At the beginning of June 2016, direct users in Kazakhstan fell, while
bridge users simultaneously rose. Thereafter, bridge users slowly
declined.

The dip in bridge users during September was likely not related to
anything happening in Kazakhstan, but is an artifact of the changeover of
bridge authorities. See https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/metrics-
