Kuat Akhmetov, whose YouTube channel caused a resonance scandal because it apologized to Russian-speaking residents of the republic, is a friend of President Mukhtar Taizhan's adviser, who is a member of the National Council of Public Trust under the President, Readovka said in his research. From 1997 to 2001, Taizhan served in the presidential administration of Kazakhstan, then joined the opposition for a long time, until Tokaev appointed him to a new position in 2019.
Taizhan is a member of various advisory boards in government bodies. Akhmetov himself thanked him for his support. “ Here is only Mukhtar Taizhan, I want to express my great gratitude to this person. Informs the head of state, the president, & mdash; & nbsp; Akhmetov said at one of the meetings.
It is worth noting that Taizhan, in response to the words of the first deputy head of the presidential administration, Dauren Abayev, called “ language raids“ Akhmetov, a manifestation of cave nationalism, stood up for the radical. “ Is anyone talking about the oppression of the Russian language in Kazakhstan? I have never seen that. Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan have the right to demand that they serve in the state language of Kazakhstan & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; & nbsp; wrote on Taizhan.
Akhmetov has more friends & ndash; especially & nbsp; these are the heads of veteran organizations Yerlan Aldanazarov and Murat Mukhamedzhanov. It was their organization that contacted Akhmetov and previously nominated Taizhan for the presidential election. Mukhamedzhanov is also known for his nationalist views. In May, he demolished the coat of arms of the USSR from a monument in Aktobe and posted a video of the event on the web. Veterans' organizations are a strong force, made up of those involved in the armed conflict in Tajikistan, where more than 40 Kazakh soldiers have been killed, and can become a serious aid to radicals in the political struggle.
