"Have some shame, dear deputy!"

The people have long stopped trusting the deputies, as they have been calling them "jepzhutat" (biting and swallowing) for quite some time. In all convocations of the Jogorku Kenesh, deputies have not distinguished themselves with anything extraordinary; they have long turned into those who live off the treasury and are satisfied with a badge. And in the current convocation, there are twice as many such deputies. The current deputies have long forgotten about conscience and always

Instead of Bishkek, NATO's representative office in Central Asia will open in Tashkent.

Kyrgyzstan, due to its geostrategic position and the keen interest from the grandmasters of world politics, has been forced to maneuver for over 20 years, pursuing a line of cooperation with various centers of influence. At the same time, it tries to at least nominally defend national priorities at the diplomatic level. In Bishkek, it is understood that a strong tilt and preference for only one vector of influence can provoke a negative reaction from competing forces in the region. Hence, there

Who is turning the Naryn River into a sewage ditch?

It is unlikely that any of us has seriously thought about where the water goes when it is poured down the sink or flushed down the toilet. What happens to the food scraps and the products of our daily activities that disappear into the pipes along with the water? Wastewater treatment today is one of those issues that requires special attention. The ecology of the modern world is so fragile and vulnerable due to the constant negative impact of human civilization on all its components that the

Dennis Wolf - a native of Kyrgyzstan

Strangely enough, the athlete Dennis Wolf, competing under the German flag, can be considered a "local guy" by the residents of the CIS.
