The fomer Soviet republic would be Uzbekistan, which shares borders with the republics of Russia, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan (and also with Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan).
Uzbekistan has many ethnic groups.
Religion: majority of kazakhs - muslims, russians - orthodoxLanguage: Kazakhs - Turkic, Russians - Slavic
The majority ethnic group in Uzbekistan is the Uzbeks, but there are minorities like the Karakalpaks, the Kazakhs, the Turkmens, the Russians, the Tajiks/Persians, and the Kyrgyz.
I think Kazakhs are nice people.
The Kazakhs are one of the Turkic peoples. The Turkic peoples are an ethno-linguistic group that is believed to have originated in the area from central Asia to Siberia, including large parts of modern China.
Ethnic Russians (Slavs), Ukrainians (Slavs), Belarusians (Slavs), Mongols, Turks, Kazakhs, Koreans, Yakuts and some indegenous people.
Kazakhs communicate through the Kazakh language mainly.
Kazakhs in the Republic of Kazakhstan use the Cyrillic script. The same script is also used by the kazakh in other parts of the former Soviet Union.
