Almaty - AlmaAta
Almaty (formerly known as Alma-Ata, also Verny, Vyernyi in Imperial Russia) is a city in Kazakhstan, with a population of 1,168,000. The name means "Father of Apples"; in the surrounding region, unrivalled genetic diversity among wild apples confirms that south-east Kazakhstan is where the apple is native. A troop of Siberian cossacks from Omsk founded the fort Zailiysky in 1854 at the foot of the Tian Shan mountain range, and renamed one year later as Verny, a name that remained until 1921.....
