Against the backdrop of rapidly developing events in Kazakhstan, even the events of last year already seem to be history.
Year 2022. Beginning. The main events of the first days, at least for the post-Soviet space, were mass protests in Kazakhstan, hostilities, and the removal by President Tokayev of the “life-long” post of the head of the Kazakh Security Council, Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Against the background of rapidly developing events in the Republic of Kazakhstan, even the events of last year already seem history.
In the material, we recall what important events the year 2021 entered into this very story. It is hardly possible to list all significant events. Let's highlight some of them.
One of the most resonant - Russian demands on the United States and NATO for the provision of legally binding security guarantees. A simultaneous demand is a rejection of further NATO expansion, a rejection of the deployment of NATO strike weapons near the borders of Russia.

The past year is the year of the fight against the virus. In this, he was not much different from 2020, except that there are more than 75 million vaccinated citizens in Russia.
The event of the year for Russia is the completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
