Kazakhstan: “No world under …Aliyevs!”

Alisher SAGADIYEV

In history there are a lot of examples when forgotten idols once withdrew from business, again rushed under the soffit shine, to the looks and applauses of the audience. Like Guy Richie broken away from amenities of Madonna took again in his hands «Cards, money, two barrels», like aged Arnold relived a bit of the past in the «Terminator-3». Like the cowboy Clint Eastwood appearing again and again on the screen.

In short, those who once fall sick of attention of multitude cannot be recovered from this. They long for there again and again.

In politics such «comeback» means as usual only one thing — exhaustiveness of an image, lack of creative imagination brings to that so-called politicians go around by a vicious circle — now hiding in a shade, now appearing to surface ... in the same mask.

Sometimes lack of imagination gives birth to really monstrous schemes of returning the interest to one's person. Let's take Rakhat Aliyev and adventures of his father Mukhtar Aliyev caused these on the whole trivial arguments.

For an outside observer, even more for an idle resident, the situation looks like as follows:
— the ministry of internal affairs of the RK, resting upon the information from the ambassador of Kazakhstan in Austria, spreads a message about that Mukhtar Aliyev appealed to the embassy of Kazakhstan in Vienne with the request to save him from his son Rakhat Aliyev and return aged medical academician back to his fatherland,
— next day the information was refuted by Mukhtar Aliyev himself who declared that he said nothing of the kind, and in the embassy he was stuffed with some tablets.

An idle resident in this informational chain sees only looming names which make definite parts of the brain of a «reader between the lines» not only respond to «recognition», but also switch on his imagination depicting the following pictures of the situation occurred:

— Picture One. Malicious Kazakhstani special services and their special soldiers seize the attractive grand-dad in an odd way, take him to the embassy, tuff him with tablets and make him to slander his son. It was made of course for reigning of the Absolute Evil in the world. There are no distinct explanations.

— Picture Two. Mukhtar Aliyev was indeed in captivity of his own son and indeed got over the 5-meters fence in order to save himself, but then changed his mind (under the influence of his daughter, the sister of Rakhat Aliyev) and wrote a refusal statement.

All lacunas in both topics are filled in consciousness of a resident by standard explanations — you know these rich men and bureaucrats, what caprices they may have!

Since we belong to idle residents in no way and believe nor in talents of the Kazakhstani special services, neither in that an old surgeon imagined himself a Spiderman and jumped over the fence in order to run away from the cannibal son. We may draw on our behalf one more possible picture of actions considering the previously stated arguments about nature of politicians and especially that of Kazakhstani ones.

So, we see this situation as follows.

Activity of Rakhat Aliyev on laying sins of Kazakhstani government bare became exceptionally trivial, due to that the interest of people to virtual mouthpieces of «democracy from Rakha» exhausted. There was needed a fresh spirit, a strong part of creative in the virtual war of Aliyevs with the featherbrains of Kazakhstan. And now a publicity stunt was found — hijacking of the old father and filling him with drugs for slandering his own son! These Asian customs!

The event was thought out and embodied. Knocking at the door of the Kazakhstani embassy is an unhappy old man with a ready story about the cannibal son who kept his aged father in the dark tower. Kazakhstani diplomatists fall for the bait, give a cup of tea to the old man and shout it from the housetops, i.e. to mobile phones. And soon the whole country rejoices over release of the aksakal. And in the morning the old man disappears in order to carry the second part of the plan into effect — in this way there appeared the refusal from previous statements and hints at artful tablets treated to runaway old men in the Kazakhstani embassy.

We are waiting for the third part of the performance, the stage is ready and footlights are lit. Soon, in this alight circle there must stand the chief hero of machination — Democrat Rakhat Aliyev. And cry out all over the world about savage customs in present-day Kazakhstan, where there is no world ... under Aliyevs! Truly, there is — from Aliyevs — it became quieter at home, but it is not so significant.

And an idle resident will nod highly: I knew!
