THE POLICY OF TSARISM IN KAZAKHSTAN IN THE XVIII - XIX CENTURIES: CONSEQUENCES OF ITS IMPACT ON TRADITIONAL KAZAKH SOCIETY

Abstract

The current state of Kazakh statehood is characterized by a systemic transformation process. In this regard, the
study of the history of Kazakh-Russian relations occupies an important place. The problems of studying the
history of the formation of interstate ties, a retrospective analysis of the evolution of the development of
Kazakh society in the pre-colonial period, and the issues of conducting the imperial policy of Russia in
relation to Kazakh lands are gaining scientific and political significance. The great interest of domestic
historians is caused by the problems of expanding the territory of Russia due to the colonization of Kazakh
lands in the 19th century, and the irreversible processes associated with this that took place during the study
period.
