Kazakhstan renames capital to honour ex-leader
[Al Jazeera] Astana has been renamed as Nur-Sultan, as a tribute to former leader Nursultan Nazarbayev, who resigned on Tuesday.
It's kinda like the old Soviet Union, where Volgagrad was renamed after former Chairman of the Central Committee Joseph Vissarionovich Volga, or Saint Petersburg was named after the head of the Bolsheviks, Vladimir Ilich Saint Peter..
