As Ukraine in 2014. What are the threats to Kazakhstan in his attempts to form relations with the Russian Federation - the local political scientist corresponds to

Kazakhstan continues to delve into a trap of close relations with Russia at the political level against the background of its invasion of Ukraine, but does not want to be the second Belarus, told Radio NV Satpaev, Kazakhstan political scientist, candidate of political sciences. - I drew attention, recently in Kazakhstan is being discussed such a thesis that Kazakhstan 2022 is like Ukraine in 2014. We remember what happened in Ukraine in 2014.

What similarities do you see? Video of the day - the first resemblance is information security problems. For many years, we have been demanding from the Kazakh authorities to finally make a decision to reduce the speech of Russian propaganda channels, which are now felt at home in the Kazakhstan information field.

In general, I think it is a kind of analogue of "state of betrayal", because for many years Nazarbayev actively tortured in the asphalt Kazakhist opposition media structures, which, incidentally, defended the national interests of Kazakhstan. But at the same time they opened the gates for the propaganda channels of Russia, and they now strongly influence part of public opinion in Kazakhstan about war in Ukraine.

Of course, these are great risks from the point of view of the fifth column and in terms of influence on the electoral moods of part of the Kazakhstan. We will not forget about the presence of fifth columns, perhaps in the structures of state power, in law enforcement agencies, because it is a very serious and dangerous factor in general for the state, where part of the population, as I said repeatedly, lives in Kazakhstan, and my head - in Russia.
