...payout) really happens—my favorite study was an Appprentice-esque brainstorming session, where for $20, I spent an hour with three other people trying to think up an advertising campaign for an imaginary brand of flavored water.

Late last month, a court found Yerzhan Utembayev, the former Senate chief of staff, guilty of putting out the contract on Sarsenbayev "for reasons of personal enmity," and sentenced him to 20 years. Nine others received sentences ranging from three years to life for complicity in the murder. Hoping to slowly add more democratic elements to a system that now rejects them, analyst Asylbek Bisenbayev suggests holding transparent elections...
