Speaking of Russophobia in Kazakhstan, Russian Ambassador Aleksey Borodavkin "fell like propagandists." This was stated by the speaker of the lower house of the Kazakh parliament Yerlan Koshanov, whose words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

He noted that some statements of the Russian diplomat do not correspond to his status.

“I carefully read the interview with Mr. Borodavkin, some moments of his interview really do not correspond to his status and do not work for his benefit. Although Mr. Borodavkin is a very experienced diplomat, we have known him for a long time, and he should not be likened to propagandists and political scientists,” Koshanov said.

He added that "there is xenophobia both in Russia and in other countries."

Earlier, Borodavkin expressed concern that radical "nationalist tendencies are becoming more and more evident in Kazakhstan." “The Internet is filled with videos in which radical nationalists come out with completely unacceptable radical demands, slogans and so on. Moreover, these slogans are Russophobic,” the ambassador said.

Earlier, a case was opened in Kazakhstan because of a staged video where a Russian “kills” a Kazakh for Crimea.
