Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov, commander of the CSTO grouping in Kazakhstan.
Briefing on Kazakhstan. 07.01.2022
1. Citizens of Alma-Ata are urged to stay indoors and observe the state of emergency until the remaining militants are shot. Given the ongoing shooting, this is in the interests of the citizens themselves. Authorities warn that trained guerrilla snipers are operating in the city. More than 3,000 people have been arrested and dozens killed. There are still corpses on the streets which have not been removed.
2. Tokayev announced that the operation in Alma-Ata will continue until all militants have been exterminated. Concerning the question whether the protesters or not, everything is simple here – a group of unidentified people has been carrying on organized firing squad with the police, guards and the army of Kazakhstan, who have been suffering losses in killed and wounded for three days now. Accordingly, the main task is the physical destruction of the enemy who has occupied part of the center of the city. Some of the militants, who are lucky, will simply be captured, followed by a conviction. The rest will be destroyed.
3. Kots writes that in Tokayev’s appeal the question of complicity of some high-ranked law-enforcers linked to Nazarbayev (who is still keeping silence) to what happened will be raised, which actually legitimizes the version that the main mechanism of what happened was not gas prices but the struggle of Tokayev and Nazarbayev’s groups for power. We are waiting for Tokayev’s official interpretation of what happened. Nazarbayev remains silent (is he still alive? Is he sick? Is he arrested? Is he isolated?)
4. The CSTO grouping in Kazakhstan is commanded by Lieutenant General Serdyukov. All Russian units sent to Kazakhstan have practical combat experience. The Kirghiz have also joined today and will send 150 people under the command of the deputy head of the Defense Ministry of Kirghizia. More than 70 military transport aircraft were involved in the operation to redeploy the contingent of Russian and Belorussian Armed Forces. It was a good test for the ATA to move a substantial contingent over long distances. I am sure it will come in handy in the future.
5. Regarding the operations of the grouping. The Russian military is already at the airport of Alma-Ata and controls it in conjunction with the local military. The Kazakh military also holds the TV tower. On the roads they finally started systematically putting up roadblocks. Within 1-2 days they need to deploy a full network. Gradually, the process of localization of major protest areas and suppression of armed resistance by Kazakh military forces will be implemented. The sane protesters in the cities, where there were no pogroms, are likely to be simply negotiated with.

“Citizens of Alma-Ata are urged to stay indoors and observe the state of emergency until the remaining militants are shot.”
“Tokayev announced that the operation in Alma-Ata will continue until all militants have been exterminated.”
“Some of the militants, who are lucky, will simply be captured, followed by a conviction. The rest will be destroyed.”
Those are pretty harsh statements. Are these intended to domestic information, international communication or both? Not that I care much for the “rebels”, just to know if not giving elements to the Western block to cause the Resistance Axis with excessive use of force
I understand and respect your concerns regarding the harsh nature of the language used. However, in a situation of near anarchy that has led to the death of policemen and soldiers as well as the wanton destruction of property, what other option is there? In fact some reports indicate that a few Kazakh law enforcement agents were beheaded. Legitimate protests are one thing but violent disorder cannot be tolerated. What do you think would happen if incidents of this nature took place in the USA, UK, France or any other “Western” country?
You wrote, “Legitimate protests are one thing but violent disorder cannot be tolerated. What do you think would happen if incidents of this nature took place in the USA, UK, France or any other “Western” country?”
Seriously?
Are you not aware of the massive violence in 2020 that happened in America due to globalist funded provocateurs? The U.S. Congress controlled by the Democratic Party didn’t put a stop to it because the majority of the criminality occurred in majority led Democratic Party States such as: Minnesota, Oregon, California, etc.
There were 574 riots that took place between late May and July of 2020 as reported by the MCCA (Major Cities Chiefs Association)
See: https://spectator.org/the-real-insurrection-the-blm-riots/
“In cities where violence did occur, assaults on police officers, looting, and arson were the most common criminal activities. Approximately, 72% of major city law enforcement agencies had officers harmed during the protests. This included nearly every agency that experienced at least one violent protest. In total, over the course of the civil unrest from May to July, more than 2,000 officers sustained injuries in the line of duty. One agency reported 50 officers being injured in a single week of protests. Another agency reported that 462 of their officers were injured during the protests in their jurisdiction.
