... the state border. Kazakhs waiting in line (at one of the check point in Chelyabinsk Oblast) to enter Russia decide to have issues with each-other in line. The instigator fled back to Kazakhstan after witnessed the way Russian Border Guards calmed things down and they really did.
After the lesson on politeness and orderly behavior on Russian territory, the checkpoint resumed operations... smoothly. Kazakhs are by far not the worst Middle Asia visitors to Russia, but once in a while some of them need a reminder: Sī fuerīs Rōmae, Rōmānō vīvitō mōre; sī fuerīs alibī, vīvitō sīcut ibī. Or, rephrasing Lenin (on Revolution)--the Empire is only worth something when it can defend itself. Decent people from the former USSR are welcomed in Russia.
