lyrics

Однажды президент - президент навсегда
Однажды своровал, и ты вот навсегда
Однажды президент - президент навсегда
Немного геноцида, и ты тиран навсегда

Once you’re president, you’re always Mr. President
Once you steal, you’re always a thief
Once you’re president, you’re always Mr. President
A little bit of genocide and they call you a tyrant

--

In March 2019 Nursultan Nazarbayev, kazakh autocrat and leader of the country for almost three decades stepped down after a series of surprisingly persistent protests, "to give way to a new generation" of rulers. While giving away his post as president he got a new job as "Chairman of the Security Council of Kazakhstan" which is just a fancy title and means: He's still the de-facto leader. Vladimir Putin is trying to pull a similar maneuver in the near future. Just wait for it.
We wrote the song to comment on the idiocy to support narcissistic, megalomaniacal strongmen. Kazakhstan renamed the capital after their "former" leader... nuts. Just..nuts.
