Peoples of Russia: Kazakhs
The Kazakhs are one of the largest Turkic-speaking peoples. According to the 2010 All-Russian population census results almost 648 thousand ethnic Kazakhs live in Russia, or 0.45% of the Russia's total population, at the same time, Kazakhs are on top 10 main ethnic groups in Russia.
The Kazakhs have become one of the most interesting Turkic-speaking population descendants due to the unique culture which have many borrowings from other peoples.
The Kazakhs national dress reflects their ancient traditions associated with history, social, economic and climatic conditions. The skins of tigers and kulans were often used in its manufacture, as well as the fur of a desman, ermine, and sable. An important part of the national costume is a dressing gown – shapan. Bright color and gold embroidery have pointed out the person status. Under the dressing gown men wore shirts and pants, women wore loose-fitting dresses.
Kazakh cuisine is divided into traditional and modern. The Kazakh diet basis is meat dishes. Manti, which are prepared with the addition of meat and pumpkin, are very popular. Such food is filling and fat-saturated since the nomadic life conditions required eating heavily.
