The Situation in Russia Raises Concerns in Kazakhstan. The recent developments in Russia have caused worry in Kazakhstan and stirred public opinion. Views from political analysts, lawyers, and human rights activists were gathered, Daryo.uz correspondent reports.
Political analyst Gaziz Abishev expressed his opinion on his Telegram channel, stating that the Russian leadership should not turn to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) to maintain constitutional order, as it would be "quite absurd."
"The unfolding situation proves how tactically, strategically, and historically accurate Kazakhstan's position is. It is crucial to preserve ourselves while storms rage around us," continued Gaziz Abishev.
On the other hand, political analyst Dosym Satpayev believes that this move significantly damages the reputation of the Russian authorities. He referred to the situation in Russia as "good news" and called the country "Mordor."
"One side, having lost in the palace games for Putin's attention, decided to draw attention to itself through a show of force. It doesn't matter how long the military revolt of Uruk-hai Prihodina will last; it might be crushed soon. Perhaps a purge will even begin among his secret supporters within Putin's circle, whom he relied upon," wrote Satpayev on his Facebook page.
He emphasized that it is equally interesting to consider what will happen to Russia after Vladimir Putin's departure, particularly highlighting that "even now, part of his entourage is grabbing weapons in the struggle for power and attention."
Satpayev believes that Kazakhstan should already prepare for any negative scenarios regarding the situation with its nuclear-armed northern neighbor.
"Putin has received what he has been carefully nurturing and cherishing for 25 years, just like Nazarbayev," expressed human rights activist Bakhytzhan Toregozhina on Facebook.
Popular lawyer and blogger Yerzhan Esimkhanov also shared his opinion. He discussed the reasons behind the PMC (Private Military Company) uprising and reflected on the mistakes made by the Russian authorities.
"The Prigozhin uprising is entirely justified. It was bred by the very same hands that Prigozhin is currently fighting against. When you create an organization that answers to no one but yourself, exempt from any rules, sooner or later, the leaders of that organization will question why they should submit to anyone at all. It remains unclear how all of this will end. For now, it is simply an uprising, and as an old poem says, 'an uprising cannot end in success; a successful one is called something else.' Moreover, all of this is happening in another country and only indirectly affects us," wrote Esimkhanov on his Telegram channel.
