Kazakhstan: the phenomenon of “imposed identity”
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: Today, we all (I mean the people of Kazakhstan) have come dangerously close to the “point of no return” beyond which our unique ethnoconfessional community will cease to exist. This has been brought about, among other things, by the geopolitical strategy designed to plant ideas of separatism in people’s minds: for several decades now (in the past two decades in particular) much has been done to impose a false religious identity on those who live in the republic. This means that we should create certain mechanisms to monitor social processes and defuse potential tension. Today, the state should do all it can to keep these processes of utmost importance in check.
