Motorcade of akim of Astana.

     I do not understand why the akim of Astana must travel around the city accompanied by policemen. Why should they make way for him, stop the movement?

     They say that he has many important things to do and he needs to be there on time.

     But don’t hundreds of managers of private companies and …

Democracy and populism.

     They say that when the President of the United States gives food to the homeless, when he takes part in social videos or visits areas suffering from disasters, he engages in cheap publicity.

     And I want to ask people who say so, “How should the head of a democratic state behave? As a king, as a …

Private traffic policemen.

     Some time ago I talked to a Moscow taxi driver. First we discussed Moscow traffic jams (well, this is an obligatory topic of any conversation in Moscow). Then I asked how they put things in order with parking cars on the roadside. So, he told me that the City Hall has signed a contract with private companies that …

Freedom of speech and the prosecutor.

     In one remote country, Kolkhozstan (well, as far, actually, not so far away) there lived a prosecutor named Prosecutor.

     Yes, it happened, so that he was really called the Prosecutor.

     The fact is that his father was a prosecutor, his uncle was a prosecutor, and in general, many in the family were prosecutors, so …

Air Astana

             I remember that just a few years ago we blindly bowed to all foreign things. It seemed that only the foreign thing can be qualitative, good and at a high level.

             I remember how with a pounding heart, I stepped on the board of the first foreign airline …

Legal regulation of social networks.

     Social networks have recently entered our life, but have already become an integral part of it. Like any social phenomenon, they require legal regulation.

     I would like to share with some of my thoughts on that.

     As you know, since 2012, Internet resources in Kazakhstan are considered to be equal to the mass media …

Orders of the President to Parliament

            Today I heard on the radio that one of the deputies of the Parliament from the non-ruling (it could be said, opposition) Communist Party said on the sidelines of the regular session of Parliament: “We will do our best to fulfill the tasks set by the President of the country …”

Migration as a barometer

             You can persuade consumers for a long time that your goods are the best, but soon after they understand, they will choose your competitor and buy the goods from him.

             You can persuade the citizens for a long time that everything is fine in our country, but soon …

Opposition

         I think that the biggest omission in the development of Kazakhstan is the lack of opposition.

         Not underground, not radical, not oppressed by the authorities, but real, in the traditional sense of the word for civilized countries.

         The absence of opposition negatively affects the development of the country …

European tightness

         The European population density led to the appearance of very small restaurants. Here it is a usual thing to sit at neighboring tables and almost touch the elbows of neighbors. At the same time, at each table, couples conduct their conversations, not being ashamed of their neighbors. Probably because nobody cares about others. Nobody eavesdrops and …
