Every year on May 31, millions of people in Kazakhstan are remembered as victims of political repression and famine in the 1930s. This is a tragic chapter of history that has affected almost every Kazakh family. Thousands of people were wrongfully convicted, exiled, or shot. At the same time, the country experienced a devastating famine that claimed the lives of up to 2 million people. This day is a reminder of the price that the people paid for the right to live freely. The memory of these events is important for future generations. The President has repeatedly stressed the importance of historical memory and the need to preserve the truth about the tragedies of the past for the sake of a just future.
