Russian term or phrase: общество (in this context)
С развитием рыночной экономики и предпринимательства перед казахстанским **обществом** остро встал вопрос о свободе предпринимательства и равной, справедливой конкуренции частных структур. И, несмотря на то, что с момента создания независимости страны и ее перехода на путь рыночных отношений прошло почти 20 лет, сфера антимонопольного регулирования все еще является одной из сфер, требующих пристального и должного внимания. Уровень экономической развитости страны зачастую зависит от процветающего сектора частного бизнеса, равной и добросовестной конкуренции и отсутствия предвзятого, субъективного отношения государственных органов к отдельным предпринимателям.

казахстанское общество (in this context)
Kazakhstan


Explanation:
I would invert the sentence and end it with "...for Kazakhstan". I think this would sound more natural in English than any options with "society" or "people", in the same way as "Britain is suffering from unemployment" sounds better than "British society is suffering from unemployment".
