In early September, the media and social networks spread a video from the celebration, which was allegedly organized by a Kazakh policeman for his grandson, who became a schoolboy. We checked whether the video is truthful and its description.
In the video, which shared Russian-speaking media and Telegram channels on September 1 and 2, the festival is shown, apparently, in honor of the boy, whom people in ethnic costumes to the music are brought into the Palankin hall. With signatures like “The grandson of the head of the traffic police Pavlodar (Kazakhstan) celebrates on September 1” and “Nothing unusual, just the grandson of the head of the traffic police Pavlodar goes to first grade” The video posted Telegram channels "Ax 18+" And "The ax live" (2.3 million and 601,000 views at the time of writing analysis, respectively), ""Ukraine now: news, war, Russia" (444,000), Nexta Live (295,000), "Ribbon" (181,000) and many others. According to the TG Stat service, the total coverage of such publications exceeded 5 million views in two days. The video also became popular on the social network X (previously Twitter) - one of posts There I scored 862,000 views. The plot got into some media: TV channel "Tsargrad" He said that "the local traffic cop made a magnificent celebration for his grandson," and "New news" They signed the video as follows: "The boy from the" respected "Kazakh family is honored, like the heir to the tsarist throne." Commentators of the video on YouTube Not shy In evaluative judgments (one of the softest ones: “non -education, stupidity, corruption!”).
The first thing to pay attention to is many authors of publications in the media and social networks are not familiar with the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan. In this country, the abbreviations of the traffic police and traffic police are not used to designate the units controlling the road traffic. In 1996, the traffic police was Rename to the traffic police (Zhol Police). Having survived a number of transformations and renaming, in 2013 the road and patrol services steel part administrative police. The scandalous news related to the heads of the road police of Pavlodar or the Pavlodar region and published in the past few months, there are no news sites or in social networks.
The date of shooting by users is not indicated, but a video with supposedly magnificent celebration in honor of the boy, who became a first -grader, got into the network long before September 1. The first videos with a similar description appeared in YouTube yet 11 And 17 August. Unfortunately, “verified” could not find the original video, but we found out what exactly was captured on it and where it was shot.
The fact that the video was shot in Kazakhstan is indicated by traditional Kazakh clothes on artists and the song, under which the boy in Palankina, is the track of the popular Kazakh group "Alashuly" under the name "Batyrlar ұrana"(" Klich Batyrov "). The hall in which the celebration was held is really located in Pavlodar, in the Saida Plaza shopping center. This is confirmed by pictures of the banquet hall in the service 2GIS - Curtains, doors, chandeliers above the doors and the pattern on the floor are identical to what are shown in the video.
However, in mid -August there was not a day of knowledge at all there. The holiday itself is called “chest of that” - a feast in honor of circumcision. Cutting rite is an important part of a Muslim life, and Lush festival In honor of this event - Frequent The phenomenon in the Turkic countries, where, in addition to religious function, it performs a kind of procedure for initiating a boy, his symbolic initiation in jigits. In Kazakhstan, the rite of circumcision is usually carried out at the age of three, five or seven years, most often In spring or autumn. The memorized "chest of that" in recent years has become Popular service in Kazakhstani event agencies. On such a holiday, like a wedding, numerous relatives come from all regions of the country, and the number of guests can reach several hundred.
A boy dressed in a festive outfit, accompanied by dzhigits (in the Kazakh events of the agency there is a special service "Batyrs for the holiday") And/or women in national clothes can enter the hall on a camel or foal accompanied Gorcutchi with a golden eagle on the hand or Psarya With a hunting dog.
Many invite musical or dance groups to the holiday and even They are arranged game KOKPAP - It all depends on the degree of commitment to the traditions and the level of prosperity of parents and relatives who on this day give the boy with valuable gifts. There are more options and Less expensivesometimes a feast is arranged for several boys at once, but the tradition itself is not something exotic, but happy relatives massively Lay out Video from such festivities on social networks.
The video, which users discuss, recorded by no means the most luxurious of possible festivities. According to the calculations "verified" based on Price Kazakhstani event agencies and banquet halls, similar to a celebration on 100-150 people (with a banquet, musical accompaniment, the services of a toastmaster, the exit with batteries, the rental of a suit and a palanquin for a boy) will cost about 1–1.5 million tenge (200,000 - 300,000 rubles). Our calculations were confirmed by the expert-the Kazakhstani event-manager Vyacheslav Neurush, adding that the price may be significantly lower if the holiday is not in Almaty or the customer himself purchased products for the banquet.
Thus, the video is not related to September 1, his connection with any Kazakhstan civil servant is unprovable. However, even if this festival was organized by the family of a traffic police officer, then there is nothing unusual in it: the celebration captured on the frames is a Kazakh holiday in honor of circumcision, which is not something extraordinary and beyond expensive. Telegram channels and the media that published a video placed it in a fictional context.
