This article considers the history of Kazakhstan in the 1920s and 1930s from the point of view of the “empire of positive action” concept, introduced by Martin Terry. The purpose of the article is to analyse and evaluate historical events in Kazakhstan as an integral part of the world history through the use of new methodological approaches. The scientific and practical value of the study is determined by the opportunity to draw accurate conclusions about the national policy pursued in Kazakhstan as a part of the Soviet Union. When comparing the causes and consequences of events in the history of Kazakhstan with the concept of “empire of positive action”, the use of methods of analysis and systematization allows us to make a classification of similarities and differences between the national policy of the Soviets and colonial national policy. This concept has not been previously used in historical research in Kazakhstan. The research in this direction is one of the important steps for integrating issues of Kazakh history into world history. The scientific findings of the study can be used in a deeper study of the specified period of the history of Kazakhstan.
