From a strong national leader,
to "ordinary retirees",
Nazarbayev is a national hero,
Or a corrupt boss?
The people of Kazakhstan,
Will give the most authoritative judgment.
Looking back at Nash's bumpy presidential path,
There is a historical necessity,
More or less
The accident of life...
The former president finally showed up, calling himself an "ordinary retiree"
Thousands of calls began to come out!
On January 18, just as rumors were flying about "fleeing," "death," "house arrest," "severe illness," and so on, former President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as "Kazakhstan") who had been "missing" for many days finally appeared in the form of a video speech.
Since the riots in Kazakhstan at the beginning of the year, Lao Na finally broke the silence and faced the public.
As the founding president and former president of the People's Republic of China, Lao Na mainly made four points this time:
First, characterize the riot incident.
"The events of January shook the whole of Kazakhstan, and the instigators aimed at undermining territorial integrity and undermining state institutions."
Old Na said the riots were a "tragedy" and a lesson. He demanded that everyone cherish the independence of the country and expressed that the organizers of riots and massacres would be brought to justice.
Second, characterize your current identity.
In 2019, he handed over the power of the president to the current president, and he is now an ordinary retiree. It is not suitable for public appearances, let alone interfere in the situation.
Third, debunking rumors, he did not flee abroad.
"I didn't go anywhere, I took a vacation in the capital."
According to reports, in March 2019, Kazakh President Tokayev ordered that the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana, be renamed "Nur-Sultan".
In the video, Lao Na mentions the capital and does not say "Nur-Sultan". Maybe it's deliberately low-key?
"There is no conflict or confrontation among the elites."
Old Na said Thatkaev was in full power and would be elected chairman of the ruling party, refuting rumors of Kazakhstan's high-level power crisis and elite infighting.
Fourth, characterize one's own historical contribution.
"Over the past 30 years, I have worked wholeheartedly for my country and have not dared to slack off at all."
Lao Na summed up his personal contributions in at least five items:
1. Consolidation of borders;
2. Implement reforms;
(3) to create an independent Country of Kazakhstan;
4. Socio-economic achievements;
5. Establish the international prestige of Kazakhstan.
Russian TV anchor Ksenia Sobchak, who is known as "Putin's little sister," commented on Lao Na's speech: When Lao Na spoke, his expression was not natural and he might be coerced.
She believes that Lao Na "has completely surrendered".
Three sons-in-law and nephews were removed, and the old Na family lost power?
For more than half a month of his "disappearance", Lao Na's explanation seems reasonable, but it is difficult to solve many doubts.
For example, at the end of last year, he went to St. Petersburg, Russia, to participate in the informal summit of the CIS, in the eyes of the outside world, in order to show that he "has not rested";
For another example, since the riots occurred, many family members and cronies of Lao Na have been dismissed from important posts one after another, which inevitably does not make people think of a "power struggle" at the top of Kazakhstan.
And more and more facts show that if there is a real power struggle, then Lao Na and his family and cronies are already in the ascendant.
On January 17, the official website of the Kazakh Presidential Office showed that Abish, the first vice chairman of the National Security Council, had been dismissed according to the presidential decree signed by Tokayev.
Who is Abish?
First, he is Lao Za's nephew.
Second, he has held the position of first vice-chairman of the NSC since 2015.
Earlier in the day of Ashby's removal, Kulibayev announced his resignation as chairman of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs.
Who is Kulibayev? In addition to being the chairman of the National Entrepreneur Chamber of Commerce of Kazakhstan, what is more remarkable is that he is still
The husband of the second daughter of the elder Na.
Ashby's accident had been foreshadowed ten days earlier. On January 7, the media reported that Abish had been arrested.
You know, at that time, Kazakhstan was at a critical juncture of unrest.
However, the Kazakh National Security Council immediately debunked the rumor that the report was a "lie and provocation" and that Abish was firmly positioned.
In addition to Abish and Kulibayev, several newly dismissed officials have also attracted widespread attention.
On January 15, Dosanov was dismissed from his post as chairman of the Kazakh Oil Transport Company, and Sharipbayev was dismissed from his position as chairman of the Kazakh Gas Transport Company.
Among them, the former is the husband of Naza's younger daughter, and the latter is the husband of the older daughter.
At this point, a nephew and three sons-in-law of Lao Na had been dismissed.
The Guardian said that the old Na, who has not been publicly seen, is negotiating with Tokaev to redistribute power. Old Na's former adviser, Mr. Yeltisbayev, said talks were continuing.
