Kustanay (English spelling)

Japanese: クスタナイ - くすたない(英語表記)Кустанай/Kustanay
Kustanay (English spelling)

The capital of Kustanay Oblast, Republic of Kazakhstan, Central Asia. It is also written as Kostanay or Qostanay. It was called Nikolaevsk from 1893 to 1895. It has a population of 221,400 (1999), 245,650 (2019 estimate). The city stretches along the left bank of the Tobol River, a tributary of the Ob River. It is a railroad junction to Chelyabinsk and other cities in Russia. In the past, the city was a semi-domestic food and leather industry, but after World War II, it became a major industrial and cultural center, and heavy industries such as steel, machinery, chemical fibers, and building materials developed. In addition to the discovery and development of useful mineral resources in the vicinity, the city experienced remarkable development in the 1960s as a result of the tradition of immigration from the Volga region since 1879 and the "virgin land development" movement during the Soviet era.

中央アジア、カザフスタン共和国クスタナイ州の州都。コスタナイKostanay,Qostanayとも表記する。1893年から95年までニコラエフスクНиколаевск/Nikolaevskと称した。人口22万1400(1999)、24万5650(2019推計)。オビ川の支流トボル川の左岸に沿って市街が延びる。ロシアのチェリャビンスクなどへの鉄道の分岐点。かつては食品、皮革の半家内的工業が行われていたが、第二次世界大戦後、工業、文化の一大中心地となり、鉄鋼、機械、化学繊維、建材などの重工業が発達した。近郊の有用鉱物資源の発見、開発に加えて、1879年以来のボルガ地方からの移民の伝統と、ソ連邦時代の「処女地開拓」運動の結果、1960年代に著しい発展を遂げた。
