Symbat Masgutovich Isekeev has been working in the energy industry of the region for more than forty years. He chose this job not by chance, but by the call of his heart. Our fellow countryman recalls that previously in Egindybulak, where he is from, there was no constant power supply; residential buildings were powered by a diesel generator, which was turned off by midnight. And only in 1968 a high-voltage line was extended to the village. Even then, Symbat Masgutovich understood how important it was to give people light and warmth... When the young man was in eighth grade, the family suffered a tragic loss - his father, who had worked in the prosecutor's office for more than 36 years, died. His older sister followed in his footsteps, and after school she entered the Faculty of Law of Kazakh State University, which then bore the name of S. M. Kirov. And two years later it was Symbat Masgutovich’s turn. “My mother advised me to go to study in Almaty - my sister is there and she will look after me. We didn’t go anywhere before,” he says.
