Engagement
16 posts held, back to 20 October 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 11 July 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
31 reactions across 11 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 77.4% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 24 | 77.4% | |
| ⚡ | 6 | 19.4% | |
| 👏 | 1 | 3.23% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 11 of the 16 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 31 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 20 October 2024 to 11 July 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Inside Kazakhstan is launching another new column, INSIDE Data Visuals, where we turn raw data into visuals that speak. Our opening edition explores the effects of President Trump’s recently imposed tariffs on Kazakhstan’s exports to the United States. The Kazakhstani Ministry of Trade and Integration has indicated that tariffs apply to only 4.8% of exported goods, suggesting that the economy would be largely unaffe…

ISSUE 5.1 [March 4, 2025] Local representative bodies, Maslikhats, are supposed to serve as a check on local executive branches (Akimats), yet what we often observe is the reverse. Among the explanations are the absence of a clear legal separation of powers, indications of informal ties reinforcing executive dominance, and low citizen participation in holding local deputies accountable. Against this backdrop, how mu…

ISSUE 4 [October 3, 2024] In Kazakhstan, a centralized system keeps local governments more accountable to higher authorities than to their communities, limiting their capacity for effective self-governance. Despite an institutional commitment to decentralization since 2012, tangible progress only occurred recently, most notably marked by the 2021 introduction of direct elections for rural akims (local government hea…

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @inside_kazakhstan. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
