Poliologist Andrey Grozin believes that Kazakhstan's first president is hidden in Shamalagan
Kazakhstan's first president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, did not appear in public after the mass. That was why a huge amount of rumors spread about his stay. There were versions that he was in China, fled to Kyrgyzstan or the United Arab Emirates, was abducted or was ill with coronavirus. Now a new theory has emerged – Elbasy is being held captive in the republic, and he is terribly angry and outraged by the latest events.

Russian sociologist Igor Eidman informed about Nursultan Nazarbayev's whereabouts on his Facebook page. According to him, the leader of the nation is on the territory of Kazakhstan, he is alive and well, but he is being held in an unofficial house arrest. The sociologist did not specify who is holding Nazarbayev, but he noted that he perceives the latest events in the country as treason. The former Kazakh leader is reportedly reluctant to relinquish power, but he resists and is not going to express support for President Kassy-Jomart Tokaev.
In Kazakhstan itself, the version of Nazarbayev's unofficial house arrest has not been said to be too much speculation. “We have practically no information about this matter, although the representatives of the authorities, representatives and only the inhabitants are interested in this issue. The latest official information was that he was in the capital and negotiating with the heads of state. In fact, it is rumored that he is already in Switzerland or China or is in a coma under a fan. There is no reliable information, “said journalist Askar Kubaizhanov in an interview with MK.
He stressed that such speculations do not contribute to the stabilization of the situation in the country and only add intrigue. They do not shed light on the whereabouts of Nazarbayev and members of his family, who have also virtually stopped appearing in public.
“After the last protest mood, the mention of the nation's leader and his family causes a certain negative,” says Kubaizhanov. – Dariga Nazarbayev, as an intelligent man and a representative of the Mazhilians, apparently decided to take a break. She is in Kazakhstan, but was not present at a parliamentary meeting explaining that she was ill. Nursultan Nazarbayev is a clever politician, and in the past he sometimes took a break, after which he appeared on horseback. Maybe that's the situation now. He waits for the first emotions to subside. But how it will perceive the population & mdash; I dare say that.
He spoke with Andrey Grozin, head of the Kazakhstan and Central Asia Department of the CIS Institute, about where Nazarbayev is hiding and why the Ministry of Culture is not appearing in public:
– When the protests began, I even thought that Nursultan Nazarbayev had died. It seemed logical and explained what was happening. Then came the statement of his press secretary that Nazarbayev himself handed over the position of head of the Security Council to Tokajev and so on. Now I think he's more alive, because otherwise his relatives would have left the country a long time ago. If that doesn't happen, it means he's either alive or they agree he seems alive.
– No, of course not. Who could keep him there? Tokaev & nbsp; or what? It is impossible and will not. Nazarbayev & mdash; it's a character many would rather put in a distant closet and not remember it, but on the other hand & mdash; He is the founding father of today's Kazakhstan and there is no escape.
– He won't say it in public. Nazarbayev nominated him for the post, so a statement like that would say, “I'm sorry, I'm an idiot – I named that fool.” That is impossible.
– There is a version of the opposition that he is seriously ill and has withdrawn from all these things. But Nazarbayev is a man who doesn't let anything run smoothly, keeps his fingers crossed and controls everything. Therefore, it is difficult to believe the version with the disease.
I think that if he leaves Kazakhstan for the UAE, China, Russia and so on, he will lose the opportunity to influence the adoption of specific decisions to ensure the well-being of his family. In addition, he has many relatives who are probably now turning to him and shouting, “Dad, they want to take our bank! We have to do something. “With such commitments, Nazarbayev cannot leave the country.
He is most likely sitting in his native village of Shamalgan, and after the passions subside, he will show up. If, of course, he is alive.
