Socio-political life of Kazakhs abroad in the 20th century

Abstract

The article underscores that the socio-political life of Kazakhs abroad in the 20th century was intimately connected with the collective destiny of the Kazakh populace. Kazakhs overseas, dwelling in emigration, waged their struggle for the reinstatement of statehood. Throughout the era of Soviet authority, Kazakh public associations persisted in playing a significant role in conserving national culture and language. During the period of restructuring and the dissolution of the USSR, Kazakh public organizations took the lead in the battle for the independence of Kazakhstan. The socio-political life of Kazakhs overseas exerted a noteworthy influence on the progression of Kazakhstan, facilitating the preservation of the national identity of the Kazakh people, their resurgence, and development.
