"One Kazakh diplomat says that the depiction of his country as violent, primitive and oppressive bears no resemblance to reality."
You have recently visited the place for a few months. IIRC, from your first hand account the statement that the toilet paper is mostly unknown there even among the university teachers, proudly stands out. Thus on the "primitive" charge - guilty as charged, right?

They have toilet paper, except on the train, and all the other conveniences of the modern world ;-)
Here's what a friend has to say about Borat's movie:
"I know about Borat. I saw his unofficial site and movies in Yahoo. In my opinion it's a campany in front of KZ's chiefing in OSCE in 2009. Also I think our abroad opposition supports this campany. I am angry with our Minisrty of Foreign Affairs for weak protests against Sacha Baron Cohen."
Hmmm... I was suspicious about the timing of Borat's movie myself.
