This annual bike race can last up to two weeks and takes participants through some of the most remote and challenging locations in Kyrgyzstan – from cold mountain passes to barren, searing valley floors.

But that anxiety quickly dissipated, as the continued emphasis on economic ties has shown.Bilateral trade between Afghanistan and Kazakhstan last year rose to $1 billion, twice as much as in 2021.

As Alisher Khamidov, a Eurasianet contributor based in Bishkek, notes in the latest edition of our EurasiaChat podcast, this may be the price for Kyrgyz officials failing to properly take heed of months of warnings from their Western partners. “The Kyrgyz government generally feels that the U.S. and EU are be...2023-07-2429 minEurasiaChatEurasiaChat: Building Central Asia's future with bricks not thoughtThat Uzbekistan’s presidential election would be won by the incumbent, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, was a given.So in this edition of the EurasiaChat podcast, Alisher Khamidov and Peter Leonard discussed how this vote came to be and what it implies for the future of Uzbekistan.The authorities insist the election was needed because of the changes made to the constitution earlier this year.“The argument that the authorities are making really is to say: ‘How can we have the same president now that we have a new constitution,’” Peter said, ventriloquizing the Uzbek authorities.

Senior U.S. officials traveled to the region in late April and issued fresh warnings about a possible fallout from enabling sanctions-busting. In Kyrgyzstan, the government is on the cusp of becoming a monopolist producer of alcohol. In April, the president announced that factories belonging to alcoholic spirit and vodka producer Ayu were being confiscated over tax violations, a...2023-05-0839 minEurasiaChatEurasiaChat: Slave labor and statelessness in Central AsiaIn our podcast this week, Alisher Khamidov and Peter Leonard discuss a Kyrgyzstan man held as a slave laborer in Kazakhstan for 32 years. His plight is party the fault of convoluted working regulations in Kazakhstan, where thousands toil without papers, making them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. This is a problem across the region, yet it rarely makes headlines or draws public indignation. How are Central Asian states responding to Western sanctions on Russia, and the carrots and sticks offered by the United States and European Union? The West doesn’t have much leverage in the region.

But how credible is the threat? And why has the group emerged now? Regional governments are good at using fears of separatism to argue that citizens must fall into line, to silence protests and democratic movements. Uzbekistan has been shaken by a horrific tale of sexual slavery in an Urgench orphanage. The perpetrators were local officials, and had gone largely unpunished until the president’s daughter, Saida Mirziyoyeva, demanded justice.

But their presence is no longer as controversial as it was last year when the sudden arrival of thousands upset local economies and stoked inflation. Central Asians watched the Putin-Xi meeting last week anxious that neighboring powers are making decisions for their region without consulting them.

Russia is more dependent on good relations with Central Asia than ever before, and China gives billions without demanding reforms. Kazakhstan, which will hold parliamentary elections this weekend, still operates by the old dictum – attributed often, though probably apocryphally – to Stalin: ‘It doesn't matter who people vote for, but only how the votes are counted.’ Our hosts are skeptical that a single-mandate system will significantly change how Kazakhstan...2023-03-1331 minEurasiaChatA year of de-Russification in Central AsiaThis week on our podcast, Aigul Adzhieva, a documentary filmmaker investigating Kyrgyzstan's epidemic of gender-based and domestic violence, discusses how the scourge is fueled by social fragmentation, the growing wealth gap, and a lack of kindness in Kyrgyz society. She and hosts Aigerim Toleukhanova and Alisher Khamidov then reflect on the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Moreover, many construction firms behind the region’s ongoing building boom are Turkish. Uzbekistan’s president, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, appeared to acknowledge the risk when he ordered a halt to residential construction in Tashkent. Are governments prepared? Ahead of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, Aigerim and Alisher unpack why this h...2023-02-1224 minEurasiaChatPutin's propagandists lose steamIn our podcast this week, hosts Aigerim Toleukhanova and Alisher Khamidov discuss attacks on Central Asian journalists, the changing impact of Russian propaganda, and Kazakhstan’s new nameless McDonald’s.

The Hated and the DeadEP70: Nursultan NazarbayevNursultan Nazarbayev served as President of Kazakhstan from 1991 until 2019. He remained a backseat driver until last year, when Kazakhstan’s biggest protests in decades finally put an end to Nazarbayev’s 35-year rule. Nazarbayev oversaw his country’s transition to independence and capitalism, and established strong relations with the United States and China. Temporarily at least, he established some semblance of order over a country many denied was coherent enough to survive, given that ethnic Russians actually outnumbered Kazakhs at the country’s founding. On the other hand, Nazarbayev had a record in elections most dictator...2023-01-2959 minEurasiaChatEurasiaChat: The failure of healthcare in Central AsiaIn our podcast this week, hosts Aigerim Toleukhanova and Alisher Khamidov discuss the connection between dangerous air pollution, unusually cold weather, and the regionwide energy crisis. Experts agree on some straightforward causes and solutions, but Kyrgyzstan’s president has his own theory and a proposal. Kazakhs often wonder if they’ll be the Kremlin’s next target. So, many were pleased at how their Foreign Ministry handled Russian outrage over some yurts in Ukraine.And as the Kyrgyz-Tajik border war becomes a frozen conflict with no one to mediate, our hosts discuss the blame game and the...2023-01-1724 minEurasiaChatEurasiaChat: When governments fail, chronicallyIn our podcast this week, hosts Aigerim Toleukhanova and Alisher Khamidov discuss growing public discontent over Central Asia’s chronic energy crisis. Why aren't authorities better prepared? One reason is that energy subsidies keep prices too low to fund infrastructure upgrades. But governments are reluctant to raise prices, afraid of provoking unrest like what happened in Kazakhstan earlier this year. Yet the cost of doing nothing is growing cynicism: "winters are long and governments are unreliable."We also hear a brief update on the Eurasian Economic Union meeting in Bishkek over the weekend, and some jokes at Be...2022-12-1426 minEurasiaChatRussian ‘relokanty’ prompt furious debates in Central AsiaIn our podcast this week, hosts Aigerim Toleukhanova and Alisher Khamidov discuss the ongoing crackdown on political dissent in Kyrgyzstan and the president's shadow parliament, which he has empowered to muffle the elected parliament. Kazakhstan’s presidential election provided few surprises; the incumbent won over 80 percent of the vote. But “against all” took second place in a showing of public anger with the staged-managed show, where there was no real choice.

The Naked PravdaRussia's peacekeeping mission in Kazakhstan and security demands in EuropeIn the past two weeks, Russia has demonstrated its capacity to project military power at different corners of its periphery, sending troops to Kazakhstan for a small but symbolic peacekeeping operation and pressing sweeping security demands in Europe, where the West has accused the Kremlin of plotting a war of aggression against Ukraine. The Naked Pravda reviews three essays by political analysts in Russia about the nation’s evolving geopolitics and speaks to two experts about the events in Kazakhstan and changing dialogue between Moscow and Washington.
