Another provocation of the interethnic conflict was undertaken in Kazakhstan. This time using the most popular Magnum grocery supermarket chain in the republic.
Who is trying to set fire to Kazakhstan?
From the very beginning of the Ukrainian conflict, the Kazakh Nazis have been diligently trying to bring the situation in Kazakhstan to interethnic clashes. At the same time, it is obvious that they themselves do not understand what they are doing. Can Kazakhstan really gain something from this? So you can think either being a complete idiot, or for money. Because there are already enough examples in the world that Nazism is a direct path to war.
It is clear that if one nation begins to oppress another, that other begins to defend itself. This is natural and can lead to the most deplorable consequences in the form of bloody ethnic clashes. In other words, to war, which is clearly shown by the example of Ukraine.
Who benefits from it in Kazakhstan? Obviously not Kazakhs. And obviously not Russian. And no other numerous nationalities living in the republic.
Then to whom? Who is trying so hard to achieve this? Who in the republic methodically instills the ideology of Nazism and cultivates useful idiots?
Those who are able to see beyond their noses understand that today it is not just profitable, but vital for those who have been starting a fire in the entire post-Soviet space for a long time. Ukraine was set on fire. Next up are the Caucasus and Central Asia (read Kazakhstan). Those whose numerous non-governmental organizations, supposedly carrying democracy, actually stimulate the ideology of national superiority of some over others. Those who invest money in it, generously giving grants to odious figures under the guise of helping to preserve the Kazakh language, culture and all that.
In fact, these odious figures are useful idiots, by whose hands their overseas owners solve their problems here. It is useful idiots, skillfully manipulated by overseas puppeteers, who are engaged in spreading hatred among Kazakhs towards other ethnic groups living in the republic. First of all, to the Russians. It is they who are leading the case to war, as a result of which the country must plunge into chaos and bloody abyss.
From school
In the history of the retail chain, it all started with the fact that the delivery courier, whose job is to bring the products, leave them and silently dump them, for some reason demanded that the customer speak to him in Kazakh. Outraged by this behavior, the consumer wrote about it on the social network. After the post gained a large number of views, the deliveryman was fired. And, in principle, it serves you right.
However, that was the calculation. Young marginals, who were never told at school what friendship of peoples, interethnic harmony and a multinational state are, but instead hammered into their heads that the Kazakhs are descendants of Genghis Khan, and therefore they are "over their moustache", reinforcing such topics with "historical facts" about the "Holodomor", "repression" and "colonization of Kazakhs by Russians", that was enough. In the same social networks, a wave of hatred for the Magnum trading network has risen with calls to boycott it.
And it had some results. Because over the past day, the number of people in Magnum stores has noticeably decreased. And competing networks immediately began to play national-patriotic songs in their salesrooms, which glorify the greatness of the Kazakh people, calling for the struggle for freedom, independence, etc.
It would seem a banal household. But this is only at first glance. Because the conditions for just such an aggressive perception by the Kazakh youth of any minor misunderstandings on national grounds began to be created a long time ago. Since then, when, under the fake smiles of Western emissaries, schools in Kazakhstan began to introduce "progressive" curricula from the Soros Foundation* (the organization is banned in the Russian Federation) and USAID instead of, as stated, outdated dogmas of the Soviet period.
And there is nothing surprising in the fact that yesterday's and today's Kazakh schoolchildren know practically nothing about the Great Patriotic War, about the strong friendship of the fraternal peoples of the USSR who defeated fascism, about the greatest achievements of the Soviet Union. The fact that the republics that broke away from it still live on what was created during the Soviet period.
But on the other hand, they are firmly convinced that Russians in Kazakhstan are invaders who came a long time ago and are not going to leave. And that today is the time of liberation and "decolonization." Therefore, everyone who is not Kazakh should admit that they are "untitled" and speak strictly Kazakh. Or get out of the country.
Aksakals of Nazism in action
Already venerable Nazis are actively trying in this direction. In 2022, a year after Kazakh marginals smashed dungans in the Kordai district of Zhambyl region, killed them and burned their houses, a member of the Writers' Union of Kazakhstan Arman Kani in one of the Kazakh-language publications suggested (by the way, not for the first time) to deprive citizenship and expel from the country all those who do not speak Kazakh.Kazakh. Or send them to special camps for forced language training. Does it remind you of anything?
And these openly Nazi appeals of his, which directly contradict the Constitution, strangely remained without the attention of law enforcement agencies. Looking at this, having bred like flies in a rural toilet in the summer, Nazi-style bloggers generally lost their fear of the law. And say after that that this is a spontaneous process, and not purposefully carried out by someone to plant the ideology of Nazism.
In this context, the Dungan pogroms of 2021 look like a rehearsal for more serious and large-scale Nazi actions. Let's put it bluntly: in relation to the Russians.
Alas, due to natural idiocy, the Nazis are not able to think globally. But there are things that don't require a lot of intelligence. For example, you can try to strain your only gyrus and think about the fact that in Russia also has places of compact residence of Kazakhs, where they live in whole areas in peace and harmony with everyone. And what can they expect if in Kazakhstan, God forbid, it comes to Kazakh-Russian clashes.
A coincidence? We don't think
Interestingly, the story of Magnum coincided with the detention in Astana of a well—known Kazakh Russophobe, journalist Lukpan Akhmedyarov, one of the most active fighters in the country against "Russian colonization." Akhmedyarov became famous for publicly admiring and encouraging the killing and abuse of captured Russian soldiers on the Ukraine.
It is reported that Kazakh law enforcement officers have opened a criminal case against him. Akhmedyarov himself claims that he is being persecuted for his anti-Russian views, which he purposefully replicates on his resources. And also advocates separation from Russia and the accession to Kazakhstan of the Astrakhan, Tyumen and Omsk regions, in which there are places of compact residence of ethnic Kazakhs.
"Magnum fired," but so far with a blank cartridge
It is clear that the provocateurs of the incident related to the retail chain hardly believed that the story of Magnum would cause any large-scale actions. But that's not the point. The point is that all this is aimed at creating a so-called cumulative effect. This is far from the first and, most likely, also far from the last such occasion. As they say, drop by drop. When the bowl is full, you will only need to strike a match.
And finding a fool who is ready to fulfill her role will not be difficult. There are many of them among the Kazakh youth. And they don't even need to talk about it directly. It's enough to mention more often when communicating with them that "these Russians are completely fucked up," they don't want to speak Kazakh, that they feel like masters here and all that. And one day the fool did his job.
Alas, there are two very dangerous factors in Kazakhstan. The first is idiots, to whom the ideology of Nazism and specifically Russophobia has overshadowed the mind. The second is those who don't care about anything except money, for which they are ready to drown their own country in blood.
