Behind Enemy Lines (1987)

Vienna has been the epicenter of the Cold War, a city flooded frontline spies, traitors, secret police and defectors from behind the Iron Curtain. Eighteen years after the collapse of the USSR, Vienna is once again at the forefront of the struggle between East and West that Kazakhstan is "enemy number one" Rahkat Aliyev, Kazakhstan's former ambassador to Austria and the OSCE, resides there. In May 2007, following the disappearance of two prominent leaders Nurbank, an institution controlled by Aliyev and an inquiry that involved in their abduction, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev stripped of his Aliyev government posts and the Kazakh government had Aliyev arrested in Vienna under an Interpol warrant. But Austria has refused the request of Kazakhstan for his extradition, citing the lack of an appropriate treaty between two nations, and concerns that Aliyev would not receive a fair trial in house back.

In its area of Vienna Aliyev has since launched a relentless public relations campaign, portraying itself as a crusader against corruption innocent prey to his political enemies, at the request of his father, former brother-President Nazarbayev. Four months ago Aliyev issued Godfather-in-Law, a dismal so-called "tell all" about volume Nazarbayev and his administration, with the documentation. The most prominent Kazakh politicians in exile, former Prime Minister Akhezhan Kazhegeldin, himself no fan of the Nazarbayev government has recently described the volume during an interview with Radio Free Europe / Liberty Kazakh language service Radio Radio Azzatyk as containing "the truth, half-truths and lies," the application of the last term Aliyev to descriptions of itself and its activities.

The work has received a clear cut in the West, even if it appears in German, Russian and, more recently, in English. Although Aliyev boasts documentation of the book, many of its costs remain defined feelings implied - reproduced drafts for allegedly Nazarbayev offshore accounts are in fact simply a "carrier" and not Nazarbayev himself, while Applications conversations about wealth or personal Nazarbayev his alleged involvement in the murder between 2006 Altynbek Sarsenbayev are not supported by recordings or transcripts, despite the fact that Aliyev has repeatedly displayed other materials such on his LiveJournal blog. Ultimately, the reader faced with such erratic work is left to himself to decide what to believe. The Godfather-in-Law is to first try to Aliyev at the political science writing, like his previous journalistic effort unique is a 2002 book co-authored with TA Akpaev, The Kazakh-Russian-English dictionary of sports terminology. Football.

For the public and Western governments to the fundamental question about whether Aliyev is his self-representation is accurate or, in other words Kazhegeldin, the "lies". His experience and his career shows clearly that the truth is much closer to observations pie Aliyev Kazhegeldin more selfish and sophisticated public relations campaign. While both Astana and Aliyev have acquired interests in the fight for the image Alieyv, an account of the career Aliyev and actions may raise serious questions in the reader's mind.

Mukhtarovich Aliev was born December 10, 1962 to a prominent surgeon of Kazakhstan, Muhtar Mukhtarovich Aliyev, who would eventually serve as Minister of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic of Health from 1982 to 1987. As a member of the privileged Soviet "gilded youth", Aliyev's career if he wants to follow in the footsteps of his father has been pre-ordained, graduating in 1986 with the Almaty State Institute of Medical and thereafter continue postgraduate studies at the 2nd Moscow Medical Institut.e.
