Metamorphoses

Metamorphoses

Kamilla Shokanova is perhaps the only real person in Kazakhstan, who sincerely admires Mukhtar Ablyazov. And until 2019, the object of admiration was Kamilla herself.

Articles were written about her, she was invited to an interview, she had thousands of subscribers on social networks. This girl was a model of stamina, faith in herself, she found very necessary and correct words for everyone who, like her, lives with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.

At that time of her life, Kamilla Shokanova spoke a lot about anger that lives in people. And she really believed that anger would be replaced by kindness. But quite the opposite happened – from a bright girl who helps people, Shokanova turned into an aggressive adherent of the DVK movement and part of the "Koshe" party that only exists on telegram, seeming to completely lose her common sense.

Until 2019, Shokanova wrote provocative posts, but then her goal was to show that people with cerebral palsy had the right to live, like everyone else. She conducted trainings for parents of children with such a diagnosis, taught them to accept their child and help him become a full -fledged member of society.
"I would like to emphasize that I work with my soul, not with my body. They often ask me – here is my son 4 years old, he has cerebral palsy, what should we do? The children are small, they are so happy, they still do not realize anything. And I'm not a doctor. Cerebral palsy is a very complex disease. Very complex. It manifests itself differently in each person. You can't give one piece of advice for everyone in terms of physical recovery. For example, I have a bunch of pathologies, because of which I faint.

But doctors generally told me that I would never be able to walk. I remember how I walked for a long time, holding on to the walls. Up to when I was 6-7 years old. And then I remember my joy at the age of 9, when I myself learned to climb the steps. I remember this feeling of joy very well – for me it was a real feat. I felt that I did it! So everything is solved! Everything will be fine!" She said in an interview.

Of the publications in the media about Kamille Shokanova, made before 2019, you can find out that she does not have very warm relations with her family, by profession she is a lawyer, is fond of interior design and sometimes takes orders for its development.

In early 2019, Shokanova published her book entitled "Live without cerebral palsy, a long nose and other troubles" and with the signature: "From a strong spirit of a girl with a diagnosis of cerebral paralysis".

Kamilla commented on her book as follows:
"It's hard for me to talk about the family – we have a whole series there, a detective, whatever you want to call it. And to avoid making matters worse, I prefer to be silent. The book became ripe after a scandal. It untied my hands to write. I also do not speak about work. I have my own business. I do not want to mix it with my name. Therefore, answering the question about where I work, I often... lie. Or I say, this is not related to the topic of cerebral palsy."

However, Kamilla did not disdain frankly hype themes: she touched upon the language question, wrote about sex, but in the summer of 2019 the main topic of publications by Kamilla Shokanova became Ablyazov, DVK and rallies.

On July 8, 2019, the first post dedicated to Mukhtar Ablyazov appeared on Kamilla's page on Facebook. Shokanova, slightly contradicting herself, wrote that she messaged the banker in all social media networks with a request for an interview for a long time, and he "agreed without a problem".
"We talked about a lot. About the stupid power, about the 2019 elections, that Mukhtar loves to eat and what is the secret of youth. As well as about Ivan Kolunov (precedent in Russia), about why Navalny is alive.

We talked about the definition of "extremism." I searched for at least one base on which we can conclude that the programs of the DVK are extremist. They also talked about Mukhtar Dzhakishev, who has been sitting in prison for 10 years for nothing.

In short, look) Thanks to Mukhtar for his patience! ", – wrote Shokanova.

And then the posts dedicated to the Parisian resident went in a continuous stream. Like solitary pickets that Kamilla began to conduct with enviable regularity, and in the media she was no longer called a "model with cerebral palsy", but an activist.

Part of the chess party of Ablyazov?

It is difficult to say what moved Kamilla Shokanova when she decided to devote herself to the "struggle against the regime." Either she really found her calling, or the truth was imbued with reverent feelings for Mukhtar Kabulovich, either she consciously became part of his manipulations, or by naiveness surrendered to the ideas of DVK and does not understand that she herself is not of any interest to Ablyazov.

