Glubokoe District

Among the regions of Kazakhstan, Glubokovsky District (Глубоковский район) stands out for its position between the Irtysh basin and the western approaches to the Altai Mountains. Part of East Kazakhstan Region, it combines cultivated plains and river-country settlements with an economy long connected to mining and non-ferrous metallurgy. The Irtysh, one of Central Asia’s major rivers, shapes the wider landscape as it flows north-west towards Russia. Nearby Öskemen began as a Russian fortress in 1720 and remains the principal urban centre of this industrial corner of eastern Kazakhstan.
