This morning in the center of the Kazakh rebellion, the city of Almaty, after a week-long blockage, television and the Internet were turned on. Our correspondent was able to contact via WhatsApp with a relative living in the "cultural" capital of Kazakhstan.

“The news is broadcast on TV, but I don’t watch it, I can’t watch it, my soul hurts,” she said. - Switched to cartoons, grandchildren rejoice. All week they did not know what to do with their daughter-in-law. They are not interested in toys. It turns out that you need to have cartoon discs in stock at home, so that in such cases (God forbid they relive them again) you can put the children at the monitor and go about your business. A shopping center was burned down not far from us, there were no other unrest in the area. Before the curfew comes, policemen drive around the streets and warn through a loudspeaker that anyone who is on the street can be shot. Shots were fired at night. We did not turn on the light, we did not approach the windows. Bread was baked at home, and only yesterday the daughter-in-law went out to buy groceries. In the store (it is on our first floor) we bought all the flour, we hope today they will bring both bread and flour. There are mountains of garbage on the container site, they didn’t take it out for a week. I hope the garbage trucks arrive today. I would never have thought that something like this could happen in our wonderful city…

All these days it has been foggy in Almaty, there is no snow. The temperature was positive and only today it dropped below minus. Taught by bitter experience, Almaty residents ask themselves: “And if there was no electricity, how would they cook food?!”, and come to the conclusion that million-plus cities are the most dangerous places in case of hostilities, especially in winter in regions with less conditions where every family with grandchildren needs to stock up not only on cartoons, but also on stoves with firewood.
