I try to follow Russian resources over at LJ which already offered quality information during the upheaval in Ukraine and the following war in its East. As far as I just take what they say (I only read machine translation, but this already helps it too) - people who say they wanna live like in Norway and Sweden (like in Northern Europe), people who just straight showed up with guns and plunder and kill people pretty arbitrarily (allegedly the "Godfather" of Kazakh HipHop was killed like that; some people just wanted to pull him out of the car, he tried to speed up the car, they shot at it and hit him fatally) and people who didn't just start only with plundering a shop next door, but who attacked critical infrastructure of the country (e. g. the international airport in Almaty) and police - like they don't do this sort of thing for th first time in their lives -; that's the wood the people are made of that lead this violent riot.
...Such people - I don't think so - aren't ordinary protesters. They came to make war. Only it remains in the unknown still: Where did they get the guns from (you just don't wake up one day and own a ton of weapons)? And by that, perhaps you get an answer to the question who are they for real? Are they Kazakhs, are they foreigners - or are they even paid mercenaries that just perform a job?
