Sculpture of first President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbaev sitting in the chair, bronze. National Museum of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan
Nursultan Abishuly Nazarbayev is a Kazakh politician currently serving as the Chairman of the Security Council of Kazakhstan since August 1991. Nazarbaev was the first President of Kazakhstan, in office from 24 April 1990 until 20 March 2019. He is one of the longest-ruling non-royal leaders in the world, having ruled Kazakhstan for nearly three decades. He was named First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Kazakh SSR in 1989 and was elected as the nation's first president following its independence from the Soviet Union. He holds the title Elbasy (meaning "Leader of the Nation"). The sculpture of Nazarbaev sitting on the throne-like chair is considered a replica of sculpture of 16th President of the US Abraham Lincoln in the Washington memorial.
