Yes, Kazakhs are protesting corruption and nepotism in their country.

But there's one more thing to consider in this revolution. The Russian-led security alliance dispatched an army to Kazakhstan to assist the dictator in crushing the protests. It is a reenactment of the Warsaw Pact uprisings, which were crushed by the Soviet army (Prague Spring, Romania, and Hungarian uprisings) It is a sign that the authoritarian system, which is based on corruption and oligarchy, is standing on shaky ground and could collapse at any time.

The Kremlin must be worried and sleeping poorly these days.
