KZBlog is going down (2)
After some thought, I have decided not to renew KZBLog’s lease. As you may have noticed, I don’t do a lot of posting here anymore. I don’t have time to blog regularly. Thus I am taking the site down–it does generate some ad revenue but not as much as it costs to keep it up. […]

Article 14 Law on State Secrets: any info on Prez health or private life (incl vacation) is a state secret. Forgot about that. Hence secrecy

German Tabloid Reports Nazarbayev in Hospital (2)
Eurasianet.org is reporting that President Nazarbayev is in the hospital in Hamburg, according to the German tabloid Bild. Nazarbayev is officially on vacation and the Kazakhstan Embassy in Germany says they have no idea if he is there or not.
It seems to me that there are a lot of unscary possibilities here:
1) Some famous Kazakh guy is in the hospital and German tabloid reporters are just assuming it’s the President.
2) Nazarbayev is getting a physical or some routine exam. Possibly he regularly goes to Germany for such things. The press rarely reports on his going to the doctor.
3) It’s a complete lie.
In any case, since a million Russian and English language papers are reporting on this, it’s no wonder he tried to keep it secret if indeed he is in the hospital. I think it’s a bit early to panic.
