Rank, welcome to reading history according to the calendar.

The political situation in Kazakhstan was unstable in the first two days, and finally depended on the entry of Russian troops, everything disappeared, and it is likely that in the future, Russia and Kazakhstan will be more closely united.

Even now some people say that Russia and Belarus have set up a Russian-Belarusian alliance, is it possible that one day these few stans will be included again?

How hard has Kazakhstan worked on the road to de-Russification? Even the language has been changed

After all, we were all brothers who were separated from the Soviet Union, and there were 5 stans in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.

Although Kazakhstan is the largest territory, but its population is not the largest, and his territory is slowly put together for him later, it can be said that on the land issue, Kazakhstan has made a lot of money.

Of course, it is precisely for this reason that Russia and Kazakhstan should be more closely integrated, because Russia has a lot of territory, which has been assigned to Kazakhstan.

In the Tsarist era, we know that this Tsarist Russia has a bloodthirsty love for territory, from a small country attached to the Golden Horde, it took two or three hundred years to lay down such a large territory, and these several States in Central Asia are the continuous invasion of Tsarist Russia, and slowly assigned to their own accounts.

But of course, the peoples of Central Asia are not the same as Russia, for Russia, how can you own these lands for a long time, you must know that the non-chinese race must have different hearts, you are using forced conquest to occupy the territory of others, then one day in the future, people may be separated at any time and anywhere.

Therefore, Tsarist Russia immigrated to these territories in large quantities, and many ethnic Russians came to live in these stans in Central Asia, and slowly the number of Ethnic Russians increased, making the separation tendency of these several States relatively low.

After the establishment of the Soviet Union, we know that he had developed a union republic, Russia counted as one of the largest republics, and some other territories, such as Belarus, Ukraine, Central Asia, and Azerbaijan, Armenia, all became republics.

According to the Soviet Design System, on the surface, every republic is free to come and go, and you can come and go as you want, but in fact we know that it is impossible.

When the Soviet Union was first established, the central authority was still very strong, these republics were called freedom to come and go, in fact you were a provincial administrative unit, but when the central control of the Soviet Union declined, people thought that I could come and go freely, so the whole Soviet Union was broken up.

But you know what? When the Soviet Union was first established, the leaders of the Soviet Union also took this into account and worried that one day, these republics would defect.

So some territorial adjustments were made, the most famous of which was the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine, which we have analyzed with you before, and on the surface Ukraine has taken advantage of it, so white is such an important territory, but in fact the Soviet leaders want to mix sand.

Ukraine is definitely ukrainian majority, what to do in the future once separated, there are too few Russians, so I simply give you Crimea, Crimea is 90% Russian, which can reduce the proportion of Ukrainians in Ukraine, and increase the proportion of ethnic Russians.

Anyway, it is all within a unified country, and there is nothing wrong with your province and that province, not only Ukraine has made such adjustments, but also these few Stans in Central Asia have also made adjustments.

For example, for the Uzbek and Kyrgyz peoples, which were the most divided at that time, the Soviet Union first separated a Tajikistan from Uzbekistan, and built up the princes with little strength.

Then the Syr Darya Oblast and the Seven Rivers Oblast in the north of these two ethnic groups were all assigned to Kazakhstan, and at the same time the Caspian Voivodeship on the left bank of the Amu Darya River was established as Turkmenistan, forming a joint siege of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Yes, considering that these two Stans have more serious separatist tendencies, I set up two new Stans, and then cut off a large part of yours to Kazakhstan, and then let these two Stans surround you, and finally formed the current situation of 5 Stans.

It has to be said that the Soviet leaders also had good intentions, and considering that the proportion of Kazakhs in Kazakhstan is too high, what should be done? Continue mixing with sand.

A large piece of land in the Russian Republic was given to Kazakhstan free of charge, which today has more than 2 million square kilometers of land.

Of course, all such adjustments are completely fine within the framework of the Soviet Union, I adjust my provincial region, this prefecture-level city is assigned to you, and that prefecture-level city becomes a municipality directly under the central government, which is very normal.

However, as soon as the Soviet Union disintegrated, these contradictions appeared, some countries felt that they were at a loss, and some countries took advantage, for example, in Russia, the Crimea I was born in was ceded to Ukraine, and millions of square kilometers were ceded to Kazakhstan, so there was a Crimean dispute 8 years ago.

As for Kazakhstan, to be honest, although the Russian counter-insurgency has helped him a lot, in fact, since the founding of Kazakhstan, he has been very wary of Russia.

Did you know? When Kazakhstan first became independent, the proportion of Ethnic Kazakhs and Ethnic Russians in the country was basically the same, about 40%, which shows that the Soviet leaders' sand-mixing operation was very successful.

If you don't mix this sand, then all the Kazakhs in Kazakhstan are proper, but for the newborn Kazakhstan, his supreme leader also has this hidden worry, you see half of the mainland is Russian, is it possible that one day they will plot another independence? At least strip me of these states on the northern frontier?

Dozens of small countries in Europe often engage in self-determination of the inhabitants, we are people of this race, we are the mainstream ethnic group of your country, not a race, so we have to cut off our land.

So what to do? After the establishment of Kazakhstan, it quietly began to de-Russify the action, on the one hand, to tell the Russians in their own country, you see your Russia has established a country, Russia is much richer than Kazakhstan, if you want, you can go directly back to Russia, you go to get a Russian passport, you don't want to be a Kazakh citizen.

On the other hand, Kazakh citizens from all over the world, Kazakhs, are invited to return to their home countries to live in order to increase the proportion of their own ethnic groups, and after two or three decades of adjustment, the proportion of ethnic Russians in Kazakhstan has now dropped sharply from 40% to 20%, while the proportion of Kazakhs has exceeded 60%.

Not only that, But Kazakhstan has also moved its capital, why? The original capital, Almaty, was too close to Russia, just on the northern border, very unsafe, and simply moved to a small city 1200 kilometers away from him, of course, this city had just changed its name the other day, called Nur-Sultan.

And a few years ago, What did Kazakhstan do? Kazakhstan has its own language, and its script was written in the Cyrillic alphabet before, which is very similar to The Russian language, after all, you are a unified big country.

Now Kazakhstan says, we don't use the Cyrillic alphabet, we want to use the Latin alphabet instead, and the Russian language is not even counted as the Chinese of Kazakhstan.

Yes, in fact, the similar scene Ukraine has not also done, let's be honest, these small countries around Russia, there is a very big concern, that is, it is possible that Russia will one day put its hand on them and merge them again.

So we can say that since Kazakhstan's independence 30 years ago, its de-Russification has been very successful, the capital is far away from the Russian-Kazakh border, more than 60% of the population is the main ethnic group, even the language and writing have been changed for you, in this state, if Russia wants to do a referendum like Crimea, take the Kazakh states, this difficulty is too great.