Looting was also a common occurrence (2,385 instances), with 62% of major city law enforcement agencies indicating that at least one incident of looting occurred in their cities. This activity was primarily clustered during the first few days of protests. Of note, several agencies reported that in some instances, the looting appeared to be coordinated and organized. For example, some cities encountered ‘looting caravans’ that moved throughout different neighborhoods. One agency reported 115 commercial burglaries occurred in just one day. Two other agencies reported $927,000 worth of damage as a result of looting in each of their jurisdictions, and another agency reported a single looting event at a shopping mall that resulted in over $70 million in damage.
And speaking of damages done financially in these insurrections? Here’s the headline for those 2020 BLM riots per Axios: “Exclusive: $1 billion-plus riot damage is most expensive in insurance history.”
The Democratic Party used the riots to generate animosity against President Trump’s re-election campaign and they also encouraged illegal and illegitimate voting machinations to steal the 2020 presidential election.
The majority of BLM and Antifa rioters were not charged with felony crimes (e.g., terrorism, arson, robbery, assault, vandalism, etc.) because the corrupt politicians in Washington, DC need their votes to remain in power.
Briefly,
The US ruling cabal can afford such luxury because it is not threatened by external forces. Given the size of its oppression apparatus, it can afford to allow the plebs to let off steam as long as they don’t threaten the dark core of the empire. Did you notice? The rioters never attacked the wealthy, the NSA, the CIA, Raytheon etc.
Second, do you support the murderous policies of your governments (as a good conservative patriot – thank you for your service etc.)?
Finally, according to some estimates, the USA is responsible for the deaths of up to 30 million innocent people since 1945. Clearly, they get their kicks abroad.
“…The majority of BLM and Antifa rioters were not charged with felony crimes (e.g., terrorism, arson, robbery, assault, vandalism, etc.) because the corrupt politicians in Washington, DC need their votes to remain in power.”
“…the corrupt politicians” you mean, Trump and his cabal of corrupt, depraved, pathological cleptomaniacs?
No analogy between what’s happening in Kazakhstan and the anti-police violence demonstrations gone-violent that surged in the US last year. No BLM demonstrators were trying to take over a military installation, or a nuclear site. They didn’t have Man-Pads, and didn’t want them either. You’re comparing apples and oranges. Plus, the subject is Kazakhstan, you’re digressing. Badly.
Lone Wolf
Mr. Wolf,
I’ll overlook your acerbic comment as an example of poor reading comprehension.
I simply responded to the question ‘Jay’ asked in his last paragraph about rioting in the U.S.A., and not about the substance of the Kazakhstan sitrep summary. Removed. Mod.
As far as your comment about President Trump, you can substitute his name with Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush-43, Clinton, Bush-41, etc. and include the same entourage of feckless sycophants. Washington, DC is a cesspool of self-serving egomaniacal, psychopathic elitists devoid of any real leadership skills or human compassion who exist only to enrich themselves at the expense of the American taxpayer and the innocents who have been murdered by their hand for decades all across the planet.
The world will be better off the day the U.S. Dollar is toppled from its long reign as the reserve currency for international trade settlements. Let us pray it happens sometime in our children’s lifetime.
Mr. PokeTheTruth,
Overall, and now that you clarify the point, we are in agreement, no need to create friction. I agree with your take on the “feckless sycophants” devoid of “human compassion” dedicated to “enrich themselves” on the “innocents…murdered by their hand for decades all across the planet.” So?
Friction out, I can tell you my “acerbic comment” was not due to “poor reading comprehension,” mostly to poor writing skills in the sentence that reads,
“…The Democratic Party used the riots to generate animosity against President Trump’s re-election campaign and they also encouraged illegal and illegitimate voting machinations to steal the 2020 presidential election…”
There is nothing in that sentence that would indicate you’re not a Trumpist fan, on the contrary, you seem to be fully on the “Stop the Steal” side of history. End of story.

