Pallas's cats rarely live more than 5 years in the wild. In zoos under human care Pallas's cats live longer. Karaganda lived a long and happy manul-life in comfort and being loved.

Unfortunately Karaganda is not with us anymore. He passed away in the winter of 2025–2026, he was fifteen years old.

Kazakhstan: Miners strike, occupy eight mines of transnational ArcelorMittal

ASTANA, Dec 12 (Reuters) - A sit-in by miners of ArcelorMittal's Kazakh unit widened to all of the firm's coal mines on Tuesday, the company said, as hundreds of workers demanded a 100 percent wage rise.

ArcelorMittal Temirtau, the Central Asian nation's biggest steel mill, said it was in talks with the miners. It did not say how the strike could affect its output.

The protest started on Monday when miners refused to leave four of the company's eight mines. On Tuesday, the firm said all eight mines had stopped producing coal.

Coal Miners Declare Strike in Plea For Higher Pay, Better Conditions

More than 600 coal miners in Kazakhstan’s Karaganda region have gone on strike in a demand for higher salaries and an improvement to working conditions.

On December 11, laborers at four mines owned by ArcelorMittal Temirtau declared that they would refuse to leave the work site at the end of their shift, the Karaganda regional administration said.

Labor and Social Protection Minister Tamara Duseinova told reporters that the main demand coming from workers was for a twofold increase to salaries. Duseinova said that minimum salaries at ArcelorMittal Temirtau vary between $620 and $980, depending on the department.

Workers are also demanding medical coverage, an upgrade of their equipment and the lowering of the retirement age to 50. The average retirement age in Kazakhstan begins from 63 for men and 58 for women, although that figure tends to be lower for those working in heavy industry.

The wives of some of the striking workers have reportedly said that their husbands are owned several months worth of unpaid bonuses. They also complained that prices for groceries in Shakhtinsk, the city where ArcelorMittal Temirtau is based, are higher then the rest of the region.
