I have never lived in Kaz but lived in the Russian Federation for a few years, My only applicable advice would be to cool you shoots until the war is over, Currently, NZ is classified as an unfriendly nation after we gave the Ukrainians some of our obsolete kit.
As what was mentioned before, organized crime tends to take over any successful business if it get too big in that part of the world, and you know they aren't worried about herd management as much as making a buck or too.
Someone mentioned also about Kamchatka, that would be a better spot for game numbers and local business doing guided tours, You can fly into the country via Vladivostok, though it is closer it sometimes more expensive, less tripping around though.
My wife, who I met over there would be more fluent to read the forums and local sites, if you need a hand, sing out and she can probably give some contacts to talk to.
