Baku/04.04.23 On his Facebook page, Kazakh political analyst Dosym Satpayev warns against the growing threat of Russian separatism, calling the recent performance of a group of Russian nationals in Petropavlovsk (northern Kazakhstan) "just a highlight".

"The actions of the separatists from Petropavlovsk are most likely a reconnaissance battle. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. We should not relax; on the contrary, we need to redouble our attention, as Kazakhstan strongly resembles Ukraine in 2014, with a large number of vulnerabilities. And I have been warning about this constantly since 2014, when we all saw the fruits in the form of the annexation of Crimea, which involved a fifth column within Ukraine.

How the Kremlin is creating this fifth column is clearly seen in the report "Preliminary lessons from Russia's unconventional operations during the Russia-Ukraine war, February 2022 - February 2023", which was prepared by "RUSI" experts," Dosym Satpayev writes.

On March 31 the Prosecutor General's Office of Kazakhstan reported that on March 30, 2023 a department of the National Security Committee of the North Kazakhstan Region initiated a pre-trial investigation under Clause 180, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan - "Propaganda of separatism by a group of individuals".

Investigative operations are under way, including searches and seizures, and appropriate forensic examinations have been ordered. The progress of the investigation is under the control of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the press service release said.

Recall that on March 19, a group of citizens in Petropavlovsk declared "independence" from Kazakhstan and convened the so-called "People's Council", Arbat.media reported.

As evident from the results of the Prosecutor's investigation, these citizens stated to act allegedly against local authorities and not the Republic of Kazakhstan.

According to the law, propaganda or public calls for violation of the integrity of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the inviolability of its territory are punishable by a fine, or restriction of freedom for up to seven years, or imprisonment for the same term. -0-
