Kazakhs can't throw Nazarbaev off, because the war will begin

Yesterday I met a kazakh anchor. He said in Kazakhstan they're too afraid of Nazarbaev to protest, especially after their President had shot 2000 protesters. The main point for me was"We can't throw Nazarbaev off. It will lead to war". 

The Heroes don't die, the Internet says. The Heroes do, the heart cries.

I didn't know Temur in person. He was nor a friend, neither a mate of mine. But still I remember his appeal over the telepnone: “Take me off here, please. I can't be here any more.” That was the 27th of May, and Temur Iuldashev, the European champion in powerlifting from Ukraine, had already been captured for almost a month. Terrorists imprisoned him in the Ukrainian Security Service Office of Luhansk and he was the successful one to have “comfortable” conditions, food and even (!) the telephone. The reason was — the OSCE observers insisted on Temur's release. But the prisoner himself didn't believe in good will. “It will be a month of my being here tomorrow. Noone lives so long here. I am not afraid, but what do they want from me?” “They” really didn't present any conditions initially. And only after media frenzy started negotiations. But nor with Ukrainian authority, neither with OSCE. With Temur himself. The demand was of a coward kind: they wanted Temur not to fight with them any more. He fled from terrorists' prison in the middle of June. The number of people, captured in Luhansk Security Service Office, was not known for all the time. He knew, they changed people, exchanged for their separatists, seized by Ukrainian army, and the worst — put to the questions for the camera to let Russian people believe in horrors about mythological banderivci and Right Sector — the task they rarely managed with. Temur continued fighting. He couldn't act otherwise. He was a commander of battalion, titled by his name “Temur”. The 27th of August is the exactly the 5th month when all Ukraine heard about the commander Temur, because of his capture, and also the date, when hundreds of people can't believe, he is shot at Savur-Mohyla by terrorists' sniper. The Heroes don't die, the Internet says. The Heroes do, the heart cries.
