  Kazakhstan is not Russia, and in fact they're rather alarmed by recent Russian sabre-rattlijg about reclaiming land in northern KZ to protect Russian speakers etc (heard this one before?). The current leadership is very much indebted to Putin though for saving them during a recent near-revolution, so they're walking a tightrope.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia had encouraged the very unrest that made them worried and indebted. Not because Putin is a Bond villain super genius but just because encouraging chaos and unrest and then playing all sides of a conflict is a standard technique of Russian foreign relations. Edit: and also used in Russian domestic affairs, didn’t mean to leave that out!

    Indebted, indeed... If you really think Kazakhstan can disobey to Russia then let's agree on not living on the same planet.
