138.The monument to Taras Shevchenko
Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) is a Ukrainian poet, novelist, artist and anthropologist. He was very well familiar with Kazakhstan. In 1847 he was sent to serve in army in Orenburg corps in the West of Kazakhstan.
He incurred a severe punishment, he was forbidden to write and paint. He told in his letter dated 1847 about that period, that all his previous sufferings were just childish tears. However during 10 years of his deportation to Kazakhstan he made dozens of paintings showing the life of Kazakhs. Those works are kept in the National Ukraine Museum.
The monument to T.G.Shevchenko was installed in Almaty in 2000. It was a present of the group of Ukrainian sculptors under the direction of Vitaly Rozhikov; it was made in honor of the ninth anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine.
The monument is made of granite taken from Zhytomir region of Ukraine. It is interesting by its unusual design. It is made out of rough stone, as if Taras Shevchenko comes out of it.
There is a engraved signature of the poet on the front side of the monument. The statue of the famous lute player looks on the west side in the direction of the street having his name.

SUMMARY
=======
The dissolution of the Soviet Union occurred on 26 December 1991, officially granting self-governing independence to the Republics of the Soviet Union (USSR). It was a result of the declaration number 142-Н of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. The declaration acknowledged the independence of the former Soviet republics and created the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), although five of the signatories ratified it much later or did not do so at all. On the previous day, 25 December, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union, resigned, declared his office extinct and handed over its powers—including control of the Soviet nuclear missile launching codes—to Russian President Boris Yeltsin. That evening at 7:32 p.m., the Soviet flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time and replaced with the pre-revolutionary Russian flag.Previously, from August to December all the individual republics, including Russia itself, had either seceded from the union or at the very least denounced the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR. The week before formal dissolution, eleven republics signed the Alma-Ata Protocol formally establishing the CIS and declaring that the USSR had ceased to exist. Both the Revolutions of 1989 and the dissolution of the USSR also marked the end of the Cold War.
Several of the former Soviet republics have retained close links with the Russian Federation and formed multilateral organizations such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, Eurasian Economic Community, the Union State, the Eurasian Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union to enhance economic and security cooperation. On the other hand, the Baltic states have joined NATO and the European Union.
