>>Russian army intervenes oyvey

Funny thing that it is technically not Russia, but CSTO, by request from Kazakhstan and approved by current CSTO leader, Armenian leader Pashinyan. Who became premier-minister after local revolt like that CSTO will help to suppress now. Considering recent news, only Russian and Belorussian troops are there, but other countries are slow to respond (and don't really want, especially Kyrgyzstan). Another funny thing is that when Karabakh conflict happened, CSTO didn't do anything, although it was more suitable situation for military intervention.

Who cares though.

>Does Kazakhstan have strong presidency, like Russia?

Yes. Kazakhstan was almost last post-USSR republic that didn't change original leader - Nursultan Nazarbaev. He was first secretary of central committee of Kazakhstan Communist Party and chairman of Council of Ministers of KzSSR - technically a republic president in Soviet times. Considering that Kazakhstan is Asian country by mentality, he had more power than his Soviet counterparts. In 1990 he became president of Kazakhstan and was "elected" multiple times until 2019. In 2019 he resigned from presidency, but then became chairman of new Security Council - structure that officially has only advisory power, but de-facto has much more. Even their capital was renamed after him (Astana -> Nursultan). Yesterday he resigned from that position though, after protests.

Don't know anything about current president Tokaev, I guess he is from Nazarbaev team anyway.
