On December 4, protesters clashed with the police in a number of Kazakhstani cities. The President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, introduced an emergency regime in two regions of the country - in Almaty and the Mangistau region.

In the west of Kazakhstan, for several days, mass protests have not subsided due to the rise in prices for liquefied gas. Since the New Year, the cost of gas at local gas stations has increased dramatically. If last year its retail price in this region was 50-60 tenge per liter (about 10 rubles), then since the beginning of this year prices at local gas stations have increased to 120 tenge per liter (about 21 rubles).
