Abstract
The article analyzes the activities of the Union of architects and artists of Kazakhstan and its contribution to the development of national culture in the post-war period. In their practical work, the architects of Kazakhstan tried to combine functional and artistic requirements for the construction of administrative and residential buildings and the implementation of standards that would contribute to the solution of professional artistic and aesthetic problems. However, since the mid-1950s, the activity of the Union of architects of Kazakhstan was completely subordinated to the requirements and practical needs of the socio-economic policy of the command and administrative system. The article also highlights the contribution of Kazakh artists to the development of national culture and art in General, despite their creative work under strict control within the Soviet totalitarian system of 1946-1970 so the quality of works decreased.
