Today, Karaganda blends Soviet-influenced architecture with modern renovation efforts. Vast memorials, such as the Karlag Gulag Museum, recall the hardships of forced labor camps. Meanwhile, squares, theaters, and universities underscore a culture of resilience—indicative of a city forging a diversified future beyond coal.
