Russians are extremely dissatisfied with the recent, April 1, statement by one of the leaders of Kazakhstan that Kazakhstan will not help Russia circumvent sanctions
Distraught Kazakhstan turns into a second Ukraine
Annotation
Kazakhstan, you're crazy. Recovery can be painful.
A video of a rally in Kyrgyzstan was widely distributed in telegram channels, where an ardent young man explained the need to refuse to support the Russian Federation, withdraw from the EAEU, the CSTO and urgently demonstrate his loyalty to the West and the United States. The main object of fear of the young Kyrgyz was, of course, the sanctions that the powerful West could declare to his country. A young man may not know that Kyrgyzstan economically depends not so much on Western countries as on the Russian Federation, and even more so on the money transfers that migrant workers send to Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyz working in the Russian Federation understand this perfectly well, but they are in no hurry to condemn their comrade. They also express their discontent, connected with fears that Russian migrants (refugees) from Donbass will take their jobs and they, the Kyrgyz, will have to go home. This clearly shows the dependence of both Kyrgyzstan and the Kyrgyz themselves on the Russian labor market, but for some reason does not affect the level of support for Russia during a special military operation. At least nothing was heard from representatives of the Kyrgyz Congress about the condemnation of the participants of this rally in Kyrgyzstan.
Kazakhstan also "pleases". In August 2021, Limon residents held an action at his embassy called "Distraught Kazakhstan", during which banners with Russophobic statements of Kazakh national liberal Margulan Boranbai, organizer of "language patrols" Kuat Akhmetov, Askar Umarov were hung on fences.
The latter is notable not so much for a number of derogatory statements addressed to the Russian people, as for the fact that after the suppression of the January 2022 troubles by the CSTO troops, he unexpectedly became Minister of Information in the new government. Another Russophobe, Yerlan Karin, who is associated with the Kazakh "Gray Wolves" and took the post of Secretary of State of Kazakhstan, joined the ranks of the new elite. All this has been somewhat forgotten, erased against the background of a high, oversaturated news and events information agenda. Against the background of fighting in Ukraine, sugar shortage, sanctions and economic war, the statement of the deputy head of the Presidential Administration of Kazakhstan Timur Suleimenov that Kazakhstan will comply with sanctions against Russia was loudly voiced.
De facto, this means the complete bankruptcy of the ideas of the Eurasian Economic Union, or rather, confirms what analysts have been saying for a long time: the EAEU is needed by the Asian republics solely as a tool for obtaining bonuses from Russia — access to banks and credit lines, labor, commodity and raw materials markets. When it comes to any efforts on their part, about any costs, cries of indignation and demands for "compensation" immediately begin.
Another nail in the coffin of our economic union is the declaration "On the East—West Trans—Caspian Corridor" signed by the leadership of Kazakhstan in Tbilisi. We are talking about cooperation in the field of energy flows, alternative to Russian ones, albeit at the level of declarations for now.
Russophobia, which has been quietly but effectively nurtured in Kazakhstan all these years, has yielded abundant fruits that ripened against the background of events in Ukraine (it is not for nothing that the odious Kuat Akhmetov fled not to anywhere, but to Ukraine). Kazakh Nazis are no longer shy in expressing their frank attitude towards Russians and determining their place in Kazakhstan. Moreover, the authorities, recently rescued from the "beards" by the troops of the CSTO and the Russian Federation, condone this in every possible way: for example, they legalized the desire to create their own party of the near-state nationalist Mukhtar Taizhan, who kissed the odious Ukrainian Nazi Oleg Tyagnibok.

Pro—Ukrainian rallies are held in Kazakhstan, and supporters of Russia (for example, owners of cars with the symbol Z) are persecuted or fired for a post on social networks - such as, for example, an employee of the Mikhail Lermontov Russian Drama Theater, assistant director Artem Shchurov. Russian russians are Russian people, but obviously they don't have the courage or conscience. It's all the more sad that they fired a Russian person from the Russian theater.
However, these are at least actors (I recall Kolchak's sacramental expression about actors, coachmen and prostitutes), but how do you understand the former officer Konstantin Avershin, who fired the instructor Olga Aksenkina from the club with the loud name "I have the Honor", who spoke out in support of the Russian special operation in social networks? How much is your Honor for sale, Mr. Avershin? Apparently, inexpensive.
The active harassment of Lyubov Panova, the host of Europe Plus Kazakhstan, also began, again — for supporting Russia in social networks. She was also fired (forced to resign), and now they are threatening to initiate criminal proceedings under the familiar article "for inciting discord." In such circumstances, it would be extremely naive to hope for the release of openly pro-Russian blogger Ermek Taychibekov.
Kazakh media were flooded with Russophobic speakers and experts. At the same time, Russian TV channels were turned off on February 28, not hiding that the reason for this is their coverage of the special operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. Channel One, NTV, Rossiya 24, Rossiya 1, Zvezda and MIR 24 have been disconnected indefinitely. Instead of them, the Kazakh state TV channel "Khabar 24" will now broadcast.
Humanitarian aid to Ukraine is being collected in Kazakhstan, but at the same time local special services are persecuting citizens for collecting aid for Donbass.
There is no freedom of speech in Kazakhstan, as well as equality and democracy, which is proved not only by the advice to "stick your tongue in", but also by anti-Armenian, anti-Dungan pogroms. As a result, exactly the same Russophobic "Ukraine" was formed on our southern borders, with the only difference that Kazakhs do not need to prove to themselves their non-Russianness. Although the need to invent a story and impose a language — first of all, to their own, Kazakhs, remained.
