"War on history": the real reason?

[Jane Knox-Voina]

I agree. And I have just got on to this history discussion which seems very
interesting as I am watching the rewriting of history of Kazakhstan from a
less Soviet/Russian pro-Kazakh point of view, although tolerantnost' and
multi-nationalism are words on every TV anchorman's lips all day long. Thank
you for continuing this discussion. Jane Knox-Voina, IREX Embassy
Specialist, US Embassy Astana, Kazakhstan (at Bowdoin College whenver in the
