Kazakhstan at 70s
It has been said on some news sites today that people of the village named Gold located in Romania (which is 2000 away from Kazahstan and in Europe) try to sue “Borat” movie creators in court of New York.
They claim that they were told it’s a just a documentary about poverty in Romania, and were shocked when they found themselves in a comedy movie about… Kazakhstan.
I don’t know how big are their odds to win the case, but here are the photos of Kazakhstan 30 years ago, from Soviet archives at Soviet Museum. Soviet chronicles of course tried to tape mostly the merits leaving behind all the poverty etc. Still Kazakhstan even at that time had industry and was famous for its coal mining and cotton production.
Also I’ve read on different websites that Borat is speaking Hebrew to his fellow villagers in the movie trailer.

jagshemash. it borat here. i want everybody know that this is a fabrication of lies. these picturs were superchanged by the assholes uzbeks. i can prove this. if u look at reporting #5 u can look that a man in blue hat is a homosexual and man in black hat is not homosexual. homosexuals not allowed to be on same field with no-homosexual because they will do bung-bung in thair anus.
Borat rocks.
30 years ago, even in Kazakhstan, there was no poverty to capture on photo. There is now.
30 years ago the was no poverty captured on photo, only unphotographed poverty…
Hi, the village name is Glod (not Gold) and it means ‘Dirt’ in Romanian.
Otherwise, I agree that the poverty was left unphotographed, as well as crimes against humanity that were not so uncommon those days.
there were some reports in the local papers here in the US that BORAT (or “BORDT” in the weird Roman-Cyrillic hybrid alphabet they sometimes use) has had the effect of getting some westerners interested in Kazahkstan.
I’m not sure how true that his, but it’s an interesting development.
Kazahks should take advantage of this and try to generate some western tourist income.
yesterday, our premier Nazarbaev visited kings and queens in U.& K. He express very positive toward me. he say he like a interest in Kazakhstan from my movie films fans. chinquee.

Is that potassium?
on first and last picturs you can see how pubis are process after harvest.
Jagshemash, DzenDobry, Dzekuje are not Hebrew but Polish…
Niiiice! High five!
On last picture it’s a supermarket of toilet paper, a lot to choose from
In the movie Borat also spoke polish, arabic, some russian as well as hebrew.
And the most pissing me of thing is that “kazach” is speaking polish !!!
jagshemash means “how are you”,
cheashch means “hi”,
etc. most important polite words and sentences in polish (and only in that language).
So this briliant young guy buid a vision of kazachstan in american and european eyes by mixing romanian village, with polish words
In the borat movie dont see this LOL
Borat is a movie for retards.))
Borat is there, and always has been there, not to mock the peoples of Central Asia, but to mock the people that Sascha Baron-Cohen picks on.
Yes, in one of the scenes it’s pretty much agreed that he’s speaking Hebrew, but as said above, most of his key-words are Polish.
The whole idea is to make a character so ridiculously unbelievable that it’s hard to think that anyone could fall for ‘Borat’, and yet, however, they do.
the slide show is great, ALmaty is my home…..about Borat… it is not about KAzakhstan that much, it is about Americans having absolutely NO clue where the KZ is and what that country all about…their reaction that’s what funny not the gypsies in Romania….
People, in general, are stupid.
Now that everyone has become familiar with American Hollywood productions for producing such Shit as Borat and the fact that most of the world hates the American government. Maybe we should have been able to understand the purpose behind Hitler’s regime. Too late now isn’t it!
