After the collapse of the USSR the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic was the last country to announce its sovereignty in the post-Soviet Union space. The country finally gained status as an independent democratic state having all the sovereignty in its territory and determining its foreign and internal policy independently. YE/IINA