I’d have used the term “neutralized” insted of “exterminated”, “shot”, or “destroyed”. It is only cosmetic but it diminished its use from Western powers against the CSTO.
Given the ultra tribal subjective approach currently infecting much of what passes for ‘Western’ discourse, narratives, and action/response it seems reasonable, given the available evidence of recent past precedent, to respond to that final question with the observation that it would probably depend on whether the incident in question was deemed to have been perpetrated by Republicans or Democrats.
Perhaps the general citizenry of places like Portland, Minneapolis et al would have a salient view on the matter? Glenn Greenwald seems to have a relevant take on the general question.
@Andres
This is exactly the correct way to address those who payrolled this color revolution attempt. I believe it properly sends the intended message “if you start messing around in our backyard, this is what’s awaiting you”.
“Man with no name
This mess in Kazakhistan is part of the US/NATO response to the Russian demands. Nothing the west says will convince me of the contrary, as they are experts in spreading chaos. As the Saker said before: if the US does not accept their demands, then Russia will have the right to retaliate if needed. Well, this is just the beginning. We must prepare for a big war.
@Andres,
Flowers and candy don’t work when terrorists, who want to cut off your head, are shooting you and your fellows.
You can surrender and die, or you can kill them first. There is no excessive use of force situation. Who gives a flying f**k what the West says? They are spreading chaos, death, terror and destruction, and we are supposed to care what Mi6 and CIA and State Dept. say.
This is what establishing order and law is all about. Criminals either surrender to authorities or they die.
This is a small terrorist war. It’s not a social demonstration.
How much Islamic terrorist carnage do you need to see to comprehend the situation?
The Russians sent 3000 (probably much more) elite, experienced troops. That’s how serious this is.
Exactly what I said to an analyst earlier today. “This is a small terrorist war. It’s not a social demonstration.”
I don’t think this was a color revolution per se, but rather intended as a quick and hot small war with objective simply to cause mayhem, running up to next week’s ‘not-ultimatum’ meetings.
I agree. Last year protestors walked into the US capital took pictures and smoked cigarettes with a minimum amount of violence. Look at the reaction. They are now described as insurrectionists intent on overthrowing the government. The biggest investigation in FBI history was launched. Suspects held in inhumane conditions awaiting trial.
If the level of violence had been anything remotely like what has happened in Kazakhstan then the Bidenites would be demanding summary executions of the Trump supporters.
@Larchmonter445
It’s a matter of communication, not of action. I’m just saying that harsh language can backfire. You can be very harsh and still use euphemistic language.
It’s also a matter of the communication and cultural war that comes along with the physical one.
I am NOT saying that the CSTO should not do anything. I’m addressing the communication aspect of all of this.
“We are going to pursue terrorists everywhere. If they are in the airport, we will pursue them in the airport. And if we capture them in the toilet, then we will waste them in the outhouse. … The issue has been resolved once and for all,” Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told Russian television on Sept. 24, 1999.
@Andres – Sane people of the planet (East, West, Zone A, Zone B, or wherever) are beyond words at this point.
Dialogue, reasoning, and understanding have been tried many times before, and look where we are at.
The FUKZUS/NATO AZ project psycho-sociopaths are still at it. And more brazen and open in their evil deeds.
It needs to stop.
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

@Andres
Language does not matter because the Zionist-UK-USA axis never tells the truth. Since their media is the only source of information for the majority of people in the West, they control the narrative. They control what is to believed. If they say you are a killer, you are a killer. If they say you are a saint, you are a saint.
Just ask the white helmets in Syria.
How can you play by rules when the other side always cheats.
Most of my American brethren have no idea who is Julian Assange.
Those that follow the news are convinced he is a criminal.
He has has been locked up in Her Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh for 1000 days.
He told the truth.
They distorted everything that he said or did.
Do you really think
Excessive use of force? The insurgents are destroying infrastructure and killing people without mercy. The mission is to end the destruction and regain control as quickly as possible while reducing death and injury to the Kazak population. With armed assailants that have no respect for the lives of the established Kazak law enforcement just what else are they supposed to do?
