Oskemen (Kazakh: Өскемен/Öskemen) or Ust-Kamenogorsk (Russian: Усть-Каменого́рск) is the administrative center of East Kazakhstan Region of Kazakhstan. It is served by Oskemen Airport. Population: 303,720 (2009 Census results);310,950 (1999 Census results).
The city was founded in 1720 at the confluence of the Irtysh and Ulba rivers as a fort and trading post named Ust-Kamennaya. It was established according to the order of the Russian Emperor Peter the Great, who sent a military expedition headed by major Ivan Vasilievich Likharev in the search of Yarkenda gold. Likharev’s expedition directed up the Irtysh river to Zaysan Lake. There, at the confluence of the Ulba and the Irtysh rivers the new fortress was laid – the Ust-Kamennaya Fortress. The Ust-Kamennaya Fortress appeared on the map of the Russian Empire, the very southern end of the Irtysh line. In 1868 the city became the capital of the Semipalatinsk Oblast. It was the site of Georgy Malenkov's 30-year internal exile, during which he managed a local hydroelectric plant.

Everybody called the lady easy
For the way the lady was to please
Everybody told her she was crazy
Lovin' all that love away for free
People hate to see you make it easy
They'll never understand
Some take life for granted
'cause it seems to take so long
Easy takes it any way she can
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let it go as easy as you can
It's the sweetest and the saddest place
A body's ever been
Feelin' easy come and go again
Instrumental break, and in the background:
... easy
... to please
... she was crazy
... and free
So let's take our time and make it easy
Bring that bottle from the shelf
Everybody's laughin' when there's money, love and friends
When they're gone the jokes are on yourself
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let her down as easy as you can
It's the sweetest and the saddest place
A body's ever been
Feelin' easy come and go again
Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Bring us down a bottle from the shelf
'cause it's easy come to anyone with money, love and friends
