Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] 1. The situation in the country has not yet returned to normal. Sporadic attacks by militant groups, as well as their cleansing, continue in cities, primarily in Alma-Ata. The authorities reported on the establishment of control over all the lost administrations and buildings of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but this of course does not mean that all groups of militants have been eliminated.

What facilities are now under the control of Russian troops.

98th Airborne Division:
- Airport Nursultan
- The building of the General Staff
- Telecenter
45th Separate Spetsnaz Airborne Brigade:
- Almaty Airport
- Headquarters Air Defense
- Nursultan
- 602 base

- Kazatomprom
TSSN Senezh

Correction from an earlier remark: As of December, 2021, the Russian 56th Separate Guards Airborne Brigade was reformed as an airborne regiment and folded into the newly formed Russian 77th Mountain Airborne Assault Division, now based in Crimea.

Note also, none of this includes Wagner PMC deployments, which likely were transported in via Russian commercial aircraft.

#1  It is becoming more and more obvious that the gas protests were an ordinary screen behind which the struggle of the Kazakh clans was hidden. Talks about the betrayal of some of the leadership of the KNB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the involvement of the Nazarbayev clan, form a situation where accusations of high treason and an attempted coup d'etat can be brought against Nazarbayev's entourage or even Nazarbayev himself (if he is still alive at all).

we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
