I've heard from almost all of my Kazakh colleagues that they think of Uzbekistan as an "underdeveloped country". It seemed like they meant "superior". When I asked why, they said they were taught that way at schools, and the media actually portrays it as such. Is that actually true? How do you guys see us politically? (Except for food and tourism).

How do you feel about an EU-like union either with Turkic speaking states or Central Asian states, if we talk hypothetically.

Edited: In Uzbekistan, Kazakhs are perceived as the closest allies and are often called "brother-nation".

Тяжело казахстанцу поверить, что в этой стране можно хоть что-то сделать. Ему это звучит наивно, инфантильно

Коррупцию не искоренишь, Дубай не построишь, производство не запустишь, культуру не поднимешь

Казахстанца совершенно невозможно зажечь никакой национальной амбицией, ибо он не верит в успех чего-либо, ему все кажется нереальным и наивным и инфантильным

Давайте тогда признаем все дружно, что мы эту страну никогда не разовьем, и она нужна только лишь для того, чтобы дети чинушей наслаждались жизнью в Европе и США, чтобы они могли качать отсюда богатство

Видимо ни для чего другого мы не нужны и не будем :/

Я был в Беларуси. Там "сланцы" не говорят, там это просто "тапки". В России и Беларуси не говорят "сотка" для сотового телефона, хотя в последнее время не говорят и у нас, я это слово уже редко слышу, устарело

Hey everyone, I was recently looking into the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) and their global list of national music associations. They have official affiliates all over the world certifying music sales and streams like the RIAA in the US, BPI in the UK, and RIAJ in Japan. Even countries like Nigeria, Indonesia, and various regional bodies are making moves or are already firmly on the radar. But Kazakhstan surprisingly doesn't have an official national music industry association affiliated with the IFPI.

We have one of the most booming, vibrant independent music scenes in Eurasia right now, spanning Q-pop, incredible hip-hop, and indie artists gaining millions of streams globally. Yet, structurally, we don't have a unified domestic body tracking official charts or handing out legal Gold and Platinum certifications the way global industries do. From what I understand, a lot of it comes down to how our copyright system is set up. The government has pushed heavily toward state-controlled digital licensing and platforms like Kazpatent rather than letting independent, market-driven associations handle it. This is compounded by massive fragmentation and historical transparency issues with local CMOs (Collective Management Organizations) trying to collect royalties, which often forces our top artists to distribute their music through foreign pipelines instead of a centralized Kazakh industry.

I'm curious to hear from anyone who works in the local creative industry or just follows the music scene closely. Do you think having a formal IFPI affiliate would actually help Kazakh artists, or do global digital distributors like Spotify and Apple Music make local associations obsolete anyway? I am also wondering if the government will ever loosen its grip on copyright infrastructure to allow a truly independent music association to form, and who you think is currently doing the best job at tracking and protecting music rights inside the country right now. Would love to hear your thoughts!

How many Tolengits Kazakhs do have?

Tolengits, what do you know about your origin?

Historically Tolengits had heterogeneous origin. Do you have sub"ru"s (small ru in big ru)? What ru's symbols (animals, trees or something else) and legends do you have?

Where (regions of Kazakhstan) majority of Tolengits do live? Or they aren't concentrated anywhere?

Did you do DNA tests? Do you know about special DNA researching of Tolengits? I heard DNA researchings are very developed in Kazakhstan. I heard about Kazakh history scientist Jaksilik Sabitov who promotes DNA researchings in Kazakh rus.

Ол финалда Таиланд өкілі Маиса Бутсувадан басым түсіп, Азия ойындарының екі дүркін чемпионы атанды. Құтты болсын!

Hello everyone, me and my husband were planning a trip to Kazakhstan next month (November 16-21). It’s in a tour package. We were wondering if this is a good time to visit. Help us out please!

Hello!
I’m going to be in Almaty Oct 5 - 10.

Looking to meet locals to explore food. First meal is on me!

My main agenda is to get a tattoo, it’s going to be Kazak Ornamental work! Ask me more about it below.

About me:
I like riding motorcycles, tattooing, reading romcoms and I’m currently writing my first book.

Places I’m thinking of going to:
Arbaz street
Kok Tobe park
Shymbulak cable car

Hit me up if you’d like to hang!

i wanted to do a horse trek in kyrgyzstan but cannot find any tourguid where i feel confident that they treat the horses well. I found 1 but that was for 10 days and im looking for 2 to 5 days max. Now ive seen 2 stables in kazakhstan where the horses look relatively well cared for (Equestrian club "Almaty Horse Explorers" and shymbulak horse riding). But they seem to only offer rides for a few hours and not any horsetrekking. Does anyone know a good horse trek tour in kazakhstan with well cared for horses?

We feel like everyone we see on the street have iPhone 17 pro, which seems surprising to me considering that for example me and most of my family could barely afford it and we are changing phones once every few years..
And these stores? Are the phones genuine there? I think we saw even the newest 18 which is suspicious??

27/M
Going on a solo trip to almaty. Is it safe there?
Also can i do horse riding there from some tour agency, as a beginner, will it be okay?

A friend of mine is coming to Almaty, and I’d like to ask him to bring back something famous from Kazakhstan. Any specific recommendations for chocolates, sweets, snacks, or local specialties that are worth trying?

Thanks!

I’m visiting Kazakhstan in the second half of October, mainly staying in Almaty and Astana, and I’ll also be visiting Bogdanovich. Could someone help me understand what kind of warm clothes I should pack and what the temperatures are like around that time?

желательно в Казахстане

Вопрос к тем кто живет на арендованной квартире, доме, за сколько вы их арендуете, и как там найти работу и тяжело ли совмещать работу с учебой? И где не стоит рассматривать квартиры и дома, типа в каких районах и т.п. заранее благодарю.

Поймите верно. Я не хочу давать им одномоментную радость, которая скоро увянет, как если ты им дашь коробку с айфоном. Я хочу сделать людей добрее сердцем, добрее к окружающим

Чем бы я мог заняться, чтобы это сделать?

Reaching almaty on 13 November. Please suggest some nice local places. We are not into visiting too much tourist stuff. Want to relax local and visit nice places.

Не поймите меня не верно. Я тупой, я ничего не знаю, я пришел не проповедовать, а наоборот, учиться

В ОАЭ где-то 12 млн. человек, и только где-то 11% - это коренные арабы, это где-то 1,33 млн. человек

И разве арабы стали менее властны? Разве шейхи и эмиры не могут просто взять и нахер всех послать и выгнать, если им так будет нужно?

У нас часто боятся мигрантов, но насколько их в реальности нужно бояться? Я вот местных казахов боюсь больше индусов. Казахи меня обижали чаще них, хоть и много хороших казахов. Ни один индус меня не обидел

Парни, кто отслужил, вопрос. Мне месяц до 24, стоит ли идти в армию или по втш продвигаться? Официально работать не могу, поэтому вопрос решить уже хочу окончательно

Если девушка заинтересована в парне, то почему её желание познакомиться признак низкой самооценки? Парень должен ещё уловить намек, а после пригласить и сделать ещё 10 действий, вместо простого «привет» от девушки? С какого момента это у девушек появляется(не всех)?