Some experts tend to see similarities in the actions of Kamilla, to the work of Russian activists with disabilities, and call it part of political technological games. Shokanova herself claims that she acts exclusively from her own beliefs:
"You know, it shocks me that some people genuinely believe that Mukhtar Ablyazov is paying me money. Well, how can people believe in this ?????? How??????? Where are their brains ??????? I am in a state of disbelief that there are people who can believe in such nonsense."

At the same time, Shokanova constantly says that she supports Ablyazov very much and dreams, "that every individual person becomes a "Mukhtar"."

At the same time, Shokanova constantly says that she supports Ablyazov very much and dreams, "that every individual person becomes a "Mukhtar"."
Her blind or purchased faith in the banker comes to the point that she categorically celebrates his criminal biography and does not recognize the facts of the theft proven in court:
"Perhaps a year and a half ago I could be talked into believing that Mukhtar Ablyazov is a fraudster, a thief who makes everything up. But now I can't do anything with myself – I know the truth."
"Perhaps a year and a half ago I could be talked into believing that Mukhtar Ablyazov is a fraudster, a thief who makes everything up. But now I can't do anything with myself – I know the truth."
And here, a quote for Kamilla, from her very own interview seems relevant: "Those who interpret the book incorrectly become fanatics. You need to think about every line of such books, you need to compare real facts. "

In her fanaticism, Shokanova goes very far. The most aggressive notes appeared in her rhetoric, and calls and actions are quite drawn to criminal articles.

From a beauty to the beast

From a beauty to the beast

In February 2021, Shokanova took part in an unauthorized rally, but at the event she did not stay long: people in civilian clothes put her in the car and drove her home.

This caused the tremendous anger of the activists, she wrote several posts in social networks, and in the comments she admitted that she “wanted to just kill these people in the most painful way possible.”
“May your children and parents die painfully and slowly. I wish you this with all my heart. My desires are always fulfilled !!!! Creatures !!!!!!”, Shokanova cursed the people in civilian clothes in her other publication.
“May your children and parents die painfully and slowly. I wish you this with all my heart. My desires are always fulfilled !!!! Creatures !!!!!!”, Shokanova cursed the people in civilian clothes in her other publication.
In addition, Shokanova posts the personal data of the police on social media networks, who either stand in a cordon during rallies or work with their detained participants in the police department. Moreover, she also indicates the personal information of their parents, wives, children and even addresses of residence.

Shokanova threatens the head of the KNB Massimov, pours Zhanar Akhmet with mud, exposes “Mamaika” (note – Mamai Zhanbolat) And calls to complain about the “Azattyk bench”.

But despite all this, she sometimes also demonstrates “human” qualities. For example, Shokanova was extremely outraged by the beating of activist Yuri Tolochko at the November rally in Almaty. She stood up to his defense rock hard and even quarreled slightly with Lyudmila Kozlovskaya, who refused to comment on the actions of the activist Tolochko, who came to the rally in a female dress in order to declare the rights of LGBT.

From the same publication you can find out that Shokanova provides montly financial assistance to “one of the activists in need”.
“I am often asked, why I financially support some, but not others. Well, for starters, I want to say, that I am very tired of this question.

Secondly, despite everything that you see in my social networks, let's not forget that I am a disabled person with a manual of 50 thousand tenge. I can’t physically transfer money to everyone. I would like to, but I can’t. I really would like to do more for people.

Well, I provide monthly financial help, depending on the situation. In some months I provide more financial assistance, in some months only as much I can afford to. First of all, it is important whom I exactly help, ”writes Shokanova.

And here again, the question arises: on what kind of money does a member of the DVK, Kamilla Shokanova, receiving only 50 thousand in benefits and a year on self -isolation, live?

Is it really true that in Kazakhstan, disabled people with such a manual, can now afford an apartment in the new buildings of Almaty and expensive renovations in it, as Kamilla could in January of this year?

Kamilla Shokanova announced March 20, 2021 as a day of rally. Exclusively police officers, who organized duty posts on “Astana Square” in Almaty responded to the call of the activists – there were no other participants except for them and Shokanova.

As the organizer of the rally herself said, everything went "according to the stupid scenario." However, Shokanova, was not satisfied with such a small action, and decided to continue her activity on social media networks, where she posted Live streams.
