Abstract
The mass demonstrations of workers that took place in the Soviet Kazakhstan in the city of Shymkent, is considered one of the largest during the reign of Leonid Brezhnev. The prerequisites of the Shymkent uprising, which took place from June 13 to June 14, 1967, were social reasons. The reason for the mass riots in Shymkent, which the totalitarian government hid in every possible way, was the aggravation of the confrontation between the population and law enforcement officers, the increase in the number of prisons, correctional institutions, crimes convicted in this large city in the south of Kazakhstan. The Soviet punitive apparatus ruthlessly punished those who were active in mass riots, as well as purged police officers who had escaped by abandoning their work.
