Қоңыраттар тарихы өзініңп барлық ерекшеліктерімен жəне ешкімге ұқсамас өзіндік соқпақтарымен қазақ ұлтының тарихын толықтыратыны қарастырылған. Қоңыраттар бабаларының тармақталған тарихы теренде жатқаны көрсетілген. Тарихымызда зерттеле қоймаған «ақтаңдақ» мəселелер — Орта жүздегі ірі тайпалардыңе бірі — Қоңыраттардың этникалық тамыры, оның шежіре деректері, қазақ жерінде орналасуының себеп- салдары көптеген тың мəліметтер негізінде баяндалған. РКілт сөздер: шежіре, қоныстары, тайпа, ұраны, бірлестік, ұрпақтары, тұлғалар, мұра. Шежіре деректерінде Қоңыраттың шыққан тегі туралы Мəшһүр Жүсіп Көпейұлы жазып қалдырған шежіресінде Жан Арыстың бəйбішесінен — Дарақожа, одан Қоңырат туған дейді [1]. Шəкəрім Құдайбердіұлы «Түрік, Қырғыз, Қазақ һəм Хандар шежіресі» атты еңбегінде Қоңыраттар туралы өз пікірін былай білдіреді: «Қытай жазушы Юан-Шу-ми-ши сөзінше, бұрынғы Серия «История. Философия». № 2(74)/2014 69 Р.С.Каренов заманда Ункурлар, яғни Қоңыраттар, Халхе өзенінің Бабиор көліне құйған арада жүрді. Бұлардың да көбі өзбекке қосылып, өзбек атанған» [2]. Əбілғазы баһадүр хан өзінің «Түрік шежіресі» кітабында: «Қиян нəсілінен бір кісі бар еді, оның үш ұлы болды. Үлкені — Жорлық мерген... Жорлық мергеннің Қоңырат атты ұлы бар еді, барша Қоңырат елі соның нəсілінен шықты» [3], — дейді. Бірқатар зерттеушілер Қоңыраттарды ертедегі Огус-Динлин ұрпағынан таратады. Шығыс мұсылман жазбаларында Қоңыраттар Оғыз ханның алтыншы ұрпағы Теңіз ханнан тарайды. Рашид- ад-Дин, орыс ғалымдары Н.Аристов, Т.Жданко Қоңыраттарды ежелгі Қият тайпасының ұрпағы немесе қияттармен тектес олхонут, хонхират руынан шыққан жəне ежелден монғол халқының құрамында болған деп есептейді. Қоңыраттардың ертедегі қоныстары Қытай мен Монғолия арасындағы Утаджие аймағында болған. Қоңыраттар туралы алғашқы деректер Лиау жəне Жин патшалықтары кезіндегі жылнамаларда кездеседі. Лиау жəне Жин патшалықтары кезінде (XII ғасырда) Қоңыраттар Моңғолия үстіртіндегі ірі тайпалардың бірі болған. Олардың өріс-қоныстары Кереулин өзенінің төменгі ағысы мен Ергуна өзенінің алқабында еді. Қоңыраттардың батысындаУ монғол тайпалары, батыс оңтүстігінде татар тайпалары, шығыс оңтүстігінде Жин патшалығының шекара шегі тұрған [4; 341, 342]. Г Шежіреші-ғалым Ж.Бейсенбайұлының пайымдауынша, «Қоңырат — Шыңғыс хан заманына дейін-ақ маңайындағы қоңсылас қонған түркі нəсілдес найман, керей, меркіт, монғол р(моғол, мыңқол) елдері секілді белгілі тайпалардың бірі болған. Сол дəуірге қатысты деректерде, ол көнеден жеткен аңыздарға сəйкес «алтын аяқтан туылыпты» делінетін ағайынды Жорлық мерген, Қабай шере, Тасбұдай сынды текті тұқымнан тараған ру ретінде сипатталады. Қоңырат а— ағайынды үшеудің үлкені Жорлық мергеннің ұлы. Қабай шереден — Еңкірес, Елқонұт; Тасбұдайдан Қаранұт, Қоңқұлұт деген ұлдар туған. Бұлардың бəрі де XII ғасырға дейін жеке-жеке ру Кдəрежесіндегі белгілі елдер. Бірақ та бəрі қосылған кезде жолы үлкен Қоңырат атауының төңірегіне ұйысып, түгел «қоңыратпыз» деседі» [5]. Қоңыраттардың ертедегі қоныстары Қытай мен Монғолия йарасындағы Утаджие аймағы болған. Ежелден көрші тұрып, монғолдармен жан-жақты тығыз байланыста болған. Олар келе-келе Шыңғыс ханға бағынып, XIII ғасырда моңғолдардың батысқа жасаған жойқын жорығына қатысқан. Осы тарихи оқиғаға байланысты Қоңыраттардың иедəуір тобы Қазақстан мен Орта Азияға тұрақтап, қоныс тепті. Олар бұдан былай