His ideas were discussed. Books and articles about his life and works were published; docu- mentaries and drama films were made. Bekmakhanov, the first Kazakh historian with history education at graduate and postgraduate levels, has come into prominence with not only his studies, but also with repressions which he was exposed to since expressing historical truths. He was arrested in 1952 and sentenced to 25 years in exile in Siberia for his doctoral thesis titled “Kazakhstan in the Years of 1920’s-1940’s” about Kenesary Khan (1802-1847) which had carried out a great rebellion against Tsarist Russia and then publishing it as a book. The book was banned. After Stalin’s death in 1953 he was forgiven in 1954 and returned to Kazakhstan. Beginning to work in his former job again, Bekmakhanov continued his jobs teaching and researching in the Department of History of Kazakhstan at Kazakh State University in Almaty until his death on 6 May 1966. The life and ideas of Bekmakhanov who had made important contri- butions to the writing of Kazakh national history have been subject to many books and articles. However, it is a fact that there are not enough studies in Turkey about Bekmakhanov and is even unknown among Turkish historians. When we carried out research on internet search engines in late 2014, we found no information about him in Turkish. For this reason we, as the Department of History of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, decided to organize an international symposium to promote this great historian in Turkey. Our decision was suppor- ted with great pleasure by Professor. Dr. Yalçın Karayağız, the rector of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. Our historian colleagues at L.N. Gumilev Eurasia University in Astana in Kazakhstan have expressed that if such a symposium is held, they will be able to participate. They even said they could come to Istanbul with their own means. On the other hand, upon our request, the Union of Turkish World Municipalities agreed to sponsor accomodation expenses of guests coming from abroad and the printing of the symposium book. So the international symposium of “The Soviet Historiography and Questions of Kazakhstan History” on the Occasion of the 100th Birth Anniversary of the First Kazakh Historian Ermukhan Bekmakhanov was held in Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University Bomonti Campus on 8 THE SOVIET HISTORIOGRAPHY AND 15-16 April 2015. The symposium, in which scientists from the USA, Kazakhstan and Turkey presented 19 papers, was successful. Many people who attended the symposium expressed that they had never heard about Bekmakhanov before and that they had an opportunity to know him with this symposium. This shows that the symposium reaches its purpose and fills the space on this subject even if it is on a small scale. We thought it would be useful to publish the symposium papers in Turkish as well as in English. Thus, it would be possible to cont- ribute to the promotion of Bekmakhanov outside of Turkey. For this reason, the papers of guests from Kazakhstan were translated from Kazakh into Turkish, then all the reports were translated from Turkish into English. As our budget was limited, translations were made by voluntary researchers. The majority of the translations from Kazakh to Turkish were made by Assist. Prof. Dr. Gülnar Kara (Bilecik Eren University) and a paper by Aynur Erjibayeva (Ph.D. student of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University). Some parts of the papers were translated from Turkish into English by translators of the Union of Turkish World Municipalities and the rest by Dr. Serdar Yılmaz (Arel University), Bekir Sadıktopaloğlu (Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University History Department), Ahmet Sert (Mimar Sinan University Fine Arts University PhD student) and Denizcan Dede (Koç University). We are grateful to them. In addition, all the English translations were meticulously edited by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Steven Sabol from University of North Carolina. We are also grateful to him. We are thankful for everyone who contributed and supported the symposium, especially Prof. Dr. Yalçın Karayağız, the rector of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Prof. Dr. Fatma Urekli, the Head of the Department History of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, members of the Department of History, all participants of the symposium, Bekir Sadık Topaloğlu for working with me at the editorial jobs for prepearing papers for print, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fahri Solak, the general secretary of the Union of Turkish World Municipalities, which is sponsor of the symposium and this book.

  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

  • World Classics in Kazakh Theater at Early Stage of Development
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 11, 4967-4975 OPEN ACCESS World Classics in Kazakh Theater at Early Stage of Development Zhanagul S. Sultanovaa, Anar K. Yeshmuratovaa, Yelik Nursultana, Saniya D. Kabdiyevaa and Yerkin T. Zhuasbeka aT. Zhurgenov Kazakh National Academy of Art, KAZAKHSTAN ABSTRACT The research work deals with the practices and specific features of Kazakh theater, especially with the specifics of the director's decisions on performances based on European and Russian classical drama. The authors determine that the experienced directors from Russia were invited in order to influence the professional development of Kazakh novice actors. Furthermore, based on the views of theater critics, the study reveals the positive and negative aspects in the development of Kazakh theater. The authors have focused on different versions of performances of Shakespeare in Kazakh theatre, particularly "Othello". The practical value is that the research findings can be a basis of future investigations on the Kazakh theater development and the influence of Russian culture on this process. KEYWORDS ARTICLE HISTORY Theater development, Kazakh theater, world Received 30 April 2016 classics interpretation, Russian drama, performances Revised 19 June 2016 of Shakespeare Accepted 23 June 2016 Introduction The growth of national consciousness in the Kazakhstan in the context of globalization has intensified the artists’ interest in the historical past (Kabyl, 2016). Thus, the genre of historical drama has taken the main place in the repertory of Kazakh theatres (Kundakbayuly, 2001; Nurpeis, 2014; Mayemirov, Khalykov & Nurpeis, 2015). Nowadays the repertoire of theaters is largely determined by world classics (Khalykov, 2015). Moreover, on the one hand, filmmakers are looking for ideas and images that correlate with the realities of our time (Greenwood, 2016).

