This study examines the reflections of Kazakhstan's independence process (1985-1991) in the British press. It particularly focuses on the effects of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the policies of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (restructuring) implemented by Gorbachev. The research analyzes how The Independent, representing left-liberal circles, and The Times, representing right-conservative circles, informed the public and their perspectives on Kazakhstan's independence process. The attitudes of both newspapers towards nationalist movements and independence demands in Kazakhstan have been evaluated in conjunction with the policies of the Soviet Union. As a result, it has been revealed that the British press reflected developments in Kazakhstan primarily through ethnic and religious dimensions, viewing independence movements as local political events.