The dismissal of a nephew and three sons-in-law, as well as a video speech by Lao Na, may indicate that the era of Lao Na is over!
The first grandson died violently, and the cause of death is still a mystery
In recent years, Lao Na's family has not had much peace. Here, three things are highlighted.
1. The first grandson exploded the family scandal
It goes back to February 2020, when a news broke in London, England:
Old Na's grandson, Essultan, demanded political asylum from the British.
Asultan was the son of the eldest daughter of the elder Na, Dalitja, and her ex-husband. Dalijia and her ex-husband have a disagreement, and after the divorce, the ex-husband mysteriously dies. Since then, the Essurtan and the Old Na family have drifted apart.
Essultan's mother, Dalija, was not only a well-known philanthropist and political activist in Kazakhstan, but also served as the president of the House of Lords. And this position is second only to the president, which can be described as "under one person, above ten thousand people".
You know, that is, in February 2020, then US Secretary of State Pompeo claimed to make a surprise visit to Kazakhstan in order to consolidate the "C5+1" mechanism. No sooner had Pompeo left Kazakhstan than Al-Assultan demanded political asylum with Britain.
Subsequently, The revelations of Esultan to the media can be called an international scandal in Kazakhstan.
Asultan's revelations include at least the following:
His mother, Dalija, embezzled huge amounts of state property
His maternal grandfather, the old man, was not sure, and he was surrounded by a group of people who were sneaking around and clapping horses, and they were embezzling heavily
He had plenty of evidence of the corruption of his grandfather's family
He said that the kazakh high-level collective corruption and total fall
He exposed the collusion between the Kazakh top brass and Russia to use economic integration to swallow up state property
He also had more specific information to report to the British authorities
2. Dalijia was dismissed from her position as Speaker
After these "nuclear bomb-level" scandals broke out, Kazakhstan was surprisingly calm and did not make any comments.
In response to the appearance of the first grandson in London at this time, many parties speculated:
Is this related to Pompeo?
Does this imply that the United States is trying to mess up Kazakhstan through a third country?
As a follow-up to this incident, British prosecutors seized Dalijia's property in London and asked her to explain the situation, but there was no further follow-up.
Kazakhstan's response was that on May 2 of that year, Dalijia was dismissed as speaker of the parliament.
It is said that this decision was approved by Lao Na.
Dalijia was dismissed, and The Ha side did not explain any reason. Only President Tokayev gave her several words of praise on public platforms.
3. Aisultan died violently
Just 17 months ago, on August 16, 2020, the grandson of the elder Nazartan Nazarbayev died violently in the United Kingdom. The cause of death is rumored to be cardiac arrest.
Although the news of Azultan's violent death has not been paid much attention by the media, it has not affected the amount of powerful information released behind it.
The strange thing is that the death of Kazakhstan's "first grandson" is not only not reported in depth by the British media, but also a silence in Kazakhstan.
Will Aisultan's death be related to his mother, who was previously dismissed?
Speculation may be that Aisurtan holds more important secrets of Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan also did not react to The Death of Al-Sultan.
Why is Kazakhstan so silent? Some people speculate as follows:
Aisultan revealed Kazakh state secrets, posing a threat to Lao Na's prestige and national security. Breaking the news that Dalijia embezzled state property not only humiliated Kazakhstan, but also embarrassed Lao Na.
In terms of international strategy, Kazakhstan is an important country in Central Asia. The intervention of the superpower in the region by the United States cannot avoid Kazakhstan. But Kazakhstan is friendly with China and Russia, and also maintains good relations with the United States, but it relies more on Russia.
The United States wants to bring down Kazakhstan, and the appearance of Aisultan has revealed that the United States and china are in the arms of the Chinese and American sides.
Neither the United States nor the United Kingdom has read too much about the violent death of Azultan.
However, the death of a 30-year-old young man in cardiac arrest is ultimately a mystery.
At present, regarding the cause of death of the first grandson, there are "assassination theories" and "tacit understanding theories".
The "assassination theory" believes that Kazakhstan has taken decisive measures to make Aisultan disappear completely;
The "tacit understanding" believes that Aisultan is closely protected in Britain, and the assassination was successful because britain and the United States have reached a tacit agreement.
There are too many mysteries about The Death of Essurtan, and the future will eventually be revealed.
During the riots, the statue of Lao Na was torn down
Nazarbayev's path to president
In 1962, the 22-year-old married the woman he loved. When he got married, the steel mill where Old Na worked gave him the keys to a new apartment. When he looked at the house, he saw that it was just a construction site. Old Na had to share a room with a friend who had only one bedroom apartment.
