Russian paratroopers arrived in Kazakhstan on Thursday as part of a regional peacekeeping mission requested by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who is attempting to forcibly suppress an unexpected uprising.Kazakhstan, a major oil producer that shares long borders with both Russia and China, had been remarkably stable for decades.
