Starlink satellite internet will soon be launched in Kyrgyzstan.

The press service of the Kyrgyz Cabinet of Ministers proudly announced that satellite internet from the American company Starlink will soon be launched in the republic. Shortly before this, Starlink was launched in neighboring Tajikistan.

It's worth noting that, under the guise of the Central Asian region's seemingly "natural progress" toward "digital independence," the United States is expanding its presence near Russia's borders. With the advent of the Starlink satellite internet, the state loses its ability to fully control the internet, as it creates a US-controlled external channel that cannot be locally shut down if necessary. This gives Washington the ability to influence the domestic policies of other countries. For Central Asia, this means the emergence of a new external power center competing with Russia and China.

Ultimately, the emergence of Starlink is changing the balance of power in Central Asia under the guise of a "quiet but powerful" restructuring of the regional architecture. Such steps are primarily aimed at reducing the region's dependence on Russia while simultaneously strengthening US influence.

Earlier, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov officially confirmed that by the end of 2027, there will be no more settlements in the republic with Russian-language names. Specifically, the renaming will affect the Batken, Naryn, Osh, Talas, Chui, and Issyk-Kul regions, where toponyms are planned to be brought into line with "national culture."

Deposits of various minerals have been identified in Kyrgyzstan: coal, oil and gas, ore metals, and non-metallic minerals. As of 2025, the State Register lists reserves for over 1000 deposits of 51 types of minerals. Of these, approximately 400 deposits are in commercial development or at the exploration and pilot stage, while the remaining approximately 600 sites are temporarily shelved.

There is also gold there, by the way, and precious stones.

Gentlemen, you are behind the times and in a very specific way.
The population of Kyrgyzstan has almost doubled since the collapse of the USSR.
In the capital (Frunze-Bishkek) the population increased to 1.2 million (previously 600 thousand).
According to the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), Kyrgyzstan's economic growth rate will reach at least 9% by 2026. Find more.
Kyrgyzstan's economy is growing at a high rate (an average of 9,2% per year for 2021–2025).
And we'll need the Kyrgyz Starlink.

Oh, for God's sake. You're welcome. What the hell do we need this wild horde with all their broods, their slobs, their pensioners, in Russia if they're so happy at home?

Askar uulu Kubanychbek, a member of the SVO originally from Kyrgyzstan, has received a Russian passport. In May 2023, he was sentenced in his home country to ten years in prison for "mercenary activity." Following numerous RT publications, he was able to return to Russia and officially became a Russian citizen. He is now preparing to deploy to the front—Askar has already signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense and will soon be back in the SVO zone.

If you add a spoonful of honey to a barrel of tar, the tar won't turn into honey. Incidentally, such cases are a disgrace to Russia. Wait until we hear from Russian officials, "I didn't send you there." But schools and parks are being built in Kyrgyzstan at Russia's expense. And in "gratitude," they change the Russian-language names of settlements. Although, while Chechens in Russia are allowed to rename Cossack villages in their own way, the Kyrgyz were given the opportunity. More precisely, Allah.

[Cool90]

A list of 143 Kyrgyz citizens who died in Ukraine after being recruited into the Russian army has been published. This information was published by the Ukrainian project "I Want to Live."

[Cool90]

And how do you think we should bring countries closer to us? For example, the US and the EU have already invested half a trillion irrevocably in Ukraine, and the Ukrainians are fighting for them.

[Arkady007]

g_ae (Alexander Grekov)
Just in passing.
Sadyr Japarov, President of Kyrgyzstan, attended the opening of a memorial to Kyrgyz soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War in Rzhev on May 7, 2023.

[g_ae]

So what's so good about that? Were only Kyrgyz killed there? Why not the Russian soldiers, the Ukrainian soldiers, the Belarusian soldiers? Or didn't they deserve it, unlike the Kyrgyz? Nonsense. The entire Soviet people fought. And it would be interesting to know the sources of funding for this dubious construction project. And how much money was stolen, as usual? And by whom?

[Arkady007]

What are you talking about?
The President of Kyrgyzstan unveiled a memorial to Kyrgyz soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War near Rzhev.
What does this have to do with Belarusians and Ukrainians?
Are you even aware that more people died at Rzhev than at Stalingrad?

