It seems like it is, but it's not new either.

Eg. This was co-ed with their president 11 years ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/kazakhstans-steady-p...

Many signs that they have good-will for democracy, but I don't think it's easy in their position ( member of the CSTO and in Russia's "sphere of influence").

I have seen signs that they aren't just a puppet of Russia for example and I wasn't sure what was going on. But the article somewhat explained it.

That opinion piece is by the old leader Nazarbayev, who Tokayev just muscled out of power.

Thanks, didn't knew that.

But the ( natural) direction seems to be set either way.
