Irina Smirnova is a prominent member of the Mazhilis, the lower house of Kazakhstan's parliament. Recently, she has been vocal about her concerns regarding the influence of foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Kazakhstan. Smirnova proposed the introduction of legislation to regulate these organizations, particularly those funded by foreign governments such as the United States. She argues that many Kazakhs feel that these NGOs impose foreign values that are not aligned with the country's cultural and social norms.