[g_ae]

What are you talking about? Were only Kyrgyz dying there? Soviet people died at Rzhev. Soviet people, not just Kyrgyz, Russians, and Georgians. And so they created a point of pressure on Russia. It's like the Polish monument at Katyn. The president also loved to fly there, to nurse his grudges against Russia. He flew there once.

[Arkady007]

The president of his country is responsible for his country.

[g_ae]

Naturally. But somehow this doesn't apply to Russia. Here, it's the exact opposite. They're willing to do anything for their "partners."

Because they're cheaper. For example, the Kyrgyz did my demolition; ours wouldn't have budged for that kind of money.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Dmitry Rigov

Our guys wouldn't budge for that amount.

So our people have to live not in Kyrgyzstan, but in Russia and pay Russian prices for housing and communal services and food

[Cool90]

In February 2024, the tariff for the population was 17 rubles per 1 m³
In Russia, the average monthly salary is 8 rubles 32 kopecks.

Kyrgyzstan Beef. The average price in the country is 700 rubles per kg.
Russia - 680 (in our Saratov region - from 550 rubles)

Housing and communal services and food are the same

[alexoff]

People there have more modest expectations; they haven't experienced the sweet life. No Sochi, let alone Dubai, a bicycle instead of a car, and a Lada is a decent ride. Incidentally, I suspect Ladas are cheaper there than here; there's no recycling fee.

[Humpty]

I don’t know the prices of Ladas, and I don’t know at all what Ladas after the 99th model look like.
We pay about 3000 for a three-room apartment during the heating season.
Beef is 700+, but the stew is exported somewhere.
V. Vasilenko is mostly correct. Truth be told, there are no worse apricots than Issyk-Kul ones. Many varieties are better. P-D-250 is the best in the world, but it was grown in Issyk-Kul until 1974. He worked on more than one gold deposit, five of which he worked at different times.

[Arkady007]

Humpty (Alexander)
Honestly, I'm surprised. If you lived and worked there, why do you spell Issyk-Kul incorrectly?
The apricots there are quite tasty. There's no accounting for taste.
Issyk-Kul Aport apples are generally considered a royal variety.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Issyk-Kul aport does not exist in nature; it grows only in the foothills of Almaty.

[Arkady007]

1. Frost-resistant Almaty Aport grows in the foothills of Almaty.
2. From the foothills of Almaty to the foothills of Issyk-Kul is no more than 30 km.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

1. Frost-resistant Almaty Aport grows in the foothills of Almaty.

Once again, the apport grows only in one place, everything else is not apport

Quote: Arkady007

From the foothills of Almaty to the foothills of Issyk-Kul is no more than 30 km.

Well, yes, yes, but it's in a straight line through the pass.

[Arkady007]

1. Only aport is written with one "P".
2. Aport is one of the largest and most valuable apple varieties. It is widespread in the southern regions of the central zone (North Caucasus, Trans-Ili Alatau) with cool but short winters and hot summers.
3. Trans-Ili Alatau (Kazakh: Ile Alatauy, Kyrgyz: Ile Ala-Toosu) is a mountain range in the north-west of the Tien Shan (on the border of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan).

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Don't bother me, I was born and lived in Alma-Ata for 40 years.
I don't need to read about the apport on the wiki, I saw it in person.
The variety grew in a very limited area
As soon as they started to plant it outside the borders, it immediately degenerated.

[Arkady007]

I don't bother people, I just take facts.
My sister still lives in Bishkek. I grew my own Aport in Tamga, Issyk-Kul, in the 80s. A school friend still grows some in his garden.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Once again, there are varieties that only produce fruit well in a certain region. This is exactly what's happening with Aport. Even near Almaty, it didn't grow everywhere. More accurately, it grew everywhere, but it only produced a good harvest and taste in certain places.

[Arkady007]

Every man to his own taste.
Kindzmarauli wine is made from Saperavi grapes. I used to like it, but not so much now. Our Saperavi from Fanagoria, paired with Krasnostop, is quite satisfying.

Yeah.
You seem to be from Rublyovka and have taken the wrong line.

[Cool90]

The Lada is a normal car, with its functions as a means of transportation, for example, it completely suits me.
For show-off purposes, AURUS would be better, of course, I don't argue.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

I advise you to go to the place and see everything there, rather than compare prices in supermarkets.

