Yes he is from Khazakhskaya SSR (so it was named when it was a part of USSR)
we have some other goalies from Ust-Kamenogorsk (town where Nabby was born) in our Hockey League and all of them have official "dual nationality"(politics of Russia and Khazakstan allows it). But if he played at least 1 game for one of these national teams he can't play for another for some years.
