 | | Some 3,000 people took part in protests in Almaty, after Gennadi Kolbin, an ethnic Russian, was appointed First Secretary of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, replacing the Dinmukhamed Kunayev, an ethnic Kazakh. |
 | | Kolbin was transferred to Moscow, and Nursultan Nazarbayev, an ethnic Kazakh who had been the Chairman of Council of Ministers since March 1984 was appointed First Secretary of the CPK. |
 | | Nevertheless the two countries seem to be already having an increasingly uneasy relationship, largely because of the considerable Russian population still living in Kazakhstan. |
