City of Kostanay was founded in 1879. At the beginning of XX century the city was a major trading center and was one of the important parts of the path connecting Asia and Russia. At the time, Kostanay city was a big fair, two-story wooden house, the air was dust and the streets were covered with sand. Despite this, a Swiss citizen Lorets (Lorez) has built the largest in the Southern Urals and on the territory of Kazakhstan plant production capacity of beer, which flowed in a specially branded bottles produced, in those days was uncommon.

the collective name of the citizens of Egypt, regardless of their religion or ethnicity. More than 90 million people live in Egypt, 90% are Muslims, 10% are Christians. About 1.7 million people live in Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United States.

Since ancient times, the territory of Egypt has been a place of attraction for people of various ethnic origins, who created the ancient Egyptian civilization. Significant cultural changes were associated with the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great and subsequent Hellenization; however, the most radical changes in language and culture began to take place in the 7th century, after the Arab conquest. The spread of Islam and Arabization began, which ended mainly by the XIV century. It was a long and bloody process, which was accompanied by massive oppression of the indigenous, Egyptian population. The Arabs imposed a special tax known as jiziyah on Christians who acquired dhimmi status. Most of the current Arabic-speaking inhabitants of Egypt are descendants of the ancient Egyptians who converted to Islam

It should be noted that the above refers mainly to the urban population of Egypt, which in fact was represented by the Copts, that is, the descendants of the culturally Hellenized part of the Egyptians. The Arab conquest had practically no effect on the life of the Egyptian peasants, who made up the numerical majority of the population, with the exception of their (apparently, initially very, very superficial) Islamization. In particular, the racial appearance of modern Egyptian fellahs practically did not change in comparison with the farmers of the time of the pharaohs and goes back directly to the Paleolithic population of the same area, which indicates the almost complete absence of "Arabization" of this group - which is understandable given the extremely small number of conquerors and their concentration in cities, not rural areas
