Nazarbayev always struck me as relatively modest and non-self-aggrandizing by the low standards of Central Asian dictators until he resigned.

He was smart enough to just quietly go about accruing money and power in a low-key way. He didn't resort to insane personality cults like Niyazov in Turkmenistan, or run a completely inhumane hellscape torture factory like Karimov in Uzbekistan.
