In recent days, videos have been actively discussed on the internet, suggesting that Nurlan Saburov provided financial assistance to Russian military personnel.
Background
It was recently reported that Nurlan Saburov has been banned from entering Russia for 50 years. This decision was reportedly made "in the interests of national security, compliance with legislation, and the protection of traditional spiritual and moral values." This decision was made after the comedian was detained at Moscow's Vnukovo airport upon returning from Dubai. Saburov refused deportation and purchased a ticket to Kazakhstan. He returned to Almaty on February 7, followed by Alexey Shcherbakov, another host of the show "What Happened Next."Lawyer Alexander Khaminsky noted that Saburov could challenge the entry ban into Russia if he changes his public stance regarding Russian politics. According to him, the reason for the ban was Saburov's statements against the war in Ukraine, as well as violations of migration and tax legislation.
On February 8, Nurlan Saburov commented for the first time on the entry ban into Russia, stating on Instagram that he does not intend to discuss the situation publicly — his lawyers will handle that. He also expressed gratitude to Russia for the opportunities it has provided him and asked journalists not to interfere in his private life.
Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Alibek Bakaev commented on the situation with Saburov, noting that "the person is a citizen of Kazakhstan, and if the Russian Federation has made such a decision, it is the internal matter of the country."According to him, such bans are not unique, and there are many similar cases. "I think he is neither the first nor the last to be banned from entering a particular country for a certain period," Bakaev added.
He also noted that each case is considered individually, and citizens can challenge such decisions through courts and authorized bodies. Responding to a question about Saburov's property in Russia, he emphasized that such issues are regulated by the legislation of the country where the property is located.
