The report is divided into two sections. Section 1 provides a brief analysis of the Kazakhstan legislation in respect of equality and non-discrimination. Section 2 addresses the situation in respect of various vulnerable groups: religious, ethnic and language through the lens of equality and non- discrimination, and brings attention to the group, the problem of inequality is largely due to the traditionalist attitudes of the Kazakhstan society - the LGBT community. The report was prepared using the results of the study of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan with respect to freedom of conscience and religion (faith), and analysis of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the area of ensuring the LGBT rights to non-discrimination. The legislation was analysed as at 1 January 2015. The report also summarises the law enforcement practice and makes reference to the recommendations of international treaty bodies. In preparing the report, the primary data collection and sample survey of the media were made, the results of monitoring compliance with the right to non-discrimination of religious and ethnic minorities and the LGBT community done by monitors of the Kazakhstan International Bureau for Human Rights and Rule of Law were used. It should be noted that, as in the entire former Soviet Union, the situation in the field of equality and non-discrimination in the Republic of Kazakhstan develops against the historical background, Soviet stereotypes and modern processes of construction of the national statehood. The conceptual systemic problems in the area of ensuring human rights and freedoms are typical of the legislation, institutional development and law enforcement. The political regime is authoritarianism of medium severity, but with a certain level of tolerance, elements of xenophobia and aggression manifest themselves in the society. Accordingly, apart from the systemic changes in legislation, institutional development and improvement of the law enforcement practice, serious educational efforts should be taken, especially in the elementary, secondary and higher educational institutions, in order to foster a sustainable tolerant attitude towards different minority groups: ethnic, religious, sexual, etc. 3 1. Brief Analysis of the Kazakhstan Legislation in Terms of Ensuring Equality and Non-discrimination (as at January 2015) 1.1. The Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan Pursuant to Article 14 of the Constitution of Kazakhstan1: “1. Everyone shall be equal before the law and court. 2. No one shall be subject to any discrimination for reasons of origin, social, property status, occupation, sex, race, nationality, language, attitude towards religion, convictions, place of residence or any other circumstances”. Section 2 of Article 24 of the Constitution of Kazakhstan states: “Everyone shall have the right to safe and hygienic working conditions, to just remuneration for labour without discrimination, as well as to social protection against unemployment”. Further, section 3 of Article 5 of the Constitution of Kazakhstan prohibits “the formation and functioning of public associations pursuing the goals or acts directed toward a violent change of the constitutional system, violation of the integrity of the Republic, undermining the security of the state, inciting social, racial, national, religious, and tribal enmity,…”. Section 3 of Article 20 of the Constitution of Kazakhstan also contains a provision to the effect that “no propaganda or incitement of the forcible change of the constitutional system, violation of the integrity of the Republic, undermining of state security, and advocating war, social, racial, national, religious, and clannish superiority as well as the cult of cruelty and violence, shall be allowed”. In the Commentary to the Report of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)2, submitted to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the group of non- governmental organisations3, in particular, made a number of assessments and recommendations regarding the absence of anti-discrimination legislation, anti-discrimination institutions and procedures in the country. In particular, the Commentary states: "Despite the fact that the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan prohibits discrimination on the grounds of origin, social, official or property status, sex, race, nationality, language, religious beliefs, convictions, place of residence or any other circumstances (Article 14, Article 24), and in the context of its prohibition the term "discrimination" is used in a number of international human rights treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan; and national legislation ... there is no legal definition of discrimination in the legislation of Kazakhstan”. 1 See the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, adopted at the Republican referendum on 30 August 1995) (as amended as at 02 February 2011). 2 See CERD/C/439/Add.2, 14/05/04. Reports submitted by state parties in accordance with Article 9 of the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination.

    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.

The researched issues also include the identification of factors provoked by humans and the state to launch these migrations. Surprisingly enough, opposite to the claims made by independent Kazakhstan leadership in the early 2000s, the number of Kazakhs in Kyrgyzstan wishing to become repatriates to their native country is still far from the desired. Thus the article is an attempt to find out what reasons and factors influence the Kazakh residents’ desire to stay in the neighboring country as a minority. To provide the answer, the authors analyzed the dynamics of statistical variations in the number of migrants and the reasons of these changes. The other key point in tracing what characteristic features separate Kazakhs in Kyrgyzstan and their kinsmen in Kazakhstan is the archival data, statistical, historical, and field sources, which provide a systematic overview of the largely unstudied pages of the history of the Kazakh diaspora.

We investigated glacier changes in the Karatal river basin, the largest basin in Zhetysu (Dzhungar) Alatau, Kazakhstan, for the periods 1956–89, 1989–2001 and 2001–12, based on Landsat TM/ETM+ data analysis. In 1989, we found 243 glaciers with a total area of 142.8 km2; by 2012 these had shrunk to 214 glaciers with a total area of 109.3 km2, a decrease of 33.5 km2 over 23 years (1.02% a–1). This very high shrinkage rate is likely connected with a general trend of increasing temperatures, and small glaciers being situated at the relatively low altitude of the outer Zhetysu Alatau ranges. We also analyzed the shrinkage rate of glaciers based on their differences in size, altitude and aspect of slopes, as well as other topographic parameters, in four sub-basins where glacier shrinkage varied between 18% and 39%.

However, this change resulted in clan politics at both the elite and individual levels, which have become an integral part of today’s clan divisions in modern Qazaq society. The main purpose of this paper is to explore how contemporary young Qazaqs perceive Zhuz and Ru clan-based kinship divisions to affect them.

Asian and African Studies, 2020, vol. 12, issue 4, pp. 556–572. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu13.2020.406 The article analyses the research work of Chinese scientist Su Beihai on Kazakh history, one of the oldest nationalities in Eurasia. This work has been preserved as a manuscript and its main merit is the study of Kazakh history from early times to the present. Moreover, it shows Chinese scientists’ attitude to Kazakh history. Su Beihai’s scientific analysis was writ- ten in the late 1980s in China. At that time, Kazakhstan was not yet an independent country. Su Beihai drew on various works, on his distant expedition materials and demonstrated with facts that Kazakh people living in their modern settlements have a 2,500-year history. Although the book was written in accordance with the principles of Chinese communist historiography, Chinese censorship prevented its publication. Today, Kazakh scientists are approaching the end of their study and translation of Su Beihai’s manuscript. Therefore, the article first analyses the most important and innovative aspects of this work for Kazakh history.
