If not for the German attack on the USSR, the Kazakhs would have been completely exterminated. This is stated by new Kazakhstani historians visiting a journalist who runs her YouTube channel Maya Bekbaeva.

"Now they are openly saying that Hitler saved the Kazakhs from Stalinist collectivization. If not for the German attack on the USSR, the Kazakhs would have been completely exterminated. That's what historians say when visiting Maya Bekbaeva. What is this but an excuse for Nazism? Yes, it is necessary to plant for this," the RedKazakh telegram channel writes about this.

The resource reminds that in 2014 the Kazakh magazine "Zhuldyzdar otbasy" published an entire issue dedicated to Hitler, entitled "Star Family. The man is a legend."

"The author of that issue openly admired Hitler, used quotes from Mein Kampf. In this issue there was an article entitled "Hitler is not a fascist." Then the author of articles about Hitler was simply fined a meager amount," RedKazakh writes further.

The telegram channel points to purposeful ideological work in Kazakhstan to discredit the Soviet past and allied relations with Russia.

"And here a logical question arises. If Hitler, in the opinion of Kaznet's already not small group, brought liberation to the Kazakhs, then why do these same users compare Putin with Hitler? Well, where is the logic here? Hitler is a friend of the Kazakhs, so Putin is also a friend of the Kazakhs? No, they will answer me, Putin is another Hitler, from a bad multiverse," RedKazakh concludes.
