==History== |

Stepnogorsk was established in 1959, and has been a town since 1964. It began as a [[closed town]] with code names Tselinograd-25 ({{langx|ru|Целиноград-25}}), Makinsk-2 ({{langx|ru|Макинск-2}}). The town is known as a nuclear and biochemical site,<ref name=nytstep>[https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/12/magazine/anthrax-island.html?sec=&spon=&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink Report includes interview with a microbiologist who "ran a huge bioweapons production plant in Stepnogorsk"]</ref> which was known as the [[Stepnogorsk Scientific and Technical Institute for Microbiology]]. |
|||
It is located about 199 km North-East of [[Astana]]. Until the mid-eighties of the XX century, the city was not depicted on the maps. The fact of its existence in the open press indicated the presence of the football team "Химик" (Stepnogorsk), who played for the [[Akmola Region|Tselinograd region]] of the [[Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic|Kazakh SSR]]. |
