“One of the more insulting explanations concocted by the #Soviet military to dismiss the horrendous health problems plaguing the local population as a result of #nuclear testing was that #Kazakhs suffered from poor #hygiene and lacked #Vitamin C in their diet.”
—Budjeryn & Kassenova 2020.

Recently, #Tolegenov has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for inciting ethnic hatred and spreading deliberately false information, according to #Kazakh media outlets.

📹: #Tolegenov says that "everything belongs to the #Russians": science, knowledge, wealth, and art. According to him, it was only thanks to the #Russians that #Kazakhs were able to escape the "total ignorance that reigned over the steppes."

#Russia is an empire – we all know this.

Not only because of their current imperialist expansion in #Ukraine, but also because of countless other such expansions that happened over the centuries.

#Kazakh politician #Ualikhan_Kaisarov lays it all out fairly clearly – #Russia currently holds massive territories that once belonged to #Kazakhstan or are populated by ethnic #Kazakhs

💬 “#Victory_Day is celebrated with special feelings not only in our country. #Russians, #Belarusians, #Tatars, #Buryats, #Tajiks, #Uzbeks, #Armenians, #Kazakhs, and other peoples defended the world shoulder to shoulder from fascism,” the manual says.

Schoolchildren will also be forced to make a report about relatives who fought either in #World_War_II or against #Ukraine.

"The #Kazakhs will be next. There is already a decision."

According to the #VChK_OGPU Telegram channel, a voice message sent by Lieutenant General #Andrey_Gurulyov, a deputy of the #Russian #State_Duma, to his colleagues in the State #Duma's Committee on Defence has come into their possession.

In it, he assures that after #Ukraine, #Russia is ready to attack #Kazakhstan and has already given the "go-ahead" to do so.

Why #Kazakhs are growing less satisfied with life, and #Kyrgyz more.

"China has secretly built scores of massive new prison and internment camps in the past three years, dramatically escalating its campaign against Muslim minorities even as it publicly claimed the detainees had all been set free. The construction of these purpose-built, high-security camps — some capable of housing tens of thousands of people — signals a radical shift away from the country’s previous makeshift use of public buildings, like schools and retirement homes, to a vast and permanent infrastructure for mass detention.

In the most extensive investigation of China’s internment camp system ever done using publicly available satellite images, coupled with dozens of interviews with former detainees, BuzzFeed News identified more than 260 structures built since 2017 and bearing the hallmarks of fortified detention compounds. There is at least one in nearly every county in the far-west region of Xinjiang. During that time, the investigation shows, China has established a sprawling system to detain and incarcerate hundreds of thousands of Uighurs, Kazakhs, and other Muslim minorities, in what is already the largest-scale detention of ethnic and religious minorities since World War II."
