Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the day when a country with a deep history once again became a sovereign state in a new era. Independence Day is celebrated every year on December 16. On December 16, festive cultural and entertainment events will be held in all corners of Kazakhstan. In the evening, the sky of major centers is covered with fireworks. Independence is a significant holiday not only for residents of Kazakhstan, but also for representatives of the Kazakh people abroad. In 1991, the USSR collapsed, and the countries of the Union became independent states. Kazakhstan was among them. On December 16, 1991, the Supreme Council of Kazakhstan adopted the law "On Independence and State Sovereignty". It should be noted that Kazakhstan was the last among the USSR countries to adopt the Law on Independence. This law, together with the Declaration of Independence of Kazakhstan, adopted on October 25, 1990, strengthened the country of the Kazakh nation.
