A lot of atomic and hydrogen explosions had a devastating impact on ecology of three regions of Kazakhstan and part of the Russian Federation adjacent to the East Kazakhstan region. This has adversely affected the health of the population, has created global preconditions for emergence of cancers the extent of which is to be studied. Even today, only at the outpatient clinic of the East Kazakhstan regional oncologic dispensary hundreds of people are diagnosed for cancerous diseases. In the late 80s, with the beginning of perestroika, among the population adjacent to the testing area, there have actively occurred protests in connection with activities of the SNTS. They turned into the anti-nuclear movement. As a result, in 1991 the SNTS was closed for military purposes.

In this paper authors reflected the results of local history research on organization of memory about events of the Great Patriotic War (WWII) and their participants - mobilized from the territory of the Semipalatinsk region of Kazakhstan. This subject is topical because the WWII events are drifting away, number of their participants becomes less and less, but the problem of Nazism, war prevention is still critical. Still remains important the problem of patriotic education of youth, formation of objective and perceptual idea about the WWII, about the people who died, became wounded or sick when protecting the world from the "brown plague."