@A.S.K.
We both agree on what they want to cause. I DO NOT THINK that it is an excessive use of force. I just question the way to communicate it, as of not to give to the Western block an easy element to blame the CSTO.
They will do it anyway, but it’s better to gauge what is said. Communication is part of the war, too.
Are you serious? Does it matter what “the Western Block” says? I live in London and read the papers every day and I can distinguish between the truth and the lies..and so can my fellow citizens when there is some debate …and we KNOW that the Nomenklatura here are psychopaths….so we let them pontificate in the media and we let the journalists distort the truth…and we just ridicule their pathetic games.
The reports from the CSTO are factual. Period.
@Communication is part of the war, too.
As long as one doesn’t mind losing in the end, its a great way to control the beginning and the middle of “war” issues.
Actions always speak louder than mere words. Usher in the slaughter
For all those bothered by the harshness of the briefing (as I was at first) look at the last sentence; “The sane protesters in the cities, where there were no pogroms (destructive and deadly rioting and violence), are likely to be simply negotiated with.” Not a perfect English translation – could be improved by removing at least the first comma and defining pogrom as I have here, but shows that the harsh measures are intended for those who are violently destroying life and property.
How does it matter if you use “taken out” or “shot”. End result is same.
This is literal word for word translation from the Russian without using these cynical milder terms used by the west
Nobody wants to end up like Ukraine.
This is exact the Way you have to deal with such people.
“Tokayev announced that the operation in Alma-Ata will continue until all militants have been exterminated.”
Brutal and no-nonsense language that gives glimpse to western medlers and useful idiots what to expect in the future. When domino effect kicks in, new, harsh policy will be adopted all around the globe. Highly likely, the crackdown of color revolutionaries will soon be done preemtivly, without waiting for mass protests.
Sadly, there is little knowledge how to differentiate malevolent instigators from their gullible victims. Because of that, all of us are facing dark, totalitarian future.
Espetacular o posicionamento das forças da Rússia. Sem negociação! Os cúmplices que ajudaram na conspiração serão responsabilizados.

Commentary from China: Global Times
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202201/1245361.shtml
The Kazakhs no doubt at this point are “thanking their lucky stars” for being a satellite of Russia, while the paid insurrection will be ‘shitting bricks’ big time. You can be certain they will not have any help from the instigators as they scramble to escape, still they made their bed and now will lie in it. Karma is indeed a bitch.
This is a stunning response, as the Saker and a couple others hinted, foresaw or commented on. Russia and the CSTO are incredibly prepared for any nonsense. There is an old english saying that applies to their reaction; they are not studdering. I guess they better listen up there over on the Beltway. If this is anything remotely resembling what Russia is prepared for, then everything is on the table.
I wish well to all.
Yeah – point 4 – … “It was a good test for the ATA to move a substantial contingent over long distances. I am sure it will come in handy in the future.”
Concerning the talks starting on Monday the Americans and Collective West have just moved their first piece on the Chess board, they have no intentions of taking the Russian ultimatum seriously.
Russia backed by China, have made their first move, this will be settled by action, not words.
It will be fascinating to see how each side moves and counter moves.
Until Russia destroys an Aircraft Carrier strike Group.
Will America send in another Carrier Force to join the first at the bottom of the ocean?
If you can not protect an Aircraft Carrier, then you can protect nothing.
You are defenseless.
How much pain will America and the Collective West endure before they accept this?
Or will they move to Biological Warfare where they might feel they have the advantage?
They will never catch up with the Russian and Chinese advantage with missile offence and defense.
Either they accept the inevitable, or they take some reckless gamble.
Assume the crash position, brace for impact.
And hope for a safe landing we can all walk away from.
Biological war leaves no winners. Nuclear war neither. But, yes, the westerners in power are psychopaths with a lot to lose. We cannot trust them…
Zil, befere you start biological warfare you have the plague in one hand and the cure in the other.
You give the cure to your friends.
And the plague to your enemies.
Like nuclear weapons, it is better as a deterrent, you hope you never have to use it.
