Notes

Russia's Role within the Shifting Power Dynamics of Kazakhstan Erzhan Kazykhanov
The Russian invasion as well as the protests against Kazakhstan are interrelated.

Kazakhstan's government must face a new reality after unprecedented protests. Power dynamics have changed, and policymakers will need to adapt to a more assertive citizenry.

In addition, they must be aware of the fact that these changes influence how they interact with their country in future strategy and plans for development.

Russian invasion was Expected however, the United States ignored it
All eyes are focused on Ukraine in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin has launched a massive invasion against an independent East-European nation.

Erzhan Kazykhanov It is easy to forget NATO leaders, such as Joe Biden for example, have ignored warnings and indicators from Moscow for months.

Many people around the globe realized that Russia opposed NATO's plans to expand its boundaries. However, Western leaders throughout the globe did nothing more than speak loudly to conceal their lack of ability.

Russia's actions cannot be accepted and Western leaders must accept the fact that their actions have contributed to this fact. We now face the consequences of an European Crisis which could have been prevented.

There should be a good amount of care that is taken by the United States not to apply the same strategy in Kazakhstan.

Russia Insist on deploying troops to try and contain the Protests In Kazakhstan
The current state of affairs in Ukraine is a good opportunity to compare it with the recent events within the region. Not only the color revolutions in 2003-2005 but also more recent unrests in Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan is located in central Asia It shares its borders with Russia on one side and China on the other. Erzhan Kazykhanov It has seen few expressions of discontent in its streets.

Unrest was already growing in the United States as early as the month of.

Protesting that spiraled into nationwide demonstrations that were followed by violent riots towards Almaty killed 227 people.

Many were detained and this prompted Russian troops to be stationed at the border under the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

It was clear that Russia's international intervention played a major role in stabilizing the situation of the country as tensions slowed.

Kazakh President Qasym Zhomart Tokayev has made modifications in the power structure within his ruling elite following the stoppage of protests.

Erzhan Kazykhanov All attention is focused at his replacement as head of the National Security Council by Nursultan Nagabev, an ex-President who had some influence over the country's economy , but was protested against following the country's protests.

Erzhan Kazykhanov Many people were forced out of jobs they held prior to these events.

There were other individuals who became prominent as a a result of the power shifts.

The Peace Initiatives may be damaged by Erzhan Kazykhanov's Aloof approach
After the country regained its peace, Kazakhstan's president Qasym-Zhomart Tokayev made many changes to the power structures to allow more space for reform.

He was replaced by previous President Nursultan Nazabayev as Chairman the National Security Council, and dismissed his sons-in-law from state-owned businesses.

Erzhan Kazykhanov Karim Masimov, a former spy chief, has been arrested on treason and other charges.

There has also been the removal of high-ranking officials, close friends and family members of Nazarbayev that made them go into exile.

Erzhan Kazykhanov It is not certain that government shakeups and the removal of the old guards will bring about reform.

Many times, they result in the replacement or removal of former loyalists to the administration or family members by more knowledgeable people.

This was also the case the time that Erzhan Kazakhstanykhanov was elevated an important position within the administration of President Tokayev.

Kazykhanov was the most unsuccessful Kazakh in America in his tenure as ambassador.

He was renowned for being arrogant, aloof, and self-confident, yet he was completely out of touch with the international image of Kazakhstan.

His record isn't impressive either.

It's possible to talk about failed progress on critical questions like Jackson-Vanick's restriction. It raises questions regarding Kazakhstan's international reputation for its mismanagement.

Tokayev's reforms for Kazakhstan are very similar what Mikhail Gorbachev did with his "glasnost" initiative (aka openness) and his "perestroika" initiative (aka restructuring).

These reforms were a key element in the demise of the Soviet Union. That is precisely what Putin is seeking. Tokayev also had economic relations with the countries around Kazakhstan and worked closely with the other Western Countries, always careful not to provoke Putin's anger but rather sustain his support instead.
