    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.

  • Ukrainian Diaspora in Kazakhstan
    5 • Š t ú d i e a a n a l ý z y • ELENA NECHAYEVA – PETRO Tokar – Marina Onuchko – SVYATOSLAV RUBAN Ukrainian diaspora in Kazakhstan The article analyzes the history, dynamics and current position of Ukrainians in Kazakhstan, causes of their migration and major migration flows, dynamics of Ukrainians population in Kazakhstan and their impact on the socioeconomic, political and cultural development of both countries. State policy of Ukraine and Kazakhstan is under research, also priorities of governmental and non-governmental organizations of both countries in meeting of the national cultural needs of Ukrainians in Kazakhstan, preservation of their identity. Key words: Ukrainians in other countries; eastern diaspora; resettlement; language; national and cultural revival; meeting ethnic needs Diaspora is the settling of a significant part of the people outside their country or ethnic terri- tory. The main reason for the formation of a diaspora is migration beyond the homeland due to economic, political, religious or other reasons. In it are the essence, rationale and critical impor- tance of knowledge of a diaspora in any country, including its migratory movements. Ukrainian expatriate community plays a significant role in Ukraine’s international standing. It is an important demographic, intellectual, socio-cultural and informational resource of their country of nativity and the country of residence. In close mutual cooperation Ukrainians abroad should be an important factor in Ukraine’s foreign policy, building of a positive international image, development of economic, cultural and other relations with foreign countries, economic, cultural and information presence in geopolitically important regions. In this context, of particu- lar importance is the preservation of identity, support and development of the Ukrainian diaspora in Kazakhstan, both in terms of its population size, and as an important resource for the forging of partnerships and mutually beneficial relations with the Republic of Kazakhstan.
