> Uzbekistan is more wealthy than other countries of the region;
Absolutely not. Uzbekistan was the Central Asian version of North Korea.
The poverty was universal, and extreme.
And yes, a change from a braindead Kim Il Sung wannabe who boiled people alive to a plain idiot plutocrat could be considered a "change" to be welcomed.
Kazakhstan is by far the wealthiest Central Asian nation.

I didn't say it's more wealthy than KZ. I was comparing to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan. (Not an expert but it seems to me UZ is well ahead those)
