Edit. Yes I know that some of the flags were messed up and switched around in this video. I failed to notice them from my animator before uploading the video. Kind of a goofy mistake, but Romania shows the flag of Ukraine at some point for some reason? And then Latvia/Lithuania got their's switched around. I deeply apologize to all Latvians/Lithuanians and Romanians I have undoubtedly offended by these series of tragic mistakes.

[@lekevire]

I mean, technically it's not the USSR, it'd just be called the Kazakh SSR, because the USSR requires: UNION❌ SOVIET✅ SOCIALIST✅ REPUBLIC✅

[@justsaadunoyeah1234]

It is a union of Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Generally well-detailed video. But I would add a couple of points: 1. “Strong” support for the preservation of the Union in Kazakhstan at the time should take into account the fact that often-marginalized native ethnic Kazakhs were far from constituting a majority in their own land (as a result of Moscow’s deliberate and targeted migration policies). There was a significant Russian population that were afraid of being cut off from Mother Russia (most of them left now). 2. At the time, Nazarbayev, the first secretary of Kazakh Communist Party, seeing the downfall of Eastern European dictators one by one, was terrified of losing power himself; so he saw the Union’s preservation as essential for him to cling to power. The referendum was not free and fair, so of course he would ensure the correct result. Guess what, the state narrative now is that he was at the forefront of the independence struggle. (P.S. By the way, it did work out well for him in the end: he was an insanely rich dictator ruling over the impoverished people, and the capital was named after him for a bit after he stepped down, though it's now back to Astana after the current government wants to move away from Nursultan). 3. The date of declaration of Independence is purely symbolic. Long before that, there had been no illusion about the continuation of the Union. Instead, it’s an homage to December 16, 1986, the start of the student protests (suppressed with massive, brutal force) that opposed Moscow’s replacement of the ethnic Kazakh Party leader by a Russian with no ties to the country.

The official Russian line is that by the time of its declaration on 8 December 1991, the Soviet Union had ceased to exist and that it was not seceding, but rather declaring an existing fact. Kazakhstan didn't purport to declare itself as independent, but rather signed the treaty creating the Commonwealth of Independent States, which similarly stated that the Soviet Union had ceased to exist. Thus, Russia and Kazakhstan were basically saying, "Yeah, that thing we used to call a superpower has gone the way of the Roman Empire and we'd better update our official documents accordingly."