Дешті Қыпшақтың сол қанаты есебінде Темір əулетіне қарсы күресте Əбілхайыр ханды қолдады. Осындайр саяси тартыстар салдарынан Шайбани ханмен бірге ауған Қоңыраттар Хиуа хандығының негізін салып, кейінірек қарақалпақ халқының құрамына енді. Жəнібек пен Керей бастаған топ Дешті Қыпшақтано ауа көшкен кезде Қоңыраттардың бір бөлігі олармен бірге Батыс Моғолстанға келіп орнықты. Қоңыраттар XIX ғасырдың басында Қаратау, Талас, Ташкент, Бұхар, Қоқан маңынат ауысты. Сөйтіп, Қоңыраттар Қазақстан мен Орта Азия жеріндегі түркі тілдес жергілікті тайпалармен араласып, қазақ, өзбек, қарақалпақ, қырғыз халықтарының құрамына еніп, сіңісіпи кетті [6]. Қоңыраттың азан шақырып қойған есімі Нағанай дейді. Нағанай жəне оның балалары үнемі өңкей қоңыр аттарға мініп жүретінз болғандықтан, ел оларды «қоңыр аттылар» деп айтады екен. Осыған орай Нағанай «Қоңырат» атанып кетіпті дейді. Қоңыраттардың ұраны — Алатау, Мүкамал. оҚоңырат тайпасының екі бірлестікке бөлінуі Қазақ шежіресіп Қоңыратты оның Сеңке биінен таратады. Шыңғыс хан ұлы хандыққа көтерген он екі бидің бірі Сеңке биге қарап: «Əй, Сеңке, сенің ұраның — «Қоңырат», құсың — сұңқар, ағашың — алма, таңбаң — босаға «┌┐» болсын» [7; 37], — деген екен. Сеңке бидене — Нағанай батыр. Оның жеті əйелі болған. Олардан отыз ұл жəне Емен, Семен деген екі құлы болған. Нағанай ол екеуін де өз балалары санағандықтан, отыз екі баласы бар делінеді. ШежірелердеР ескі жыл санағы бойынша 616 жылы Отырардағы Ноғайлының елі жаугершілік заманға тап болып, Нағанай балаларымен алыс-алыс жерлерге көшіп жүріп, тарыдай шашылып кетеді. Нағанайдың бір баласы (есімі Орын би) жоғалған малдарын іздеп кеткен екен, қайтып келсе ел орнында жоқ. Орын би Əзіреті Түркістанға барып, үйлі-жайлы болып, одан Мелде би туады. Мелде би ер жетіп, Түркістанда елшілік, билік қызметін атқарған [8; 11]. Орын бидің екінші баласы Жығалы Жиделі-Байсында тұрғанда ерте қайтыс болады. Одан Құлшығаш, Қаракөсе деген екі ұл жас қалып, анасы Жезбикені əмеңгерлікпен Мелде би алып, соның қолында өседі. 70 Вестник Карагандинского университета Қоңырат тайпасының ғылыми негіздегі … Сондықтан шежіреде оны Мелде бидің баласы етіп көрсетеді де, Көктің ұлы (Тəңірберді) тармағына жатқызады. Мелде бидің бірінші əйелі Орынбибіден — Құдайберді, лақап аты — «Көтенші», екінші əйелі Жезбикеден — Тəңірберді, лақап аты — «Көктің ұлы». Барлық Қоңырат елі негізінен осы екі атадан өрбиді [7; 37]. Сонымен, шежіре деректері бойынша, Қоңыраттар екі үлкен бірлестікке бөлінеді. Бұл екі бірлестікті əйгілі ғалым В.Радлов «жеті ата Көктің ұлы, алты ата Көктің құсы» деп атаған. Қазақ шежірелері Қоңырат тайпасын «алты ата Көтенші» (аузы дуалы Мелде би бұл «Көтіне сенген бəйбішенің баласы, аты «Көтенші» болсын» депті); «жеті көше Көктің ұлы» (жұртта қалған Жезбике аман босанып, баласын орайтын жөргек мата таба алмай, көк шөпке орап алып, көштен бұрын ауылы қонатын жеріне келіп жетіпті; осыған орай Тəңірберді көк шөпке оранған «Көктің ұлы» деп атаныпты [9; 162]), — деп екіге жіктеп, олардан 13 руды таратады. Мелде би қартайып, тоқсанның үшінде дүние салады. Ұрпақтары Түркістанға апарып қойған. Мелде бидің асында балалары, немерелері Хантағы деген жерде бəйге береді. Өлген кісінің асында бəйге беру үлгісі содан қалған деген сөздер бар. У Көтеншілер ұрпақтары Г Қоңыраттың Көтеншісінен ру дəрежесіне жеткен мыналар: 1. Божбан. Шежіре деректері

