In Karaganda, they noticed a Gazelle, on the back doors of which there is an inscription in the Kazakh language, inciting ethnic hatred.

The translation of the replica is as follows:

"Those who do not speak Kazakh should bite their tongues."

Telegram channel "Red Kazakh" comments as follows:

"To promote the state language in this way, ordering others to shut up, is a provocation. But this driver is unlikely to be brought to any responsibility. Maybe they will even be awarded to the applause of nationalists in the akimat. The growth of prices and tariffs, the indebtedness of the population, the weakening of the tenge. But there are more important problems in the country, apparently. The greater the gap between rich and poor, the more nationalism swells. This is already an axiom."

EADaily clarifies that under the information message of the "Red Kazakh" there are about three hundred comments with sharply polar views and, accordingly, insults. Thus, the provocation of the Gazelle driver was certainly a success.

A few days ago, a pro-Russian video blogger Aslan Tuleganov was detained in Kazakhstan for 10 days, who repeatedly spoke about the importance of the Russian language for the inhabitants of Eurasia.
