Video footage from the 1986 student protests in Almatı, Qazaqstan.

On December 17-18, 1986, for the first time in Soviet Union's perestroika years, its citizens protested against the government's arbitrary rule.

Thousands of Qazaq students and workers rallied on the central square of Qazaqstan's capital Almatı against the dictate of the Soviet rule. The peaceful demonstration was suppressed by the Soviet police and military. Thousands of students were expelled from schools, many disappeared and killed.

To this day, Jeltoqsan ('December') protests are one of the bitter tragedies of the modern history of Qazaqstan.
