know, I think we need to see it from that point of view that it's not maybe so much about that demographic. Well, my understanding, so the superficial story that we've been presented here with is that the protests began actually outside of the capital in a smaller city, which itself has in some ways higher prices for certain basic commodities that people need to live from what I understand that has something to do with transport prices, etc. But gas prices spiked in general across the country and there in particular. And that spike in gas prices, which are extremely low in Kazakhstan, I think it's like, what is it, like 12 cents a liter or something? Traditionally, it's something like that. 14 at the moment. 14, there you go. So, and for Americans, that's like 50 cents a gallon or something like that. So, gas prices spiked, that was the initial reason for the protests. Give me a sense of what was that sort of spark, and why was the government held responsible for that? And then how did (18/39)
