Deradicalization of Kazakhstan’s digital space: Tengrian internet groups

Abstract

The development of new technologies has made tremendous changes all over the world. Not only production processes are being digitalized, but also the daily life of a person. The digital landscape of modernity is embracing more and more users in the world. Thanks to these processes, people have access to global databases, the opportunity to study online, and establish contacts with new people around the world. Thus, globalization has embraced all of humanity. However, along with the positive realities, we also received negative facts. Thus, the Internet space has become a convenient platform for various kinds of manipulations: political, social, religious, etc. Today, everything that happens in the country and in the world resonates in the media space and affects the socio-psychological climate of the world community. Proselytism, appeals in social networks and on various media resources have also become a new reality. So, some destructive organizations are using the Internet space to recruit new adherents. To this end, a wide range of content has been prepared for different target groups. In this regard, it became necessary to create counter-actions against such destabilization. Many countries, including Kazakhstan, have begun to develop plans to block illegal content. Ensuring digital security in the Internet space has become one of the key areas of state security. In this regard, this article will consider aspects of prevention, prevention and suppression of illegal actions in the digital space of Kazakhstan on the example of Tengrian communities.

Key words: Tengri online, prevention online, prevention of radicalism, prevention of Tengri communities, radical Tengrianism
