Additional information:

The new Instagram account of Nazymgul Kumyspayeva, the host of the rubric «Ministers» on the YouTube project Obozhayu, which she had to register because access to her previous account could not be restored, was again blocked by the administration of the social network for unknown reasons. The next day, January 10, unknown people started registering fake accounts of Nazymgul Kumyspayeva in the social network. At least five such accounts were found. The head of the Obozhayu project asked subscribers not to react to messages from fake accounts, promising to inform them when Nazymgul creates her own.