    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.

  • Personal Information As a Historical Source Using the Example of the Estonian and Other Baltic Diasporas in Kazakhstan1
    Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2020, 1 (171), 29–66 Personal information as a historical source using the example of the Estonian and other Baltic diasporas in Kazakhstan1 Mariya Oinas According to the latest census (2009), sixteen million people live in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Forty percent of the population is non-Kazakh, including representatives of almost 130 nationalities and ethnic groups. The formation of the multinational population of Kazakhstan has a complex two-century history. Up to the eighteenth century, Kazakhs constituted most of the inhabitants of the Kazakh Khanate. With the incorporation of Kazakhstan into the Russian Empire, the resettlement of Slavic peoples into the steppe regions began, the influx consisting of mostly peasants and Cossacks. From the first half of the eighteenth century, fortifications and lines of defence were built and settled by serfs. The tsarist state also used Kazakhstan as a place of political exile. The main influx of migration was related to the resettlement policy of the Russian Prime Minister P. Stolypin in the early twentieth century, which was supposed to solve the economic, social and demographic problems of the Russian Empire through the devel- opment of new lands. According to some estimates, over one million peo- ple from the European regions of the empire immigrated to Kazakhstan in the pre-revolutionary period.2 The Soviet government also contributed to the multinational charac- ter of the population of Kazakhstan through massive forced migrations. Shortly after the October Revolution, intellectuals, clergy and aristocrats 1 The research for this article was conducted with the support from the European Regional Development Fund.

To date, it has taken place on a small scale, mostly outside of the state’s repatriation system. Thousands of people with a promised repatriation visa are still waiting to be repatri- ated. The majority of the repatriates come from Kazakhstan, home to the largest popu- lation of descendants of Poles in the Asian part of the former USSR. They come to Poland not only for sentimental reasons, but also in search of better living conditions. However, repatriates—in particular older ones—experience a number of problems with adaptation in Poland, dominated by financial and housing-related issues. A further source of difficulties for repatriates, alongside their spatial dispersion, insufficient lin- guistic and cultural competencies, and identity problems, is finding a place on and adapting to the Polish labor market. Despite their difficult situation and special needs, the repatriates in Poland are not sufficiently supported due to the inefficiency of admin- istration and non-governmental institutions dealing with the task of repatriates’ integration. It results in the anguish of repatriation. Keywords: repatriation; repatriates from Kazakhstan; Polish integration policy; immigration to Poland; Polish minority in the former USSR Introduction Over two decades after the beginning of the transformation of the political and economic system in Poland, repatriation remains an unresolved issue.

  • 1. Introduction
    1. INTRODUCTION “Unity! Stability! Creativity!”. This is the slogan of Nur Otan, the political party of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the Republic of Kazakhstan’s first and only Sincepresident. 1991, Nazarbayev has sought to promote a sense of national unity. Yet - this report, published shortly after the 25th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s inde pendence, finds that this unity has not been built on the state’s multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lingual past. Instead, we find that the unity which the state pursues excludes many groups, in particular those whose religion, ethnicity or political opinion challenges the vision promoted by Nazarbayev. - The 2011 Law on Religious Activity and Religious Associations explicitly- emphasises the centrality of Hanafi Islam and Russian Orthodoxy to Ka zakhstani culture and imposes onerous registration requirements, indirect ly discriminating against minority religious groups. The unofficial policy of “Kazakhisation” – the promotion of the Kazakhstani national identity and- the history, language and culture of ethnic Kazakhs as one and the same – and its application to language policy in particular creates barriers for eth nic minorities in accessing public services, public employment and public education. Through both legal and extra-legal means, the state has denied basisor limited of political the rights opinion. to freedom from arbitrary detention and the freedoms of expression, assembly and association in ways which discriminate on the - The notion of national unity promoted by the state also leaves out women, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons (LGBT), persons with disa bilities and those living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Women experience discrimination in many areas of life: discriminatory labour and criminal laws remain in force, gender-based violence remains a significant problem and there is widespread gender inequality in then employment market.

