TO THE PROBLEM OF COLONIZATION OF THE KAZAKH REGION OF THE 19th — early 20th CENTURY

Abstract

This article examines the problem of studying the colonization of Kazakh lands in Kazakh and Russian historiography. The attention is focused on such aspects as the impact of colonization on the socio-economic development of the Kazakh region, the mass seizure of Kazakh lands, the destruction of the traditional economic structure of the Kazakh society. The article reveals the study of colonization in pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet historiography in a comparative aspect. Special attention is paid to rethinking the history of the Kazakh people in the course of gaining independence as well as reconsidering the term of colonization as a combination of socio-economic, spiritual, mental and other factors.

Key words

Kazakhstan, colonization, nomadism, settled life, resettlement policy, agrarian question.
