Crisis in Kazakhstan: preliminary results, analysis of causes, reactions of foreign partners

Abstract

The authors, having studied the assessment of the prerequisites, causes and nature of the political crisis of the beginning of 2022 in Kazakhstan, came to the conclusion that the interim results include the strengthening of the position of the incumbent president and his chosen course for the complete completion of the transit of power. The analysis of the events, the degree of organization and coordination of the forces involved indicates that if the protest was not artificially created by "groups from outside", then certain political forces attempted to use the current situation in order to unbalance the existing political system in the country. In addition, the events in Kazakhstan in their significance go far beyond national borders and the stability of the current political regime in the republic depends not only on the ability of the authorities to solve economic and social problems, but also on the willingness to answer questions of concern from international partners with their further actions.