No winner? Yes, is true…however losers exist…and there’s a history…see> Jeffery Kaye – medium…”Secret History: U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps Flyers’ Confessions on Use of Biological Weapons in the Korean War”
They always double, this is because they worship death, and see evil as good, and have no viable options.
Many seem to imagine that the disease is an example of BW, my doctor, a reserve Captain, imagines it is.
Do not imagine these desperate pauci scruple at any crime.
The affair in Korea and China (and Cuba) ended…precisely…when?
The bear finally stands up. For years we’ve waited for some Russian action, and it looks like the bear has had enough of this eagle’s harassment. Thank God! The US has just discovered another Russian red line. I love the plain speech. This phrase physically jolted me: “until the remaining militants have been shot”. Yes, I would say the bear is awake not, and it’s not going to put up with US BS. What a great Christmas present to the world. Thank you, Lord!
I concur pdb: Citizens of Alma-Ata are urged to stay indoors and observe the state of emergency until the remaining militants are shot.
Forgive me but I guffawed.
This is such strong language and unlikely to be a mistranslation.
Future ‘Maidan’ provocateurs and participants beware.
The message: the time for color revolutions is over, they will be drowned in blood.
when men wake up from sleep and cease to be feminine, nihilism leaves and order and structure take place. They mutilated male strength in the West and were starting the same in Eastern Europe and part of Asia. Enough of flowers and feminine energy. Chaos can only be resolved by force. Ukraine became feminine, feminist and became chaos. Each monkey on its branch: each gender and strength in its role. The world needs order and structure.
Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov gives a clear and unequivocal leadership briefing. The choice of correct rhetorical art inspires a clear understanding among both enemy and comrade. Zhukov himself could, I think, not improved on the briefing. Bravo! Everybody knows where he stands, friend and foe.
Having read the speeches of to-day, I wished to read other speeches> https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1945/05/09v.htm

Note “Being aware of the wolfish habits of the German ringleaders, who regard treaties and agreements as empty scraps of paper, we have no reason to trust their words. However, this morning, in pursuance of the act of surrender, the German troops began to lay down their arms and surrender to our troops en masse. This is no longer an empty scrap of paper. This is actual surrender of Germany’s armed forces. True, one group of German troops in the area of Czechoslovakia is still evading surrender. But I trust that the Red Army will be able to bring it to its senses. ”
Some people may detect similarities to “not contract capable”, ahem…so, was Comrade S correct that Hitler got away? and what did happen to Bormann? And who helped them?

Always impressed the way Russian military looks acts & talks like the real thing from their top leaders down. Same as the Russian diplomats from the wonderful Lavrov down & at the top of course VVP. No yankee bs, no pommy con – real life. Thank you for being here
what a summary! Not to be argued with?
With little real knowledge of what is happening on twhwe ground, there is enuf to suggest this was a paid for event….prepared to strike alll at once. Also apparent is that russia was waiting and ready to respond. Regardless of the instigator, russia has gained a superior relationship with kazakiatan, thus the pre eminent strtegic position in all of the eurasian center. Me thinks the west has been snookered!
It is also a ” coded message’ to ukies in Kiev, a possible same kind of op(rus only) force 1000 may happen to them sooner than later, no need for ‘invasion’…
Assalaamu Aleekum dear Saker,
I wish you a happy and Merry Orthodox Christian Christmas and pray to Allah to keep you safe and your loved ones in these Anti-christical times.
It seems like the AngloZionists struck again. This time in Kazakhstan. I pray to Allah to help the Russian peace keepers along with their allies to restore peace in Kazakhstan. I also pray Allah to bring wisdom to the minds of my fellow Muslims in Kazakhstan and enable them to understand that change through peaceful means is much more powerful than destroying their own countries. These color revolutions have destroyed most of the Arab world. Arab countries that are non shoe shiners of uncle Shmuel (as dear Saker likes to say it) nor betrayers of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through their alliance with the temporary false Messiah Zionist State in the levant. AKA the biggest oppressor on earth.
Salaam brother Andrei.

There’s mention of concern for the harsh talk. I understand the arguement, but speaking for myself I find it refreshing. And also reassuring.
