Sokolov-Zeman, which was left unfinished, provided for the construction of terraces of public buildings on the slopes of the famous Verigin Mount now Koktyube and the erection of a monumental House of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic on its ridge top. The project was only implemented in one respect: they built the Palace of the Republic on Abai Square. There is a powerful radio and television transmission station with a meter television tower constructed at the top of the mountain.
Together with the mountain, the total height of the structure comes to meters above sea level. The mountain slopes are a favorite rest place for Almaty residents attracted by sledding and ski routes in winter, and green flowering lawns in summer.
You can easily ride to the top of Koktyube by cable car. Strolling around this picturesque spot, which provides a panoramic view of the "southern capital", you can observe the life of the big city. In small cafes, you will be offered a taste of the aromatic dishes of Kazakh national cuisine. From this place, you can also take excursions around the neighboring mountains and valleys. Perching themselves at sweetly smelling easels amidst different varieties of grasses, red and bluish poppies, local snowdrops, and crimson peonies, which Almaty dwellers call Marja Korevna, local artists have strived to create their small masterpieces.
Verigin Mount and its environs were represented in the first films about our city. Well remembered are the films "Our Dear Doctor" produced by Sh. Aimanov, "Welcome to Alma-Ata" by A. Nugmanov, "Mountains and the City" by Ya. It was here that, charmed by the view of the Trans-Ili Mountains and the steppe mirages of the Apple-tree Valley, the composers B.
Yerzakovich and S. Shabelski, in association with the poets D. Abilev and A. Lukashenko, wrote the wonderful songs "Alma-Ata" and "My City" in It was here that Aset Beiseuov created his waltz "Ahnaly Almatym".
Almaty's unique natural and climatic conditions influenced courageous scientific ideas, engineering concepts, and projects of the century. Here the ideas of scientist V. Buchman relating to the utilization of solar energywere tested. The helio-therapeutic reflector which he invented and presented at the exhibition held to mark the 15 th anniversary of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic would boil water and put into action a small steam machine before the very eyes of the amazed public.
The Buchman sun-dial embellished the square in front of the Cathedral. As regards Buchman's reflector, its salutary effect has been experienced since by patients of the first ever helio-clinic in the Republic. It was in the surroundings of Almaty that Academician G. Tikhov originated astrobotany, a specific scientific trend concerned with studying the spectrophotometric properties of the surface of Mars and terrestrial vegetation.
On this occasion, poets asserted that "there will be apple trees blooming on Mars" and none except Almaty aporto. In , Verny saw the publication of the anthology of the Utopian thinker N. Fyodorov under the general title "Philosophy of the Common Cause". The book had been prepared by Fyodorov's disciple, the Verny lawyer N. This work by the representative of Russian cosmism Nikolai Fyodorov has been internationally recognized as a monument of philosophic thought. The philosopher predicted that there would come a time of immorality and a utilitarian approach towards the monuments of human civilization.
Something similar has unfortunately happened in our city, where the past failed to live in harmony with the present and many monuments and historic places were not preserved. Study of the Verny earthquakes initiated the formation and development of a new science of seismology and practices of earthquake-proof engineering in Kazakhstan.
Two geological catastrophes are known to have taken place on 28 May and 22 December old Russian calendar , as well as a destructive mud-and-rock flow which buried the city on the night of 8 and 9 July These events had a considerable effect on the development of the city's planning and the architectural appearance of the "southern capital".