Three refusals to appoint
When Lao Na was 26 years old, he was already an experienced steel worker, and his monthly salary rose to 500 rubles.
At this time, Old Na encountered a major turning point in his life: the city of Timiltao appointed him as the head of the regiment in the city.
However, The Old Man was not interested in this appointment. According to the old man's recollection afterwards, mainly because he would lose two-thirds of his salary when he left the steel mill, and the benefits accumulated over the years would be canceled.
Old Na's friend reminded him: "Don't get into a fight with Cartkov.".
Carterkov is the head of the City of Timiltao.
To the advice of his friends, Lao Na did not pay attention. When he refused the appointment for the second time, Cartkov was furious, believing that old Na did not obey discipline.
Later, The Old Man refused the appointment for a third time.
Cartkov angrily offered two options: to take office, or to expel the party!
Carterkov also wrote a special appeal and put it in the old Na's file bag.
Old Na was not convinced, and in a fit of rage, he went directly to the provincial committee to reflect.
Karaganda Province was the place where the fate of Lao Na turned, and the governor of the province at that time, Seminov, was very disgusted with Katkov, the head of the city of Timiltao. He corrected Timirtao's decision and removed the complaint from Lao Na's file.
Iron hit the city, the leader of the flowing water.
Later, Carterkov was transferred away, and a new leader came to the city. After he heard about Lao Na's affair, he called Lao Na and asked him to be the leader of the municipal management industry.
Thus, Lao Na embarked on the beginning of his political career.
Dare to speak up and then promote
After taking up his new position, Lao Na paid great attention to solving problems. He knows best than the problem of steel mills.
But Lao Na understood that with his position, it was impossible to solve these problems. He decided to take the risk and report it to Pravda of the CPSU Central Committee. Lao Na's exposure of the poor living conditions and hardships of the workers in the steel mills attracted the attention of Pravda.
On June 8, 1973, the news of "The Truth About a Factory" was published by Pravda. The author is Lao Na. The article sharply criticizes the design flaws of the steel mill, clearly pointing out mistakes and related technical problems in the construction process.
The article also analyzes the reasons for the workers' ideological instability, pointing out that the factory has no schools, hospitals, living and transportation facilities.
The old na article quickly caused a sensation. Although the leadership of Timiltao City criticized Lao Na for making his family ugly, he won the support of the workers in the steel plant.
Lao Na's article attracted the attention of the Soviet high level, and it was decided to set up an investigation committee to investigate in depth. Old Na became the first witness summoned by the investigation team.
Old Na recalled that at that time, he felt that things were not good, and perhaps his "political life" was over.
However, to Lao Na's surprise, the investigation report actually affirmed Lao Na's approach and determined that there was a problem in the factory.
After the investigation report came out, Moscow held a hearing and asked Lao Na to be present as a witness to present the situation. Presiding over the hearing was Suslov, a well-known leading member of the Soviet Union.
When he arrived in Moscow, he was received in advance by Suslov and asked him to tell the truth at the hearing.
Later, the superior set up a steel plant transformation committee, and Lao Na became one of the members.
You know, the level of this committee is not low.
Soon, Lao Na was promoted to the head of industry in the province of Karaganda. Promoted from a worker to provincial leader, Suslov played a large role.
For the workers into the capital
As a provincial leader, Lao Na decided that only with the support of the workers could he have a future. He has also solved many problems, and his approval rating has been rising.
Soon after, Lao Na was promoted again, entered the capital of Kazakhstan, and became the leader in charge of the industry of the member countries.
Accompanied by rumors, Lao Na has been promoted all the way, because he is deeply appreciated by the leaders of the member countries.
The following resume is very dazzling:
From 1979 to 1984, he was Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan;
Chairman of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) from 1984 to 1989;
From 1989 to 1991, he was the First Secretary (Supreme Leader) of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
In February 1990, he was also appointed Chairman of the Supreme Soviet (Head of State);
Since April 1990 he has been First Secretary of the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan.
On December 1, 1991, Kazakhstan held its first presidential election, and Lao Na, then President of the Kazakh Soviet Republic, was successfully elected president for a five-year term.
Just 15 days later, on December 16, 1991, Kazakhstan became sovereign. Lao Na's support rate at that time was as high as 98.78%.
Lao Na has been elected president of Kazakhstan four times. Until March 19, 2019, Lao Na announced his resignation, and he held the presidency for 28 years.
