Moscow supports the intention of Nur-Sultan to deal with the manifestations of national intolerance after publishing videos about “language patrols”. The message appeared on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
The reason for the reaction of diplomats was published on the network of video recordings, in which Kazakh nationalists are conducting “language patrols” in stores and government agencies. They check whether labels are translated in stores to Kazakh, whether sellers and civil servants communicate on it. During raids, young people call Russian residents “Gastarbaters” and make me apologize to the camera.
On August 12, the Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Kazakhstan Dauren Abaev was reacted. He called the actions of activists by “cave nationalism” and promised to attract law enforcement proceedings.
“We celebrate His words about the willingness of the authorities to hardly stop the manifestations of” cave nationalism. “We fully support the specified position,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says.
Previously, the organizer of the nationalist shares of Til Maydani (“Wave of the Language”) and “Language Patrols” in Kazakhstan, Kuat Akhmetov stated that the Russians suffer from “Ravzhan’s Syndrome and Jamshut” and accused them of arrogance. “You come here to Kazakhstan, and also such hate – I do not know, from where,” he said.
