Borat made Kazakhstan famous.

I am getting questions at work- is it really that bad in Kazakhstan?
I never been there - lucky me, avoided the honorable service in Leninsk - the southern space port of USSR.

My aunt had resided in the former capital Alma-Ata - until it became obvious that Russians should leave.

I wonder what Russian intelligence analysts are thinking now.
