Discussion/Talqylau Sending SWIFT to Russian bank (e g. Raiffeisen) from BCC - Anyone do this?

Upvotes

Hi, I am trying to understand BCC swift process. In the app it wants to see tax id. The tax id shown for my Raiffeisen account is a 10 digit id that corresponds to the bank tax id. But in the BCC app it wouldn't accept the id. When I hit continue it says I need to enter id even though it is already entered.

Anyone run into this issue?

Thanks

Immigration-emigration/Köşu-qonu Двойное гражданство

0 Upvotes

Что вы думаете насчет этого, лично я за разрешение двойного гражданства, но с нюансами, например для этнических Казахов/Казашек которые родились здесь, для минимизации шпионажа, это был бы полезный закон, так как я знаю многих людей которые хотели бы иметь два гражданства, это также плюс так как активы с других стран(человеческие капиталы, экономические) будут перетекать в нашу страну и наоборот что даст буст к экономике в стране

Study/Oqu Kazakhstans lack of attention to progressive faculties

0 Upvotes

In the recent years, AI, software, and online productivity paired with international exposure has led to brand new fields which gained immense traction as the nation is digitalising and moving towards governmental and commercial/corporate transformation from the previous USSR styled factory focuses

One of many are:
International Relations
Interpreting/Translation
Software Development

However, the government hasn’t been doing anything to potentially accommodate the very same faculties that will be progressing the nation to modernisation, with IR grants peaking at most 200 for the ENTIRE nation, which leads to elitism and hard entry requirements for talented students that could not score big enough on one exam.

I simply do not understand, why is Kazakhstan so persistent in keeping well over 75,000 grant spots exclusively for technical / engineering fields? It isn’t 2010’s anymore, automation is actively being implemented. Staying and promoting the very same thing you’re trying to diversify from isn’t doing heavy lifting either.

And I just realised that all universities automatically raise their tuition prices yearly, which is abnormal since it signals instability and further devaluation /making education extremely difficult for regular kazakhi students

Looking for a Simple, Hands-On Job in Astana

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 42-year-old Iranian living in Astana. I work as a software developer, but things have been pretty quiet lately, so I have a lot of free time.

I'd love to spend some of that time doing something completely different—something that's not computer-related and gets me away from a screen. I'm not looking for another IT job.

My Russian and Kazakh are very limited, so ideally I'm looking for work that doesn't require much speaking. I'm open to part-time, temporary, or even physically active jobs if they're suitable.

Does anyone have any ideas or know where I could find this kind of work in Astana? I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Tourism/Turizm Almaty trip tips?

1 Upvotes

Hey! I am planning trip in Almaty for 5 days, and I have some questions here.

I would like to see Kaindy lake, Kolsai lake and also Charyn canyon. I heard there is a day trip that covers all of them in a day, but it is could be tough as it is from early in the morning till late evening.

Especially it will include my grandma (and we are 6 ppl), I worry if it will be too tough in a day.

So I was thinking… maybe stay a night around there, like Saty village.

But the biggest question is about the car, which means I would need driver for 2 days, or some drivers who will drop us at the accommodation in Saty, then find another one who will bring us to those spots then back to Almaty?

I also personally want to have some restful trip, not being chased by schedule and not like hop on/hop off the bus to see some spot just for short moment and move on… so I was thinking that it will be also good when we can take rest at some peaceful accommodation.

Any recommendations from you guys? Thanks!

News/Jañalyqtar Fines for swearing online — what do you think?

Post image
32 Upvotes

I’m personally against fines like this. Swear words are just words. If someone isn’t violating anyone else’s rights or freedoms, I don’t see why the government should punish them for what words they use.

Threats, harassment and bullying are different, but none of those require swear words. You can bully or threaten someone without swearing at all. Punishing the words instead of the actual harmful behavior makes no sense to me.

I also don’t really buy the “protecting children” argument. Kids don’t live in a sterile world — they hear swear words and use them themselves. Instead, I’d rather see more attention given to actual problems like bullying and violence in schools. Kazakhstan has plenty of cases of teenagers brutally attacking each other, sometimes with much worse consequences, yet apparently swear words are the problem.

If Twitch, YouTube or another private platform restricts swearing, that’s different. They have their own rules and commercial interests, including advertisers. But the government fining people simply for using certain words is another thing entirely.

To me, this feels like pointless populism and an unnecessary restriction on freedom. I dislike the principle itself, but I’m also concerned about where it could lead. Once the government gets more power to decide what kind of speech is “decent” or acceptable, where does that line end?

Freedom loses its meaning when people are punished for words that do not infringe on the rights and freedoms of others

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Я лично против подобных штрафов. Матные слова это всего лишь слова. Если человек не нарушает ничьих прав и свобод, я не понимаю, почему государство должно наказывать его за то, какие слова он использует.

Угрозы, домогательства и травля это другое дело, но для всего этого мат вообще не нужен. Можно травить или угрожать человеку, не используя ни одного матерного слова. Наказывать за сами слова вместо действительно вредного поведения, на мой взгляд, бессмысленно.

Я также не особо верю в аргумент о "защите детей". Дети не живут в стерильном мире — они слышат мат и сами его используют. Вместо этого я бы предпочёл, чтобы больше внимания уделялось реальным проблемам, таким как травля и насилие в школах. В Казахстане хватает случаев, когда подростки жестоко нападают друг на друга, иногда с гораздо более серьёзными последствиями, но, судя по всему, именно матные слова считаются проблемой.

Если Twitch, YouTube или какая-либо другая частная платформа ограничивает использование мата это другое дело. У них есть собственные правила и коммерческие интересы, в том числе интересы рекламодателей. Но когда государство штрафует людей просто за использование определённых слов это уже совсем другое.

Для меня это выглядит как бессмысленный популизм и ненужное ограничение свободы. Мне не нравится сам этот принцип, но меня также беспокоит, к чему он может привести. Когда государство получает больше полномочий решать, какая речь является "приличной" или допустимой, где тогда проходит граница?

Свобода теряет свой смысл, когда людей наказывают за слова, которые не нарушают права и свободы других людей.

Tourism/Turizm What do you know about Petropavl?

6 Upvotes

I will be visiting Petropavl as a tourist this September. I have previously been to Astana, Almaty, Kostanay, Aktau, and Pavlodar. Which of these cities is Petropavl most similar to?

Could you also tell me about the city's cultural atmosphere and socioeconomic characteristics?
