For example, even at the international level, they don't talk very well about Kazakhstan. They say that they invited Russians. What's wrong with that? I was born in the USSR. We had only one country back then, and my parents were working in Uzbekistan for three years prior to my birth. They moved to the Volgograd region after that. Had the USSR not collapsed in 1991, but rather in 1987, my parents might still be residing in Uzbekistan. In other words, we had only one big country, which just happened to break up into separate republics
