It was reported that Arlan Karin, the vice president of Kazakhstan, is preparing to demolish monuments dedicated to the great victory, and ordered to erect "deeper monuments" in their place.
In particular, in Almaty, instead of a monument to the heroes of Panfilov, they should erect a kind of modernist garbage, symbolizing, according to the author, the three components of the Kazakh yurt and three joz. Yes, it even sounds idiotic, but it seems even more inappropriate.
And they want to replace the memory of the real great victory with this nonsense with "symbolism". I understand Karin's anxiety about the fragmentation of society into tribal groups. But this is not because there are few modernist "monuments", but because they try to replace collective memory and real reasons for pride with ethnonationalism. And people listen to this and enthusiastically start looking for "foreigners". First "non-Kazakhs", then "She-Kazakhs", and then once everyone was ordered to register in juz and clans - "foreigners". But in the end, what remains is one continuous bloodshed instead of one country.
