Russians are outraged by the continuation of large-scale and systematic de-Russification in Kazakhstan.
Russian military propagandists dissatisfied with the situation in Kazakhstan, where local authorities have announced plans to rename the city Russified during the Soviet Union, Petropavlovsk (population 220,000) in Kyzylzhar. A major Russian military Telegram channel published a message in which called Kazakhstan’s Petropavlovsk a “Russian city”, indignant at the plans for de-Russification.
A former officer of the Russian special services, Strelkov-Girkin, also reposted the marked message on his Telegram channel.
Russians are outraged by the continuation of large-scale and systematic de-Russification, in which the authorities of Kazakhstan are returning Kazakh names to their cities, towns and streets. Moreover, Russians are unhappy that the local ethnic Russian minority is being discriminated against by the indigenous population.
Earlier, under this pretext, the Russian Federation launched an invasion of the occupying army into Ukraine. In Kazakhstan, the authorities fear the same development of events, but China suddenly acted as a guarantor of the territorial integrity of Kazakhstan a year ago, sending a signal to Moscow.
“In the state” Kazakhstan “they want to rename the Russian city of Petropavlovsk to Kyzylzhar. Large-scale and systematic de-Russification continues in Kazakhstan. Hundreds of settlements, large cities and regions have been renamed. All this is accompanied by regular humiliation of Russians. Let me remind you that no Kazakhstan existed at the time of the creation of the USSR”– writes the Russian propagandist.
The author also published a map on which Kazakhstan is part of the USSR: on it all Kazakh city names are already Russified.
On March 19, in Petropavlovsk, a group of 19 separatists gathered at a meeting and announced the creation of the People’s Council.
