We should put ourself in position of Russia and not make conclusion from "western" point of view.

the best explanation so far i´ve read was from a russian political scientist - but there are thousands of them, like in west, so the quality is hard to estimate - 

Thanks for the summary.  Sounds like it'll just fade into the background then, and foreign involvement was either not present or not central.

Nazarbayev public address (first 1.5 min in KZ, then in Rus)

Yandex-translation

Dear Kazakhstanis!
Dear compatriots!

The January events shocked the whole of Kazakhstan. The purpose of these organized riots and attacks on Kazakhstan was to destroy the integrity of the country and the foundations of the state. These events once again show that independence should be protected as the apple of the eye, as a fragile vessel that requires special careful handling.
The tragedy that happened has become a lesson for all of us. It is important to find out who organized all these pogroms and murders. The investigation will answer this question.
I express my sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims, and wish the injured a speedy recovery.

Responding to numerous appeals to me, and in connection with publications in the media, I inform you that in 2019 I transferred the powers of the President to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and since then I have been a pensioner, and currently I am on a well-deserved vacation in the capital of Kazakhstan and have not left anywhere.

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has full power. He is the President of the Security Council. The President will soon be elected Chairman of the Nur Otan party. Therefore, there is no conflict or confrontation in the elite. Rumors on this topic are absolutely groundless.
Everyone knows that I have worked tirelessly for 30 years in the name of our Motherland.

We have strengthened its borders.
We carried out progressive reforms.
Together we built an independent Kazakhstan, achieved great results in socio-economic development, became leaders in many indicators not only in Central Asia, but also in the CIS.

Kazakhstan has become a recognizable and authoritative state in the world community. This is the result of the cohesion and unity of all Kazakhstanis.
Stability and tranquility in the country have always been my goal. We all need to cherish these enduring values. We will definitely go through the crisis and become even stronger.The President has put forward a new reform program aimed at improving the welfare of the people. This program needs to be supported.
I wish you, dear compatriots, health and prosperity!
Thank you for supporting my course of reforms and modernization, which I pursued while serving as head of state."

KZ text seems like different (i do not know it, but world "Eurasia" is quite clear in KZ text while abscent in Russian one)

Good article on corruption and kleptocracy in Kazakhstan under Nursultan Nazarbayev

‘His family robbed the country’: personality cult of ex-Kazakh leader crumbles
Anger over corruption and economic inequality is largely directed at Nursultan Nazarbayev and family

https://www-theguardian-com.translate.goog/world/2022/jan/20/nursultan-nazarbayev-family-robbed-country-personality-cult-of-ex-kazakh-leader-crumbles?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Observers have pointed to Kazakhstan’s rampant inequality as the main reason behind the unrest. The average monthly salary in Kazakhstan is less than £450, while according to a 2019 report by KPMG, 162 people in the country own more than 50% of its wealth. Much of the elite property is in the hands of Nazarbayev’s extended family, and they are estimated to own at least £530m of luxury property in the UK, according to a report by Chatham House.

This is very much in keeping with UK policy on open doors to dodgy wealth.

Some photos from 25th Special Forces Brigade Scorpion, belonging to Army of Kyrgyzstan. The vehicle is a CS/VN3 Dajiang, made in China. The BTR seems to be a BTR-80, but is hard to identify beause of the copyright. Can someone confirm?
