How breathes in huge Nursultan

An elderly man who is like in a slot - but in fact from the Khan throne - watches his own funeral, remaining alive. And he learns about the honors that he could not afford while opposed to the temptation to preside at his own funerals: honorary titles, a monument, the renamed capital, the world of the world in Karaganda was renamed Nursultan Nazarbayev Avenue, Independence Avenue in Ust-Kamenogorsk will be named Nazarbayev, and in the act ... and in the act of acts ... Nazarbayev Avenue renamed the prospectus of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan!

For the sake of all this almost surreal madness, extraordinary sessions of local councils are gathering, letters of the workers are organized - in a word, in order to satisfy the curiosity of an elderly person, Kazakhstan turns into the Soviet Union of Brezhnev times. And you already imagine how an elderly man, standing at the coffin of his friend -doctor in Samarkand, tells him: here they all rename, Islam, glorify you, sob - and you do not see anything! And I will see, Islam, I will see. You just want to.

And he wanted to. And I saw. And now lives in Nursultan. But is he alone? Isn't that most of the inhabitants of the post -Soviet world live in Nursultan? Yes, of course, Kazakhstan is a real record holder so viscous, frozen as a fly in amber. But are Russians who have not been able to get rid of Putin for 19 years and only guess what option for the extension of their meaningless rule will the ruler choose in Nursultan? Are the Belarusians who, as they elected 25 years by the president of the anti -corruption of Lukashenko, rejoice, do not live in Nursultan? Are the Turkmens, in which the fathers of the people are replaced only by a natural way, do not live in Nursultan? Are the Azerbaijanis, who survived the creation of the dynasty and the appointment of the wife of the second of Aliyevs, the first vice president of the country, do not live in Nursultan? Did Tajiks disagree that they have been ruled by the winner in the civil war for 25 years, thinking about the transfer of power to his son? Was the power in Uzbekistan to be replaced other than after the funeral? Isn't all this Nursultan?

There are not so many exceptions. Ukraine with its elections and uprisings. Moldova with her clan struggle. Georgia and Armenia with their revolutions and coups. And Kyrgyzstan with his rebellions. More power does not change anywhere and never. Four small countries, two of which also lost some of the without very extensive territory. And one big.

Now it is clear why Ukraine causes such a wild hatred of the rulers of the "Big Nursultan", why do they want to achieve its collapse, subordinate, humiliate, deceive? Yes, because in the post -Soviet space, Ukraine is so far the only hope that not everything in our world will be called Nursultan, that life in which madness is not considered the norm still exists.