PRODUCED BY: INS RESOURCE INFORMATION CENTER 425 I STREET, N.W. (ULLICO BUILDING, 3RD FLOOR) WASHINGTON, D.C. 20536 DISCLAIMER The July 27, 1990 Regulations, "Aliens and Nationality: Asylum and Withholding of Deportation Procedures," mandated the creation of a new corps of Asylum Officers to provide an initial, nonadversarial adjudication of asylum claims. Asylum Officers use asylum law, interviews with asylum applicants, and relevant information on country conditions to determine the merits of individual claims for asylum. The Resource Information Center was created to assist Asylum Officers domestically, and Immigration Officers determining refugee status overseas, by collecting and disseminating credible and objective information on human rights conditions. As specified in the Regulations (8 CFR 208.12), such information may be obtained from the Department of Justice, the Department of State, and "other credible sources, such as international organizations, private voluntary organizations, or academic institutions." Resource Information Center Papers are one of the means by which information reflecting a wide range of credible sources is summarized for easy access by Asylum and Immigration Officers. The views expressed in Resource Information Center papers do not necessarily represent official U.S. Government opinion, nor do they reflect U.S. foreign policy concerns. This paper was written on the basis of publicly available information, analyses, and comment. All sources are cited. This paper cannot be, and does not purport to be, either exhaustive with regard to the country surveyed, or conclusive as to the merits of any claim to refugee status or asylum.

Seifullin Kazakh Agro Technical University, Astana, Kazakhstan [email protected] Akmaral Turgaibekovna Turgaleyeva5 5International Relations and Tourism Department at Yessenov University, Aktau, Kazakhstan [email protected] Abstract The article seeks to confirm the hypothesis that multiculturalism can be viewed as the idea of nation-building in multinational post- communist countries that gained independence after the fall of the Soviet Union via comparative qualitative research methods. Based on the analysis of current domestic and foreign policy in Kazakhstan, multiculturalism is shown to be an idea of nation-building in a multinational post-communist country of the former USSR. In conclusion, the negative experience of some countries is indicative not of a failure of the multiculturalism idea, but the failed attempt to apply its liberal ideas by conservative politicians.

  • Soviet Press Coverage of Political “Negative Phenomena” During the December 1986 Alma-Ata Demonstrations
    OAKA Cilt:5, Say: 10, ss. 22-39, 2010 SOVIET PRESS COVERAGE OF POLITICAL “NEGATIVE PHENOMENA” DURING THE DECEMBER 1986 ALMA-ATA DEMONSTRATIONS ARALIK 1986 ALMA-ATA GÖSTER2LER2 SIRASINDA “OLUMSUZ SYASAL OLAYLARIN” SOVYET MEDYASINDA AKTARIMI Richard ROUSSEAU ABSTRACT The Alma-Ata events of December 17-19, 1986 were a forerunner of the return of ethnic nationalism in the Soviet Union. The two day demonstrations in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic (KSSR) have, among other factors, led to the first social agitations in the context of new policy launched by Mikhail Gorbachev. That uprising in Alma-Ata—and in other Kazakh cities—was the first “big bang” that undermined the Soviet federal structures and “social fabric.” After these protests the myth of the fraternal unity and brotherhood of the Soviet peoples fell apart in a matter of a few years. This article investigates the Alma-Ata events of December 17-19, 1986 as presented within the pages of the main organs of the Soviet press and four Russian-language Central Asian newspapers between December 1986 and March 1987. The Kremlin’s response to the events of Alma-Ata, though ultimately ineffectual, revealed both the growing influence of Mikhail Gorbachev’s new policy of glasnost and a continued reliance on customary Soviet propaganda techniques. Key Words: Kazakhstan, Soviet Union, Ce ntral Asia , History, Empire, Mass Media ÖZET 17-19 Aralk 1986 tarihinde gerçekleen Alma-Ata olaylar, Sovyetler Birlii’nde etnik milliyetçili1in geri dönü4ünün habercisiydi. Kazak Sovyet Sosyalist Cumhuriyeti’nde iki gün boyunca süren gösteriler Mihail Gorbaçov’un ortaya koymu4 oldu1u politikalarn neticesi olan çalkantlarn da ilkiydi.
