• Since January 2, Kazakhstan has been protesting against corruption and for a change in the country's leadership. The reason was the increase in gas prices. The government of Kazakhstan has resigned. On January 5, authorities declared a state of emergency throughout the country. One of the main slogans of the protesters is “Shal ket!”, which means “Grandfather, go away!” in Kazakh, the call is addressed to the first president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, who formally left the presidency of the country in 2019, but retained the title of “father of the nation.” ".
