    I live in Kazakhstan and I can tell you the reason: in the 17th century there was a hundred-year war between the Kazakh Khanate and the Dzungaria, where more than 30% of the country's population died, then the Russian Empire came from the colonization, the Kazakhs rebelled, but nothing happened, then when the Reds came, that is, the Soviet Union of Kazakhs there were 6 million but because of the famine there are 2 million of us left

      Do you guys fear China or Russia ever coming in to your country today? Culturally, is there anti-Russian or Chinese sentiment? I've never met someone from Kazakhstan before, though I think Borat comes from there (joking).

      Stupid people claim that Kazakhstan is unlucky because Kazakhstan does not have a sea border. And if Kazakhstan had a sea border, then 300 years ago the British colonizers would have come and completely exterminated the entire local population, as they did in Australia and America.
      Kazakhs are lucky people because they lived inside the continent and the ships of the British Empire could not come close to the lands of the Kazakhs and could not completely destroy the entire Kazakh population

    You left out an important part of Kazakh history, the Kazakh-Dzungar wars which started in the 1600s. The Dzungars were a western Mongol tribe that controlled a large portion of Xinjiang and southern Siberia and subjugated the Kazakhs, gaining territory as far west as Lake Balkhash. This wiped out a huge portion of the Kazakh population. Then from 1755-1757, the Manchus (Qing dynasty) sent an expedition out west and massacred 90% of the Dzungars with the help of the Turkic Uighurs and Kazakhs. As a result, Xinjiang today is home to mostly Turkic Muslim people rather than Mongol Buddhists and the Kazakhs never expanded past the Tian Shan and Altai mountains. The Russians swept south during their conquest of the steppe with little resistance.

(1) Weather experience: When I arrived in Astana, 1st of May at 12 midnight, it was snowing with the weather or temperature at minus 1 Celsius. This was May. And when I asked my tour guide friend the next day, he informed me that temps in Astana can easily drop minus 40 degrees Celsius during winter. (2) Land Area: Driving to Burabay National Park, the tour guide told me that Northern Kazakhstan is similar to Siberia in Russia - a vast land with a lot of birch and pine trees wherein winters are the harshest. We also drove near the steppes, and it was very flat and you cannot see civilization, only grazing horses! Overall, it became one of my favorite countries that I have visited as there are NO crowds in their touristic places 😊

The arrogance of a few men destroyed not only the lives of millions of people, but also turned a verdant paradise into a dystopian desert hellscape, just for a short-term unsustainable gain. But the effort humans took to save the Aral Sea gave me so much hope for humanity.

But the scale was not clear. There's some kind of sea there. Is it big or small? Where is it? Somewhere on the edge of the country's map. It probably doesn't have much effect on anything. I thought then. To be honest, Russians have a very strong imperialist mindset, even if they themselves don’t suspect it(

    The Kazakh famine from 1930-1933 is something I was aware of, but only as the Soviet Republic hit hardest by the nationwide famine apart from only Ukraine, who experienced the horrors of the Holodomor, today widely considered a genocide. Learning the specifics of the Soviet policy towards Kazakhstan during this period, I am now of the opinion that we aren't using strong enough language to describe what took place. It was not a mere famine, nor was it an anthropogenic catastrophe-it was genocide.

    I camped where the Alatau range in Kazakhstan meets the Tian Shan range. We drove 6 hours on dirt roads from Almaty and mostly saw herders, yurts, 1 mosque and 1 shop. The herders are so nice and they gave us Kumis to drink (fermented horse milk). A friend I know there is a descendant from Stalin’s German to Kazakh diaspora, and German is still spoken in his family. It’s true that the demographics are complicated there due to the USSR.

      There were many Germans who where drawn in by the Russian Empire as settlers. They even had their own autonomous region within the USSR right next to Khazakstan around the lower Volga river. Shortly after the start of the war in 1941, Stalin accused them all (baselessly) of collaboration with Nazi-Germany. The Volga German ASSR was dismantled and ethnic Germans were deported to Siberia or Khazakstan. From the latter there are storys, that the German people were basically dumped in the middle of nowhere without any belongings. Not unlike the Crimean Tartars. Wouldn't call that "migration".

    The small population of Kazakhstan is associated with the climate and the famine of 1929-1933, part of the all-Union famine caused by the official policy of “destruction of the kulaks as a class,” collectivization, increased food procurement plans by the central authorities, and, in fact, the confiscation of livestock. If you take away up to 3 million of the population of Kazakhstan, then this is actually half the population of Kazakhs at that time. Since then, World War II has claimed the lives of countless people. But even despite the high birth rate of the Kazakh population. Only in the 70s were the Kazakhs able to reach the population level they had before the famine.

The Kazakhs are direct descendants of those who took Kozelsk and Moscow, and their role in the military-political formation of the Horde is obvious. For now, the significance of the Kazakhs is of a historical nature, oriented to the past, and the potential for revealing the Kazakh people is waiting in the wings. This will happen within the framework of greater Turan, where Kazakhstan will be the backbone of Central Asia.

    In college, I had a privilege to talk with a now-famous startup's CEO, when they went to give a lecture to our students. I vividly remember a very interesting thing he said to us:
    "If there was like a Civ V game about the modern world, with all the resources, politics, and stuff, the most OP country would be Kazakhstan! Look at all the resources we have: oil, gas, iron, copper, uranium. Look at our geography: 9th biggest country, so many arable lands, crossroads between Europe and Asia. Look at our politics: no enemies, neutral in every aspect, friendship with Russia, China, Europe, US etc. Even if we talk about space exploration: the biggest spaceport and all the best space infrastructure, maybe second only to US, is all in Baikonur!"

После развала СССР, Казахстан попилил большую часть пусковых площадок, остались ровно те которые арендует Россия, а после запуска "ангары" со своего космодрома теперь вопрос времени когда РФ перестанет арендовать. И Байканур останется историей. В Казахстане много пахотных земель, но есть дефицит воды. В Казахстане много ресурсов, но нет технологий по переработке, а все самые ценные инженеры уезжают из страны либо в США либо в Европу и создают там новые технологии и патенты. Заработать на наземных торговых путях когда можно было, но появились морские пути которые в сотню раз выгоднее. Я думаю вы цитируете фантазию которая к объективной реальность ни имеет отношение.

Just another fact for the ones interested: because of such a diverse population dynamic, different ethnic groups are coexisting in a very friendly manner these days. I had German, Tatar, Uyghur, Armenian, Georgian, Russian, and Ukrainian friends growing up in Almaty. These days you can see a partial polarisation of the Russian ethnic group living in Kazakhstan, as some embrace Kazakh language and identity in protest of the Russia's policy, while some others get influenced by Russia's rhetorhic. I have seen people organising Kazakh language courses for russians and making reels where they try to speak Kazakh, and there was a small attempt of declaring independence for russia in the north (all of the perpetrators of the attempt are already in jail)
