Thus, all power is tied to big business. To have an unsinkable business, you need to have large relatives in the executive branch. The higher the position in which an official sits, the bigger his business affairs are, and this is almost a rule.
If the government changes, then, of course, the whole pyramid changes. They select their own people, their own team. There is also a redistribution of assets of large businesses. Therefore, power cannot be lost in any way. Every official knows this. Therefore, no one wants to leave voluntarily. Disloyalty to the regime can serve as a reason for dismissal, so no one wants to get involved with the opposition. No one wants to be overly active, say, in work, but everyone tries to praise the course of the current president, and the president himself should always be praised (for example, give to streets, parks, and squares the name of the president). If an extraordinary event occurs in the controlled territory of a big official, enemies and competitors for a lucrative place immediately take advantage of it, and they quickly inform the leader. The official is first checked for loyalty, and then everything else is checked.
The culture of power is always linked to culture in general. The desire of a nomad to occupy more space around himself is quite understandable this is an eternal desire almost. Even minor officials from the former nomads do not tolerate objections. In Japan, for example, no one takes a step without instructions, Japan is generally a country of instructions. In Kazakhstan, almost no instructions are needed. The officials do this under the motto I am the boss you are a subordinate, so complete subordination. If an official has a relative, a roof on top, he does not care who is sitting in front of him. He knows he has protection. The pathetic babble of a journalist is pathetic because there is no free press, although everywhere they talk about some kind of commitment to democracy. Well, its true, if there is a market around, then there should be a free press. Not with us. Everything is decided by the authorities. Therefore, everyone wants, especially the extremely conservative Kazakhs, to get into power. But the government has its own selection. And this selection is far from meritocratic principles in general. And the whole press is under control almost like in Japan (with one difference, that the Amakudari principle helps the Japanese). That is, a Kazakh with a reliable roof is not afraid of anything.
