11:49Now PlayingKazakhstan was a name neither on the lips or even on the radar of most in the West – that is, until just over a week ago. Given it shares a 1,700km border with Russia, and its neighbour on the other side of it is China, you can see just what attracted certain powers to take an interest in the vast, landlocked nation.
A giant country with a tiny population, it’s mineral rich, abounding in both oil and gas. It’s not the first time there’s been an uprising in Kazakhstan, however, although last time, Tony Blair was hired to help the regime spin its way out of it. Now the tables have turned and the tectonic plates have shifted.
We invited aboard the Sputnik Bryan McDonald, a journalist based in Moscow, to help make sense of it all.
