Holidays of Kazakhstan - Day of the State Security Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan

On April 21, 2014, in accordance with the instructions of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the reorganization of two services took place. The Presidential Security Service has become one with the Republican Guard. This is how the State Security Service was born, and less than a month later it was decided at the state level to declare April 21 as State Security Day. Since then, a festive concert dedicated to this day is held annually in the capital of Kazakhstan. For the president, presence at this concert has already become a tradition. The state security of the Republic of Kazakhstan is an elite force. To get there you need to be not just the best, but the best of the best. Here are some requirements for applicants:• no criminal record, including relatives;• above average height (180-190 cm);• no excess weight;• good physical fitness;• resistance to stress. Unlike other branches of the military, the State Security Service has the only commander to whom it reports, the president. It is the protection and security of the first person of the state during important events that is the responsibility of the military personnel of this unit. In addition, they are entrusted with an important mission - protecting the symbols of presidential power, which, in addition to the inauguration, the head of state wears at all important events of national importance. The State Security Service takes part in military parades, in ceremonial meetings of the heads of other countries at the plane's ramp and meets foreign guests at the Akorda presidential residence. The State Security Service also includes a brass band, which is present at meetings of foreign delegations, performing the anthems of their countries. And on April 21, especially for their professional holiday, brass band musicians demonstrate their skills at a festive concert dedicated to the Day of the State Security Service.
