Politics Riots in Kazakhstan - jan 2022

[1645556315]

In totalitarian regimes, not everyone is trusted or deemed reliable to the same degree.

Perhaps this org wasn’t trusted, or fully trusted with firearms, firearms with firing pins, and/or firearms with firing pins and live ammunition.

You don’t want units with possible risk of defection doing so armed.

Sometimes less than 100% trusted units only get batons or equivalent, while trusted regime continuity units stay a tactical bound behind prepared to execute the slaughterfest.

You posted usual totalitarian crap from western propaganda here again.

Command of academy not armed cadets with firearms because they expected unarmed protests and prepared riot control measures. They tried to avoid casualties amongst both personnel and rioters by this decision.

Even in bloody totalitarian Soviet Union every army combat unit has full set of combat-ready firearms in barracks, ie every company has own firearms room.

#1 Chill out and change your tone immediately or you will be infracted.

#2 Nothing I said was incorrect as there is a long history of differentiated trust amongst military, paramilitary, and law enforcement units within totalitarian regimes throughout modern history (as well as within democratic ones especially regarding very senior national leadership to mitigate against assassination) to protect against coup, civil war, defection, etc.

Pre-89 Soviet era trust in security forces is in a different league compared to contemporary mobster totalitarian states where regime continuity is priority #1 thru #10 and trust is perpetually in short supply.

Sounds fairly totalitarian.

Sounds fairly totalitarian.

That’s more like it!

Just be civil.

 

[MartinLavin]

Kazakhstan is the same totalitarian as Turkey.

Haven't read that ^^ and wouldn't call the process in Europe decline but rather "another European metamorphose".

But back to Kazakhstan...

Whose bust is in the background?

My guess would be possibly Field Marshall Mikhail Kutuzov?

Cannot find any pictures of Zhukov's office which might give a better look at the bust


However
In Kazakhstan, a single-copy painting was painted under the title "Chess Game", which reflects four great events in world history.

The first event, the picture shows the former and current Heads of State of Russia and Kazakhstan.

The second event, in the picture, the characters are located exactly as in the famous photograph of Yuri Zhelyabuzhsky in 1908, "chess on the island", namely the events took place in Capri, at the villa of Maxim Gorky, where in a chess game, two Bolshevik revolutionaries A. Bogdanov against V. Lenin, the leader of the proletariat for the first time publicly lost to Bogdanov.

The third event, on the chessboard, the arrangement of the pieces is exactly the same as in the famous "Immortal Game" which took place in London in 1851, when the greatest grandmaster Lionel Kieseritsky, having made a mistake, lost to the German chess player Anderson, while losing the title of the best grandmaster in the world.
The fourth event, a chess game between the heads of state, takes place in the office of Victory Marshal G.K. Zhukov.
The author and owner of the picture is the Kazakh designer Arsen Seksenbaev

How is it that every frickin' time that there's a problem in the world, that idiot seems to right there, front and center, along with some questionable financial deals?!?

In my opinion it all happened in 3 steps:

1) First - local unrest because of 100+% increase in LNG prices in one of Kstan regions.
2) It was quickly used as a pretence for unrest in major cities, either by president's clan or former president's clan.
3) Then it went out of control, batshit-crazy our of control, so Kazakh president even asked for intervention.

Now all these Soros/CIA-funded shitheads all over the world (and in Ukraine in particular) are trying to fuel this fire as much as possible.
I personally do not believe it is in US interests as KStan had pretty good relations to US, but nowadays we are seeing pretty straightforward logic: "Does it hurt Russia? If it does - lets go and do it" without any regards to future outcomes.

This is by far the soundest and most believable Russian POV on the event, I've read so far.

I genuinely appreciate people like you and Иван Феоктистов contrasting all the comical nonsense, with more intelligent posts like this ^

Please, keep that up.

Medvedev.

Wait that's not the inanimate object you were asking about right? ?

 

[MartinLavin]

I'm a bit late to the party of discussing this painting... But the bust at the background seems to be Generalissimus Suvorov.

I was hesitating between Suvorov and Bagration.
