Bobma: new national heroes of Kazakhstan turned out to be foreign spies

The new national heroes of Kazakhstan from the liberal nationalist party "Alash-Orda" (1917 - 1920) turned out to be foreign spies. The head of the Eurasian Analytical Club Nikita Mendkovich writes about this with reference to the Kazakh historian Kayyrbolat Nurbai in his telegram channel.

"The blow to the myth of the "innocently repressed" Alashordins (Bukeikhanov, Dulatov and others) came from nowhere. Historians who have gained access to declassified NKVD documents in In Kazakhstan, they report that all accusations of their work for foreign intelligence services are confirmed. I wrote about this last year, confirming the criminal activities of the Alashevites, including published documents from the archives of Polish intelligence, as well as the personal correspondence of the traitor Mustafa Shoka (founder of the Turkestan Legion of the Wehrmacht — approx. EADaily)," the expert wrote.

He cited a fragment of an interview with the Kazakh nationalist historian Kayyrbolat Nurbai, where he talks about the facts revealed in the declassified documents.

"In fact, it turns out, if you look closely at archival documents, that they were spies. But in a positive sense of the word. That is, they acted together with Japan, with Japanese agents. With these intelligence services, Japanese, British, Turkish through the Iranian... and Afghan embassies, through their consulates. There was a close connection. There were people, sometimes maybe ordinary people, who were intermediaries. They came from Iran in the 1920s, until the 1930s. The border could still be crossed… They had a connection with Japanese, English. That is, they were spies. For the benefit of independence, but they were spies. There is still an opinion that they were allegedly shot just like that by the Soviet authorities. Because they were spies. In fact, the NKVD, intelligence, it also worked, and all this was reported to Stalin. And Goloshchekin, and then Goloshchekin to Stalin. And slowly the intelligence service discovered all this. That is, the Soviet government was scared. On the eve of the war, many people already knew that there would be a war. Although the Alashordins have already been shot," Nurbai said.

Mendkovich gives his characterization of this interview.

"Unfortunately, not only the espionage of the Alashordins "in a positive sense" remained outside the interview, but also "positive banditry", "positive murders" and "positive corruption", which they lived in the 1920s and 1930s. In general, "Alash" personified everything that even today Kazakhstanis hate in modern buy-ins: meanness, greed, opportunism and unscrupulousness. It's time to demolish the monuments to the leaders of the Alash Horde," the expert concluded.