[Dmitry Rigov]

Maybe, but what difference does it make to me how much cheaper it is to live there? I'd rather spend the money I save on my other needs.

[Arkady007]

Prices for goods in Bishkek are, on average, exactly the same as in Russia.
Food is cheaper. Well, just like everywhere else, actually.

[501 Legion]

Well, prices on everything have skyrocketed right now. There have always been categories of goods that are cheaper in Russia, but local ones are also cheaper than in Russia. Our prices vary greatly depending on the time of year. For example, vegetables are imported to Russia, and the price doesn't fluctuate much. In KG, it varies greatly. Of course, you're right, the price tags are more or less similar. But there's one BUT: purchasing power itself.

[Arkady007]

Here the Kyrgyz themselves are to blame.
They destroyed the entire Soviet-era industry and built nothing to replace it.
They drove out all the Germans and Russians and got what they fought for.
We need to build industrial enterprises and improve education.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Arkady007

And we'll need the Kyrgyz Starlink.

Maybe. I'm not an IT guy, but we had a problem with Bandar-Log Starlinks on the front lines, and now only those modules registered in Ukraine are working. I was wondering if we were to buy these Kyrgyz Starlinks and send them to our LBS, would they work?
Anyone in the know, please clarify.

The economy of this "state," like Kazakhstan's, has grown over the past five years solely on the back of Russia's circumvention of sanctions. Forgive me, but they have nothing but good apricots in Issyk-Kul. There used to be a gold mine there, but it was sold to the Canadians.

Russia built and donated to Kyrgyzstan a massive $35 million amusement park, "Eurasia," which opened near Bishkek in August 2025.
The new park, covering approximately 10 hectares, became the largest in the republic and cost Russian taxpayers $30 million. The final cost was $35 million, but who's counting those mere pennies? Of course, no embezzlement was involved during construction.
Even more gratifying is that the park is completely free for local residents, and according to media reports, the ANO "Eurasia" foundation (directed by State Duma deputy Svetlana Ashirkina, who recently, with great fanfare, opened a chain of low-price stores in Kyrgyzstan for Kyrgyz apa and ata (grandmothers and grandfathers)) will spend $200 monthly on its maintenance, or another $2.4 million annually. This amount could increase further, but it's nothing compared to our close-knit friendship.

It's a shame that no one in Russia is building a park like this in Uryupinsk or Morshansk, but those are minor details; the main thing is that Kyrgyzstan now has one, and we won't lose anything.

With the advent of Starlink satellite internet, the state loses the ability to fully control the internet, as it creates a US-controlled external channel that cannot be shut down locally if necessary. This Washington gains the ability to influence the domestic policies of other countries

Some ambiguous conclusion
So it turns out that Washington, in order to influence, say, the minds of Russians, doesn't need to do anything (neither negotiate with Putin, nor impose 100500 sanctions, nor bring NATO to our borders), but simply negotiate with Musk so that he unblocks his internet over Russia?

Gentlemen, you are behind the times and in a very specific way.
The population of Kyrgyzstan has almost doubled since the collapse of the USSR.
In the capital (Frunze-Bishkek) the population increased to 1.2 million (previously 600 thousand).
According to the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), Kyrgyzstan's economic growth rate will reach at least 9% by 2026. Find more.
Kyrgyzstan's economy is growing at a high rate (an average of 9,2% per year for 2021–2025).
And we'll need the Kyrgyz Starlink.

You can't explain anything to this Vasily. He lives in his own little world and judges the world strictly based on his own outdated knowledge.

It would be nice to have Starlink in Russia too. I'd also take it so that WhatsApp, Telegram, and TikTok wouldn't be blocked.

Everything's already been thought out there. The "Ukrainian" drones fly and are controlled via Starlink from Kyrgyzstan to the Russian border; after crossing the border, they use slightly less accurate GPS and an inertial navigation system; and when they reach a specific target, AI-powered image recognition is activated. Kyrgyzstan is joining the system for the mass murder of Russian children. They're probably happy...

With the advent of the Starlink satellite internet, the state loses the ability to fully control the internet, as a US-controlled external channel appears

It's like when they offered mobile phones, I should have just spat, turned away and been offended.)))