The ones who control and rule over the west will lie anyways. It’s their nature.
I pray much God blesses their country, theirs friends Russia, China, and others. May God bless also their swift harsh destruction of the puputrators. Hang them from the street lamps. Yes, it’s righteous to do so as a warning.
Righteous men speak harshly wben times call. John the Baptist spoke bluntly and surly didnt beg and plead apologizing before his murderous execution. Surly Paul the Apostle spoke harshly. Our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God spoke harshly. It’s good to hear words of righteous violence and to know its being carried out. Righteous tnat is. I read the comments on nearly all posts on here. I’m grateful to God for guiding me to find this blog, tnis commu ity of like minded good people. I know none of you personally, nor where you are in the world, but it’s good knowing tbat tberes still many strong, God fearing, faithful men, and some women too, in the world. Believe me theres so many, and only by the grace of God I WAS one of them just a couple years ago, who do not see, do not understand those so called chosen ones not only rule over us in the west but are working hard to destroy us. Most peopke are so blind to reality. Even today tbey believe I the two party system. Fools! The tbink one news channel is better than the otbers. Fools! That we have freedom. Filthy Fools! Yes I live them and will continue to get them to wake up but God bless help us before it’s too late.
Sorry for rambling. God bless you all. And God bless the light of beautiful Russia. Christmas by the calender., the 7th. Belated Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
God bless.
“The Democratic Party used the riots to generate animosity against President Trump’s re-election campaign and they also encouraged illegal and illegitimate voting machinations to steal the 2020 presidential election.”
Its rather bizarre to compare the current situation in Kazakhstan to what you label as the” BLM/Antifa riots” during the Trump administration. As far as I know, no law enforcement agents were beheaded in America, there were no coordinated attempts by armed gangs to seize military bases, police precincts or other government buildings. The levels of violence on display in Kazakhstan are obviously far greater than anything that occurred in the USA during Trump’s time in office.
Clearly you are a Trump supporter and you are entitled to your own opinion but its absolutely ridiculous to compare the violent insurrection in Kazakhstan to the 2020 protests against police abuses in the USA.
Don’t think it is beneficial to post that under the title
“Summary of Briefing from Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov..”
As if this is official Russian position and then to include what Kots had to say.
By far not everybody who claims to be patriot is in fact honest, informed and actually works for the good cause.
Especially for the part of the western auduence which whants real info for the Russian poin of view, but does,t speak Russian language and relies on translation and interpretation from a trusted source as your blog – their perception gets distorted.
This gives amunition for propaganda campaign about “killing peasefull demonstrators”
Would you kindly point out the ‘peaceful demonstrators’ and where they are now. Yes, there were some. But kindly point it out for us.
Does this not support in full the very next posting? /sitrep-kazakhstan-president-tokayev-addressed-the-nation/
Do you not think there was method in these two postings together?
I await your summary if you can do it better. It would be appreciated.
The fact remains that this post is titled “Briefing from Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov” when it is nothing of the sort.
It is Colonel Cassad’s own commentary on President Tokayev public address to the nation.
To claim otherwise is misleading, since Cassad’s interpretation of events is NOT the official position of either Tokayev nor Serdyukov.
One case in point: Cassad insinuates no less than three times that Nazarbayev is behind all this, and he interprets the speech as suggesting that Nazarbayev has already fled the country or has already been arrested.
Yet Tokayev’s speech did not mention Nazarbayev AT ALL. Not directly. Not in passing. Not even by insinuation.
Cassad is simply spinning that theory out of his own fertile mind.
Go read Tokayev’s speech. Nowhere does it suggest that Nazarbayev is involved in these events.
Nowhere.
Saker should change the headline, because it is monumentally misleading.
“1. Citizens of Alma-Ata are urged to stay indoors and observe the state of emergency until the remaining militants are shot.”
“2. Tokayev announced that the operation in Alma-Ata will continue until all militants have been exterminated.”
If Trump had dealt with BLM like this he’d still be president.
Most of, if not all of what happens in western media is Kabuki theatre for the sheeple masses. One should never take anything mentioned in the MSM as any kind of truth or gospel.
