Russian citizen Ksenia Guzaeva, whose comments about Kazakhstan and the Kazakh people caused outrage among social media users, has been deported from the country following administrative proceedings and a fine imposed by the Kazakh authorities, reports Radio Azattyk.
On 13 August, the Astana police announced that Ksenia Guzaeva had left Kazakhstan.
“Previously, a court had held her administratively liable for provocative and indecent comments on social media. She has been banned from entering Kazakhstan for a period of five years,” the Astana police press office stated.
The Russian streamer had previously made negative remarks about Kazakhstan and the Kazakh people during a live broadcast, questioning whether Pavlodar was a Kazakh city. Internet users had called on the authorities to investigate the actions of the blogger, who had lived in Kazakhstan for some time.
