The Russian "Literaturnaya Gazeta" published a letter to the editorial office of a former pediatric surgeon from Almas Naiman of Kazakhstan, who is now on a well-deserved rest. A respected medical worker warns compatriots that a second Ukraine may break out in the country.

The letter of the Kazakh pensioner is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory over fascism, when the multinational Soviet people, without dividing into Russians, Kazakhs, Ukrainians and other peoples, won their right to live free.

"A resident of Kazakhstan, brought up in the USSR, I am worried about how our countries will continue to develop and interact. There are reasons for both joy and anxiety," Almas Naiman writes.

According to the author, "now we have people whom I personally consider to be among the fascists who allow slander against Russia and are trying to bring hatred to Russians and Russia."

"No matter how bitter it is, but many Kazakh nationalists educated by the foundations of Europe and the USA can be called fascists precisely because of their hatred of Russians. They allow Russians and Russian-speaking Kazakhs to be humiliated, and demand that Russian be deprived of the status of the second state language. On the Internet, some of the bloggers support the tales of the Kazakh fascists, and even some former deputies and politicians in the same row. For example, the politician Mukhtar Tayzhan, whom I respected earlier (in 1997-2001 he worked in the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan. — EADaily) said in connection with the 80th anniversary of the defeat of the fascists: "This is not a victory, but victory!"," Almas Naiman continues.

The author further quotes Adilzhan Abdugaliev, a blogger from Almaty, who recently stated on the Internet: "We have already killed over 150 Russians in Almaty, and 30 were framed and imprisoned for the fact that they were Russians, did not speak Kazakh. In the zone, our guys passed their penis over their lips, and now they are lying near the toilet and our guys are stepping on them, going to the toilet. One of the Russians has already hanged himself there."

"What is this? How does the earth carry such a fascist? How did all this become real? Maybe there is a reason in the words of blogger Anton Budarov (Budanbai) that this is possible if such fascists are protected by some government officials. Budanbai listed a number of names: Presidential adviser Yerlan Karin, Minister of Culture Balayeva, a number of deputies of the Mazhilis. Whether Budanbai is right or not, I don't know. But isn't it worth listening?", writes Almas Naiman.

Raising the topic of SMO, the Kazakh doctor states: "Russia was forced to launch a special operation to save Russians in Donetsk, Lugansk, Crimea."

"I sincerely feel sorry for the Ukrainians! I have been friends with many people since childhood, and there are still Ukrainian friends who are wonderful people. It's not their fault that the leadership of Ukraine encouraged fascism on their own head! Of course, I see our country as prosperous, independent and respected in the future. A lot has been done and is being done, but there are a lot of things that get in the way, as I wrote above. Everything can be overcome! Especially if we stop our extremists, their patrons and rely on friendship with Russia, with the Russian and all other peoples of our Kazakhstan. Otherwise, a second Ukraine may break out," Almas Naiman concludes.
