The Internet, October 14, 2009. Yandex opens a portal for Kazakhstan. On www.yandex.kz all the main Yandex services targeted at Kazakhstan users are presented.

For example, at the request of [the president], the first search result on yandex.kz was about Nursultan Nazarbayev, and at yandex.ru was about Dmitry Medvedev, at the request of [currency rate] yandex.kz shows the dollar rate to tenge (and not the ruble). The users can choose the language of communication with the search themselves - the search results pages are also available in Kazakh.
