How the European Union is advancing its agenda in Central Asia - Kazakhstan's role in interregional cooperation
In light of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the nations of Central Asia have gained renewed importance for the European Union.For the EU, the chief imports from the region are energy and raw materials, including oil from Kazakhstan. The EU seeks to increase its engagement in these sectors and in October 2022 signed a memorandum of understanding with Kazakhstan on access to critical raw materials. Oil and gas are crucial for European countries to diversify their supplies away from Russia. An increase in Kazakh oil may be an attractive option for the EU....

Kazakhstan One Year After "Bloody January"
2022 was a turbulent year for Kazakhstan. In early January, anti-government protests erupted across the country. The resulting clashes between police and demonstrators led to thousands of arrests and left more than 200 people dead. In response, President Kassym-Jomart Tokaev promised political reforms. Tokaev also quickly began distancing himself (in public, at least) from his predecessor Nursultan Nazarbayev. Kazakhstan has faced further challenges in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Since September, thousands of Russians fleeing military mobilisation have arrived in Kazakhstan and a wave of inflation is spelling uncertainty for the economic future of the country. I...

Сендер оны қабылдап, сенімдерің нығайып келді. 2 Егер оны дәл мен уағыздағандай берік ұстансаңдар, осы Ізгі хабар арқылы құтқарыласыңдар; әйтпесе оған бекерге сенгендерің. 3 Менің қабылдап алып, сендерге жеткізген ең басты хабарым мынау болды: Киелі жазбаларда алдын ала айтылғандай, Мәсіх біздің күнәларымыздың құнын өтеу үшін жанын құрбан етті. 4 Осы жазбалардың тағы алдын ала айтып кеткеніндей, Мәсіх қабірге қойылып, үшінші күні қайта тірілді. 5 Ол Кефаға (яғни Петірге), содан кейін он екі елшінің бәріне көрінді.※ 6 Мұнан соң Оны бес жүзден аса бауырластарымыз да бір мезгілде өз көздерімен көрді: олардың көпшілігі әлі тірі, біразы ғана қайтыс болды. 7 Содан кейін Мәсіх Жақыпқа,※ сондай-ақ барлық елшілеріне көрінді. 8 Бәрінен кейін, дер кезінде жаңа өмірге дайын болмаған※ мен де Мәсіхті өз көзіммен көрдім. 9 Елшілердің ішіндегі ең лайықсызымын, елші деп аталуға да тұрмаймын, себебі мен Құдайдың қауымын қуғындадым. 10 Бірақ та Құдайдың рақымымен қазір қандай болсам, сондай болдым. Оның рақымы бойымда бекер болған да емес. Қайта, басқалардың барлығынан көп еңбек еттім, ал шын мәнісінде мен өзім емес, маған жар болған Құдайдың рақымы еңбектенді. 11 Мен бе, әлде өзгелер ме, бәрібір, біз жариялаған, сендер сенген Ізгі хабар — осы.

An Uprising in Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is Central Asia’s largest country: this former Soviet republic has worked to chart its own course in a restive region, navigating the geopolitical tensions of its over thirty year existence. Much of that period occurred under longtime leader Nursultan Nazarbayev. That was, until the dawn of 2022. Mass protests in Kazakhstan began peacefully, with marchers denouncing a sharp rise in fuel prices. The scope and the agenda of the demonstrations expanded quickly from the western part of Kazakhstan to more populous areas, eventually reaching the largest city of Almaty and the capital Nur-Sultan. Large crowds vented their frustration wi...

The Kazakhstan Protests & Russia's Standoff With the West | Joanna Lillis
In Episode 228 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Kazakhstan-based journalist Joanna Lillis, author of “Dark Shadows: Inside the Secret World of Kazakhstan,” about the recent protests and unrest that unfolded in Kazakhstan over the past two weeks and how this ties into the larger geopolitical chess match currently underway in Eastern Europe. This is the multi-polar world in action. It’s no longer some theoretical thing that we’ve read about or that we’re moving towards—we are in it. This is the world we live in, and in this world, everything is up for grabs. Every...

Luca Anceschi: Kazakhstan Will Move Closer to Russia & Eurasian Integration
Professor Luca Anceschi discusses recent events in Kazakhstan. We will never know if it was a revolution because the violence that ensued stopped the natural organic evolution of the protest movement into something that could have changed the political system. It's been a good week for Putin and a watershed moment for Kazakh-Russia relations. We're going to see a structural change where multi-vectorism will become a thing of the past, as Nursultan moves closer to Moscow and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which Putin views as an instrument of geopolitical domination. He believes what occurred was a result of a...

Paolo Sorbello: Kazakhstan Protests Sparked by Inequality, Inflation, & Lack of Representation
Journalist and researcher Paolo Sorbello gives his take on events in Kazakhstan. He says that what is going on has a lot to do with inequality and lack of representation, with inflation and fuel prices being the prime mover. He comments on the effects of the pandemic which have led to millions of unemployed. The scale of the peaceful protests was unprecedented and he believes it is not yet possible to determine the source of the violent protests. He points out the conflicting narratives of the government itself, that of an internal coup and foreign intervention. His response to accusations...

USCIRF Spotlight Podcast
Reforms in Kazakhstan Could Improve Religious Freedom
The Kazakhstani government is implementing promising reforms that could make Kazakhstan Central Asia’s leading example of religious freedom. USCIRF has recommended the U.S. State Department place Kazakhstan on its Special Watch List, and previously USCIRF’s Tier 2 List, since 2013 in response to deteriorating religious freedom conditions stemming from the passage of its religion law in 2011. However, proposed amendments to that law could significantly improve the religious freedom landscape in Kazakhstan. USCIRF is deeply invested in Central Asian religious freedom reform and has engaged directly with the Kazakhstani government. In recent years, the Commission has trave...

Kazakhstan: Fossils and Geology
Kazakhstan Fossils and Geology: This morning on the ARCHEA Blog I shared a tasty block of Semenovites (Anahoplites) cf. michalskii ammonites that hail from Cretaceous, Albian deposits that outcrop on the Mangyshlak Peninsula on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea, in beautiful Kazakhstan. Present-day Kazakhstan is made up of several micro continental blocks that were broken up in the Cambrian and then crushed back together then smashed up against Siberia and came to rest where we find them today. We'll explore the geology of Kazakhstan and some of her fossils. If you'd like to s...

My Wife! From Kazakhstan Watched the New Borat (Bonus Episode)
When I first met Aigul Kaparova, the woman whom I would eventually marry, she told me she was from Kazakhstan. And of course there was basically one thing I knew about Kazakhstan: Borat. I remember asking her how she felt about Borat, because I remembered the reaction to that film in Kazakhstan. She told me the whole controversy didn't really bother her much and that the country had seemingly accepted that Borat would always be associated with her home. And that was about it. Until this week. That's...
