  History of Kazakhstan - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In December 1986, Soviet premier Mikhail S. Gorbachev (in office 1985-1991) forced the resignation of Dinmukhamed Kunayev, an ethnic Kazakh who had led the republic as first secretary of the CPK from 1959 to 1962, and again starting in 1964.
During 1985, Kunayev had been under official attack for cronyism, mismanagement, and malfeasance; thus, his departure was not a surprise.
Kunayev had been ousted largely because the economy was failing.

 Perestroika [Sam Marcy]: Article 14 (1990)
The imperialist press, to the extent they covered it, implied that Kunayev was a Brezhnev supporter, a so-called conservative who would not follow the new line of restructuring (perestroika) of the Gorbachev administration.
Kunayev, however, had some points of criticism which showed that as far as Kazakhstan goes, he was looking in another direction.
This poses a considerable problem for the Gorbachev administration, which is intent on slowing down the development of such projects and concentrating the financial and technical resources of the country on utilizing high technology in selective areas, the ultimate aim being to modernize the entire industrial infrastructure of the USSR.

It seems that Kunayev's wife was jealous after learning that the wife of the Magadan Party secretary had been given as a gift an extremely expensive Japanese tea service.
Kunayev was stuck in Alma-Ata and Shcherbitsky, the Ukrainian Party chief, somehow could not coax his own plane to leave quickly enough from San Francisco to make it back in time to Moscow.
But just as he could never distance himself enough from a discredited ideology, Gorbachev's inability to jettison the Party nomenklatura and his political debts to the KGB spoiled his reputation over time in the eyes of a people that had grown more and more aware of the corruption and deceit in their midst.

An interest in metals research led to his appointment as president of the Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan (1952-55), and he was promoted to chairman of the republic's Council of Ministers in 1955, when Leonid Brezhnev was the republic's party leader.
Kunayev first became party leader in 1960 but lost the post two years later when Nikita Khrushchev sought a scapegoat for poor performance in the virgin lands program, intended to increase wheat production.
Although Kunayev's term was marked by autocratic ruthlessness and corruption, there were widespread protests when he was replaced in 1986.

One Politburo member who did not support Gorbachev's nomination was Dinmukhamed Kunayev, head of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan for a quarter of a century.
One important indication of Kunayev's prestige was that he himself was neither imprisoned nor indicted, and to this day is said to be alive and well and a strong supporter of the conservative grouping.
Kunayev's opposition to the reforms lay at the base of Gorbachev's effort to illegally and unconstitutionally remove him.

 Kazakstan Reform and Nationalist Conflict
In this period, Kazakstan was ruled by a succession of three Communist Party officials; the third of those men, Nursultan Nazarbayev, continued as president of the Republic of Kazakstan when independence was proclaimed in 1991.
In December 1986, Soviet premier Mikhail S. Gorbachev (in office 1985-91) forced the resignation of Dinmukhamed Kunayev, an ethnic Kazak who had led the republic as first secretary of the CPK from 1959 to 1962, and again starting in 1964.
Although Kazakstan had the third-largest gross domestic product (GDP--see Glossary) in the Soviet Union, trailing only Russia and Ukraine, by 1987 labor productivity had decreased 12 percent, and per capita income had fallen by 24 percent of the national norm.

But they did not by themselves constitute the kind of rupture that took place with the ouster of Dinmukhamed Kunayev, a Kazakh who was a member of the Politburo from 1966 until January 1987.
Kunayev's removal as First Secretary of the Kazakhstan Party in December 1986, and his replacement by a Russian, Gennadi Kolbin, was followed by a major rebellion in the capital of Alma-Ata.
His dismissal of Kunayev was not just an error of judgment, it was a brutal intervention in the internal affairs of what was considered then a constituent republic, the third largest.

Because Russians and other Europeans nearly equal the number of Kazakhs in the republic, virtually every public act requires a delicate balancing of differing interests.
On 16 December 1986, Mikhail Gorbachev replaced Kazakhstan's longtime leader Dinmukhamed Kunayev, a Kazakh, with a Russian from outside the republic.

In December 1986, two people were killed in severe fighting in Alma-Ata, in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan, after the first secretary of the Communist Party there, Dinmukhamed A. Kunayev, a Kazakh, was removed and replaced by Gennadi V. Kolbin, a Russian.
According to the official Soviet accounts, Kunayev was removed for corruption and inefficiency.

In general, however, establishing a rapport with foreign scientists and understanding their findings may be greatly facilitated through knowledge of the investigators' mother tongue.
For example, after failing to doorstep Kazakh Party Chief Dinmukhamed Kunayev, Remnick adopts a more diplomatic tack and sends him a list of ``nice'' questions to ensure that he gets the interview.

Until the 1950s Russians dominated the republic both numerically and politically.
However, although they continued to be subservient to Moscow, Kazakhs succeeded in gradually increasing their political power locally, especially under Dinmukhamed Kunayev, the first secretary of the Kazakh Communist Party (1962-86), who was a close friend of Leonid Brezhnev, general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).
At the same time the urban Kazakh population became increasingly Russified.
