It is an exciting moment now for the states that appeared after the collapse of the USSR. For Kazakhstan and for other countries of the post-Soviet region, the 30th anniversary of independence is a great holiday, and everyone approaches this date with their own unique historical baggage.
There is also something that unites us: all the countries of Central Asia have been strongly “renewed” demographically. We have raised our own post-independence “generations”, who do not share the Soviet experience that united us all. These are new people, and they will build political and economic relations between our states in the future.
