She stated that Moscow expects the Kazakh side to not only follow the letter of its legislation, which states that “Article 147 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for up to 7 years’ imprisonment for inciting ethnic hatred,” but also to not follow Kyiv’s lead and that “He is taking action for the swift final expulsion of this abhorrent Nazi.”
