In Kazakhstan, the Day of Remembrance of Internationalist Warriors is observed annually on February 15. Among those who performed their military duty in Afghanistan.
The event began with a minute of silence in memory of those who did not return alive from Afghanistan. On February 15, 1989, the last unit of the USSR's 40th Army left this republic. The withdrawal of the Soviet contingent from Afghanistan began on May 14, 1988. Soviet troops were on the territory of this country for nine years, one month, and nineteen days — from 1979 to 1989.
As part of this event, a meeting was held at the Palatsyn rural library with students and participants of the Afghan war, Zhuraghotov T. and Amrenov R.
The veterans of the Afghan war shared their combat memories and expressed gratitude.
Words of recognition and gratitude were expressed to them for their courage and perseverance shown during the performance of their military duty.
The Center for Forecasting Criminal Threats and Public Security Risks of the Committee on Legal Statistics and Special Accounting of the Prosecutor General's Office is warning about a new online fraud scheme.
According to foreign sources (https://vz.ru/news/2026/1/4/1385164.html, https://www.ixbt.com/live/offtopic/mvd-predupredilo-o-vredonosnyh-zagruzkah-cherez-knizhnye-boty-v-telegram.html), scammers are distributing malicious files on Telegram under the guise of free e-books.
The scam is extremely simple: You receive a message on Telegram about access to a large library of books without restrictions.
After you request the desired edition, a bot, imitating a real service, creates a brief description of the book's plot, but instead of reading or downloading the book, it sends you a malicious file disguised as a "special application."
Installing this file can have critical consequences: theft of passwords and money, access to messages and photos, remote control of the smartphone, and loss of personal data.
It's important to remember that installing third-party apps from unofficial sources can have negative consequences.
Cyber hygiene and personal vigilance remain key measures to protect against such threats.

The peace and development of society depend primarily on law and order. Law is a system of rules established by the state that are mandatory for all citizens to follow. Order is the strict implementation of these laws and the adherence to the norms of behavior that are in line with the requirements of society.
Where there is law and order, there is justice, peace, and security. Conversely, when laws are violated and order is not maintained, anarchy and chaos ensue. Therefore, it is essential for every citizen to respect the law and take responsibility for their actions.
A round table entitled "What is the Right to Privacy?" was prepared and held at the Palattsyn Rural Library.
The Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the country's main public holidays, celebrated annually on October 25. This date symbolizes the proclamation of the Declaration on the State Sovereignty of Kazakhstan, which was adopted on October 25, 1990.
The document marked a significant step towards independence. In 2022, the holiday regained its official status as a public holiday, emphasizing its importance for the Kazakh people.
On October 25, a festive event was prepared and held, "Güldene ber, menің Qazaqstanym!", with congratulations and musical performances.
Every year, on October 1, the International Day of Older Persons is celebrated around the world, including in Kazakhstan. The country has more than 2.5 million pensioners. Ensuring a dignified retirement for every citizen is a top priority of the Government's social policy.
The state consistently takes measures to protect the older generation, including measures aimed at improving the pension system.
According to paragraph 3 of Article 197 of the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the annual increase in the amount of retirement and seniority pensions is carried out in the amount established for the corresponding financial year by the Law "On the Republican Budget".
As of January 1, 2025, the amount of solidarity pensions has been increased by 8.5%, and the amount of the basic pension has been indexed in accordance with the change in the minimum subsistence level.
On behalf of the Head of State, the gradual increase in the amount of the basic pension continues. As of January 1, 2025, the minimum amount of the basic pension has increased from 65% to 70% of the minimum subsistence level, and the maximum amount has increased from 105% to 110%.
At the same time, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan is implementing measures to support the elderly, improve their social services, and involve them in public life.
There are 127 active longevity centers in the country. In 2025, the total amount of funds allocated from local budgets for their operation is 7.5 billion tenge.
The active longevity centers operate on a one-stop basis in three areas: active longevity, health culture, and public relations. The centers' activities are aimed at improving the quality of life for the elderly, promoting productive and active longevity, including the organization of systematic leisure activities (yoga, Nordic walking, digital literacy, motivational and entrepreneurial courses, English language courses, etc.), and ensuring independence and participation in the life of Kazakhstani society for the elderly.
On October 1, Kazakhstan will launch a month-long campaign dedicated to the Day of the Elderly. Regional, city, and district akims, as well as heads of enterprises and organizations, will organize social support events for older citizens, meetings in workplaces, open days in outpatient clinics, and more.
As a reminder, the International Day of the Elderly was proclaimed at the 45th session of the United Nations General Assembly
on December 14, 1990.
The main goal of this event is to show respect and recognition for the contributions of older people to the state and society, as well as to draw attention to their problems and needs, the need to improve their quality of life, and to show universal care for them.

malefactors are sending fake
violations of the Traffic Regulations en masse. Letters and
messages come to e-mail and messengers and contain
the data of drivers, car numbers and a link to "pay the fine".
In fact, this is a phishing attack. When entering bank card data, full access to your account is provided and all
funds can be stolen. In some cases, the link contains a virus to steal
personal data from the device.
To date, attacks have already been recorded in Russia and the USA,
therefore there is a risk of the spread of such a scheme in Kazakhstan.
Please note that official notifications about administrative fines
are sent only from the short number 1414 and do not contain payment links. Information about fines is also
sent via egov.kz and mobile banking apps.
If you receive a message about a fine from the 1414 number with a payment link, do not click on it! This is a scam! These messages are sent by fraudsters!
РWe recommend that: - do not follow links or open attachments from
questionable emails; - double-check information about fines only on official resources
egov.kz , qamqor.gov .kz and in mobile applications of banks.
If you have already clicked on the link and entered the data: - immediately block the bank card; - inform the bank and the police at 102 about
a possible fraud; - Check your device for a virus.
Stay alert. Warn your loved ones. Don't give the scammers a chance!

Let us recall that according to the National Fund for Children program, 50% of the investment income of the National Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan is distributed once a year among children who are citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who were born in 2006 and later. For 2023, all recipients of the TS were credited with 100.52 US dollars, for 2024 - 129.38 US dollars. Children who received the first funds from the National Fund in 2023, with the exception of persons born in 2006, were credited with investment income in the amount of 3.04 US dollars this year. As a result, the target savings of a child born in 2006 amount to 100.52 US dollars, and those born in 2007 - 232.94 US dollars.
Adult citizens must independently obtain information about their TS through their personal account on the UAPF or e-government Internet resources, and then contact an authorized operator to open a bank account in US dollars and submit an online application for TS payment to improve housing conditions and (or) pay for education.
