Kazakhstan, officially the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic (abbreviated as "KSSR" or "Kazakh SSR") is a Union Republic of the Soviet Union. It is the second largest republic by land area, with an area of 2.7 million square kilometres. Kazakhstan is home to the largest Russian diaspora in the Soviet Union behind Ukraine with a population of 7.075 million Russians, accounting for 31.8% of the total population. It borders Russia to the north, the Caspian Sea to the west, Turkmenia to the southwest, Uzbekistan to the south, and Kirghizia to the southeast. It is one of the union's two transcontinental countries, due to its ownership of land west of the Ural mountains and Ural (river), both widely considered to be a border between the continents of Europe and Asia. Kazakhstan is home to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the primary spaceport of the Soviet Union which launched both Sputnik 1 and Vostok 1.
