An online campaign has been launched in Kazakhstan calling for the cancellation of shows by Azamat Musagaliyev, a prominent Russian comedian of Kazakh origin, over his recent performance in Ukraine's Russian-controlled Donetsk region. Shows by Musagaliyev, and the Kamyzyaki satirical group, are planned to be held in Astana and Almaty in early October.
