They weren´t just pirating overpriced books, they were pirating everything, including cheap books, and for a profit, pirate websites make a ton of money with advertising, but I totally understand if people on low income pirate things, the problem root however is that nobody should be low waged, it is not the writers fault.

Kazakhstan is ranked 155 out of 180 countries on the World Press Freedom Index, their authoritarian government has nothing to envy from the media in the West.
Although the igniter are energy prices, Kazakhstan is a pseudo-democracy of limited free press and limited free speech, they can even arrest you for practising religion outside of state control, that is why people are so angry, while in Europe or USA people can protest some other way, the chances of doing it peacefully in Kazakhstan are very small.
In what kind of country do you think the government takes down the Internet because of protests? Only in an authoritarian regime like Kazakhstan, it would be unthinkable doing that in the US or EU.
They are going to be using whoever moves there for anti-US & anti-European propaganda, and supporting Russia is also going to mean supporting their main allies, Iran and China, no thank you.
Moving there is like giving up on your own country, it is perfectly possible to build a small community of 200 people in any Western country and keeping free speech which is something you won´t have in Russia, and I am not going to even get started about the living standards in comparison to what you have back at home.
