More than 100 nationalities live in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In everyday life, representatives of all ethnic groups live in peace and harmony, form friendships, help each other, rejoice, and grieve together.
But from time to time, ethnic conflicts flare up in our large friendly family.

In Kazakhstani courts, high-profile cases periodically arise where one person accuses another of slander.

In one establishment, I tried to pass through a narrow corridor from which a woman was exiting. The woman looked at me with a displeased expression and said to me, “Sir, where are you rushing to? Let me calmly exit.”
In that moment, I caught myself thinking that …

Praying to God is useless. No one will send rain from the sky…
