Seat Belts

I often have to travel by taxi. I’ve noticed a phenomenon: almost in every taxi I’ve been in, there are no seat belts in the back seats. Or rather, they are there, but they are impossible to use. Either the fastenings are hidden deep in the gaps between the seats, or the seats are covered with covers without holes for …

Nationalism and Patriotism

Nationalism is love for one’s nationality, the desire to develop a culture and language, to honor its history.

I respect healthy nationalism, regardless of where it comes from. If a Russian Kazakhstani speaks their native language, reads Pushkin and Dostoevsky, plays the balalaika, or celebrates Maslenitsa, I see nothing wrong with it. If a Kazakh of Chechen nationality speaks Chechen, …

One-Sided Equality

It seems to me that some of our women have a one-sided understanding of emancipation, i.e., equality of men and women in rights.

For example, some women do not yet have children or already have grown-up children and do not work, spend their time visiting beauty salons, shopping, and meeting with friends; in general, they parasitize on their husband’s income, …

Reaction to comments

Recently, for the first time in many years, I received a reprimand.

In one establishment, I tried to pass through a narrow corridor from which a woman was exiting. The woman looked at me with a displeased expression and said to me, “Sir, where are you rushing to? Let me calmly exit.”

In that moment, I caught myself thinking that …

Praying to God is useless. No one will send rain from the sky…

Droughts and floods will still periodically occur on our land.

But what is not useless, and what is in our hands, is being prepared for emergencies. Therefore, instead of praying, we should demand from the authorities the allocation of funds for maintaining security systems, such as space …

Ritual to Invoke Rain

For 10 years, we have studied physics, chemistry, and astronomy in school. Then, for 5 years, we study advanced mathematics and strength of materials at the university. We are informed about the water cycle in nature, how clouds form, and how precipitation falls, but… when a drought comes, we forget about our education and start praying to gods, offering sacrifices …

Striped St. George Ribbons or Turquoise Kazakh Ribbons?

The history of St. George ribbons is well known. The Order of St. George was established in 1769 to reward Russian soldiers during the war with Turkey. Later, in the Soviet Union, it was abolished, but in 2000, Russia restored it.

The Guards ribbon was established in 1942 to denote guard units, formations, and ships that showed heroism in battles …

U.S. Hegemony and Democracy

Do not confuse American foreign policy and democracy.

U.S. intervention in the internal affairs of other countries is outrageous.

But this does not negate the greatness of democracy and does not justify dictatorship.

Under the guise of fighting U.S. hegemony, dictatorship sets its citizens against the American way of life, including democracy, government turnover, and freedom of speech.

Do not …

Equal rights of women.

     Now I will say shocking things.

     However, they are not shocking for everyone, but only for the men who perceive the world at the medieval level. Curiously enough, there are women among them.

     So, if a girl wears a mini-skirt, it does not mean that she is a debaucher and that she can be …
