There was a brief (1min 30sec), funny interview with Mukhtarbay Otelbayev discussing his achievement on Kazakh TV. He says: &quot;When Westerners think of Kazakhstan, they think of &#x27;Borat&#x27;--I want to break that opinion.&quot; It was posted to YouTube on 11 Jan 2014, and it&#x27;s in English. The URL is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnjJYDDYJDg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=PnjJYDDYJDg</a> [video]<p>His proposed solution to the Navier-Stokes problem is free online at <a href="http://www.math.kz/images/journal/2013-4/Otelbaev_N-S_21_12_2013.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.math.kz&#x2F;images&#x2F;journal&#x2F;2013-4&#x2F;Otelbaev_N-S_21_12_...</a> [pdf]<p>Otelbayev&#x27;s proof is a hundred pages. It&#x27;s in Russian. There is a 1-page English summary at the end. He says his students are working on an English translation, and it will be available soon.
