New from The Beet: For many, Russia’s all-out war against Ukraine has inspired a reexamination of the Soviet Union’s violent legacy. @CharlieDelmas reports on Kyrgyzstan’s uneasy return to memory. https://t.co/fZiHwt4WNG @meduza_en
💬"Nous sommes devenus les otages de la Russie"
Sur la voie de l’adoption d’une loi sur les "agents de l’étranger", le Kirghizstan se rapproche du modèle russe, alors qu’il a longtemps fait exception en Asie centrale.

In our latest article, Emma Collet explains the wide-ranging effects of Bishkek’s unresolved waste problem and how activists and artists respond to it. Check it out below: https://t.co/VM6kha6kWc
Center-stage for the China-Central Asia summit in this week’s review of news from #Kazakhstan for @Vlastkz - but look out for a sanction-busting story and repressed protests https://t.co/pDcT36bimC
The Beet’s latest is now up on @meduza_en: @CharlieDelmas reports on the recent constitutional referendum in Uzbekistan, where President Shavkat Mirziyoyev just called a snap presidential vote that could pave the way for him to remain in power until 2037. https://t.co/0QzhwksmSK
Glad to share my first dispatch The Beet @meduza_en about last referendum in Uzbekistan that undoubtedly marks the beginning of a « Mirziyoyev era ». Thanks @EilishHart! https://t.co/iLKvHxp7ZI
After last year’s deadly crackdown on protests in Karakalpakstan, an old power play has given Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev a new start.
@CharlieDelmas reports for The Beet.

The Beet’s latest is out now! This week’s story is about Uzbekistan’s recent referendum. Plus, as a bonus for subscribers, @fabrice_deprez shares his impressions from a recent reporting trip to Kherson, which Ukrainian forces liberated 6 months ago today. https://t.co/36cDRxXPT8
This year, the parade on May 9 in Russia is a way to strengthen its influence on his "near abroad" and to show Putin is not so isolated. Central Asia serves Putin's interests wonderfully ☹️ https://t.co/18MtewXUDQ
8/ Dans le scrutin à venir, nul doute donc que Mirzioïev profitera de sa victoire pour réorganiser le gouvernement et se séparer d'Aripov.
Il aura ainsi les coudées franches pour mener tambour battant les réformes nécessaires à l'avènement de son Nouvel 🇺🇿
Reste à savoir avec qui
Just published! Writing on the @MoscowTimes, I argue that the process of authoritarian regeneration at play in #CentralAsia may open a new chapter in the region's relations w/ #Russia. https://t.co/FXcgg5DOvu
On the same day a court in Bishkek ruled in the govt's favor to shut down @RFERL's Kyrgyz Service, RFE/RL in partnership with @OCCRP@kloopnews & @Vlastkz released their latest investigation into corruption in Central Asia.

This is an outrageous decision to shut down @RFERL in Kyrgyzstan simply for doing its job as an independent media outlet. I hope media freedom wins the day in the end. Closure would be terrible for Kyrgyzstan's reputation @HRW https://t.co/OXcVt8b8KY
🚠Графический дизайнер Азамат Асан представил, как будут выглядеть канатная дорога и метро в Бишкеке.
Ранее вице-мэр Жыргалбек Шамыралиев сообщил, что над реками в Бишкеке хотят построить кольцевую канатную дорогу. Он также говорил, что мэрия планирует возведение метро.

Close to Nazarbayev, he was identified as the main organiser of the January 2022 protests. The Bloody January (Қанды қаңтар), meanwhile, is still described as "a carefully planned operation aimed at eliminating the country's top leaders," according to the official investigation.
