Today on Elmedia, we're discussing a topic that has long since shifted from a private matter to a public one, as this phenomenon not only seriously damages our morals but also serves as another way for the state to conceal stolen assets. We're talking about polygamy—or tokalki, or "tokals"—which in Kazakhstan has become not only a practice outside the law and family traditions, but also has serious financial consequences for the country. We'll discuss Nursultan Nazarbayev's now-legalized wife, Timur Kulibayev's VIP tokal, the financial and political marriage of Dariga Nazarbayeva and Kairat Sharipbayev, the countless wives of former "bazaar committee" Bolat Nazarbayev, and Kairat Satybaldy's cunning "second wives," one of whom has already received two prison sentences. You'll also learn how the dispute between the tokalki of the Kostanay region's akim and an all-powerful anti-corruption crusader ended, leading to a lengthy prison sentence for the akim. It's generally believed that the fashion for second, third, and so on wives was introduced by President Nazarbayev. This is true, but with a slight caveat: the first president effectively legalized something that had been banned for many years. Although just 100 years ago, polygamy in our steppes wasn't a subject of speculation, but rather a social institution for protecting the family. But today, people have tokalki not to save their fellow tribesmen from hunger and loneliness, or to think about the demographics of their offspring. Today, the institution of tokalki arose for entirely different reasons—financial excess and the moral distortions of those in power. #Wives_Nazarbayeva #Assel_Kurmanbayeva #Goga_Ashkenazi #Timur_Kulibayev #Dariga_Nazarbayeva #Kairat_Sharipbayev #Bolat_Nazarbayev #Margot #Kairat Kozhamzharov #Akimov_Case #Polygamy_Kazakhstan #Gulzhan_Ergalieva #Elmedia #Elmedia ___________________________ #ELMEDIA on social networks: Facebook   / elmedia-102423532296859   Instagram   / elmedia_kz   Telegram https://t.me/elmedia_kz 00:00 - Screensaver 00:22 - Talkers and talkers of Kazakhstan 02:19 - Has Nazarbayev legalized polygamy? 3:10 AM - A Historical Excursion into Polygamy 6:49 AM - Did the Parliament Propose Legalizing Polygamy? 8:23 AM - Is Polygamy a Sacred Cause? 9:23 AM - Marat Tolybay Still Supports Polygamy 10:54 AM - A New Wave of Tokalization Promotion After the Transition of Power 1:12 PM - Kantar Suspends Debate on Legalizing Polygamy 2:14 PM - Has Nazarbayev Sown Anarchy in the Country's Family Structures? 3:38 PM - Elbasy Legalized Asel Kurmanbayeva's VIP Tokal in His Latest Book 4:31 PM - What Damage Does Tokalization Cause to the Country? 9:00 PM - The Most Famous Illegal Wife of Kazakh Kleptocrat Timur Kulibayev Abroad 10:52 PM - Is Goga Ashkenazi Nursultan Nazarbayev's Secret Daughter? 24:17 - Was Ashkenazi laundering Kulibayev's Kazakh capital? 27:27 - Did former General Dzhulamanov demand kickbacks for his tokal from his employees? 28:32 - Do Margarita Alexandrova's children call Kozhamzharov "daddy"? 30:05 - The scandal of two tokals 31:39 - Kostanay akims suffered due to the whims of tokals 32:43 - Are the participants in the "akimat case" victims of circumstance? 33:54 - Is Kairat Sharipbayev a tokal of Dariga Nazarbayeva? 35:50 - Bolat Nazarbayev's legal wives and tokals 36:45 - Polygamous families are common among religious adherents 37:23 - The business empire of tokals and wives of Kairat Satybaldy 40:44 - What surprise can await VIP kept women? 41:43 - Polygamy - an attack on the Constitution with the introduction of a monarchy 42:35 - The Kept Women of the Kazakh People 43:45 - Tocalism at the top awakens wild atavism at the bottom of society 44:23 - Has the topic of polygamy gone underground with Nazarbayev's departure?
