Earlier, former Consul General of Kazakhstan Meiram Kanapia posted on social network:
"Russian citizens in Kazakhstan, you are not full-fledged citizens of our country. There is little time left for your "Russian freedoms". You will now have to answer for your actions and words. Unfortunately, you have too little time. You will not even have time to learn the Kazakh language to answer for your destiny. I will visit the places where I spent my youth in Saint-Petersburg and return to civilization. I will see the "burned out" regime...."