    ASTRA Salvensis, Supplement no. 1/2021 THE ROLE OF ULUSES AND ZHUZES IN THE FORMATION OF THE ETHNIC TERRITORY OF THE KAZAKH PEOPLE Aidana KOPTILEUOVA1, Bolat KUMEKOV1, Meiramkul T. BIZHANOVA2 1Department of Eurasian Studies, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Nur-Sultan, Republic of Kazakhstan 2Department of History of Kazakhstan, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the pressing issues of Kazakh historiography – the problems of the formation of the ethnic territory of the Kazakh people. The ethnic territory of the Kazakh people is the national borders of today’s Republic of Kazakhstan, inherited from the nomadic ancestors – the Kazakh Khanate. Uluses are a distinctive feature of the social structure of nomads, Zhuzes are one of the Kazakh nomads. In this regard, our goal is to determine their role in shaping the ethnic territory of the Kazakh people. To do this, a comparative analysis will be made according to different data and historiographic materials, in addition, the article will cover the issues of the appearance of the zhuzes system in Kazakh society and its stages. As a result of this work, the authorial offers are proposed – the hypothesis of the gradual formation of the ethnic territory and the Kazakh zhuzes system. Keywords: Kazakh historiography, Middle ages, the Mongol period, Kazakh Khanate, gradual formation. The formation of the ethnic territory of the Kazakh people is closely connected not only with the political events of the period under review, but with ethnic processes. Kazakhs consist of many clans and tribes that have their hereditary clan territories.

  • History of Kazakhstan
    History of Kazakhstan The territory now known as Kazakhstan was home to nomadic peoples for centuries. Mongol tribes began migrating to the area in the eighth century AD, and in the early thirteenth century, central Asia was conquered by Genghis Khan’s Golden Horde. Their descendants, known as the White Horde, ruled the territory until the Mongol Empire crumbled in the late 14th century. The Kazakh nation that emerged was a mixture of Turkic and Mongol peoples. From 1511 to 1518, Kazakhs were unified and their territory expanded under the leadership of Kassym Khan. Their language and culture gradually became distinct from those of neighboring Uzbek and Kyrgyz peoples. Following Kassym Khan’s reign, the Kazakhs divided into three distinct groups, each dominating a particular geographic area but maintaining a common language and heritage. Fiercely independent, they avoided relations with outside nations. Contact with imperial Russia was minimal until the early1700s, when Russia built forts in southern Siberia and northern Kazakhstan. When the Kazakhs were threatened by the Kalmyks, they reluctantly accepted protection from czarist Russia. In the 19th- century Great Game race for territory and influence between Britain and Russia, Russia eventually solidified its control of the area. Subsequent Kazakh uprisings, including one in 1916, were put down with force. In the wake of Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution, a Kazakh autonomous government was formed and nominally held power from 1917 to1919. By 1920, however, communist forces had gained control; Kazakhstan officially became a Soviet republic in 1936. Years of war, followed by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s forced collectivization campaign in the 1930s, virtually eliminated the traditional nomadic way of life; one-third of the population and most livestock perished.

  • A Regional Perspective on the Economic Development of the Late Russian Empire
    A Regional Perspective on the Economic Development of the late Russian Empire Andrei Markevich (New Economic School, Moscow) Seminar Presentation at HKUST October 23rd, 2019 Motivation • The Russian Empire – huge emerging market economy. Little is known, however, on its spatial variation (Gregory 2001) in contrast to historical development of other European countries (e.g. Roses and Wolf 2018) or the US (Mitchner and McLean 1999, 2003, Crafts and Klein 2011, Klein 2013). – The only noticeable exception limited to the European part of the empire : Lindert and Nafziger (2014) • Reconstruct and study regional variation to explore which factors explain economic development of this part of the world around 1900 – Could `fundamental’ causes such as geography and institutions account for relative economic backwardness of this part of the world in the early industrialization epoch? • Appeal to the Imperial times allows to exclude the effect of massive policy interventions under the state socialism Andrei Markevich ”A Regional Perspective on the Russian Empire” 2/32 Related Literature • Frame this study into a broader debate on the fundamentals factors of economic growth (e.g. Gallup et al. 1999; Sachs 2003; Dollar and Kraay 2003; Rodrick et al.2004; Redding and Venables 2004, Acemoglu 2009, Acemoglu and Robinson 2012 among many others) – One of the first study with subnational analysis of middle-income country at the early stage of industrialization (for modern period see Mitton 2016, Ketterer and Rodriguez-Pose 2016) • Focus on “first-nature” geography, “second-nature” geography and some Russia-specific institutions such as serfdom – A large (but partially landlocked) country with diverse geography and natural endowment – Relatively economic backward because of institutional factors (e.g.
