Hello,
I found a webpage where Baikonur is called a "Russian enclave". It
also mentions that "it has been regulated simultaneously for the past
few years by Russian and Kazakh authorities" (whatever THAT means...)

My guess is that Russia and Kazakhstan intentionally did not digress
too far into the sovereignty issue when they signed their pact. But
it seems to be a somewhat similar situation as the Czech harbor in
Hamburg.
Greetings,
