With many regular customers around the world, I am quite sure, that Russian space agency will not lose any sleep over losing a single order from Kazakhs. Besides, this satellite was probably supplied, and launched for free (or at a large discount) so you get what you paid for.

On the side note, the Russians build the Baikanur launch platform, and now, after the collapse of the soviet union has to lease it from the Kazakhs. Some engineers may resent that ;-)

But have they tried the gypsy tears yet?

Then we (the US and UK) must liberate the people from their cruel dictator!

Don't know much about sales do you? Of course they're going to loose sleep over a single order. It's not like they've got a line of customers you know. Every order is critical.

Plus studies show that 95% of customers will return to their first launch provider for other launches :)

I like to make sexy time!
