tools of the Olduvai culture, and the Shakhbagata site (Levallois-Acheulian I), the industry of which corresponds to the Middle Acheulian.
Since the 8th century there has been a small Oguz settlement here. The former name Ketik kala was a port city on the Great Silk Road, along the route through the Caspian Sea.
In 1717, during the Khiva expedition of Bekovich-Cherkassky, the “Tuk-Karagan” fortress of St. Peter was founded on the Mangyshlak peninsula, named Peter Sokovnin in honor of Peter I and his heavenly patron.
In 1834, at Kaydak Bay, by order of the Orenburg governor Vasily Perovsky, under the leadership of Grigory Karelin, a fortification called Novo-Alexandrovsky was built. In 1846, Fort Novo-Alexandrovsk was moved to the Mangyshlak peninsula to the fortress of St. Peter, founded in 1717, and renamed Novo-Petrovskoye.
In 1857, Novo-Petrovskoye was renamed Fort Alexandrovsky. In 1850-1857, T. G. Shevchenko was in exile here, in whose honor the city bears its modern name. In 1870, the fort was besieged by the rebel Adaevites, but its small garrison under the command of Captain E.N. Zelenin withstood the siege until reinforcements arrived. In 1882-1920, the city of Fort Alexandrovsky was the capital of the Mangyshlak district.
In May 1919, near Fort Alexandrovsky, a naval battle took place between the ships of the Red and Anglo-White Guard flotillas off the northwestern coast of the Mangyshlak Peninsula. The largest battle on the Caspian Sea during the Russian Civil War. In 1924 it was renamed Fort Uritsky (in honor of M. S. Uritsky), in 1939 to Fort Shevchenko.
The archives have preserved all the data about this first settlement. The circumference of the fortification was 620 fathoms. Four bastions and two half-bastions protected the outer rampart. A stone aperture was built. All the buildings were quite an impressive sight.
On September 14, 1962, Fort Shevchenko received the status of a city of regional subordination.
Western Kazakhstan is an economic and geographical region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, located in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It consists of 4 regions: Atyrau region, West Kazakhstan region, Aktobe region and Mangistau region.

As a child, I really liked to sleep in the car rather than in the house. Now it turns out it was car camping! Such a vanlife! I live in my car quite professionally. In Western countries, a special term was coined during the night in the car and in Vanlife - boondocking. It means a VanLife night in a car in a random place not intended for overnight stays in a car with a completely absent VanLife infrastructure in this place. For some reason, in our country another definition of vanlife is more common - carcamping, that is, a narrower phenomenon. People on the way somewhere spend the night in a car somewhere in the middle of the forest.
