Seizure of lands occupied by Kazakh tribes conducted by the Romanov Empire triggered the need to create adequate structures of the Russian administration to rule the country effectively. The first half of the 19th century witnessed the process of the Russian bureaucratic elite searching for an appropriate management model for the areas inhabited by the Kazakhs. A number of options for the design of the management structure were considered, ranging from the models functioning on the lands inhabited by nomadic tribes to new systems in need of verification. Finally, the process of administrative integration of the Kazakh Steppe finished in the 1860s.

Opanowanie ziem z plemionami kazachskimi przez imperium Romanowów spowodowało konieczność utworzenia odpowiednich struktur administracji rosyjskiej, pozwalających na skuteczne zarządzanie tymi terenami. W pierwszej połowie XIX w. w kręgach biurokratycznej elity rosyjskiej miało miejsce poszukiwanie odpowiedniego modelu zarządzania dla tego obszaru. Rozpatrywano zastosowanie szeregu wariantów aparatu zarządzania: od już funkcjonujących na ziemiach zamieszkanych przez plemiona koczownicze do nowych jeszcze niesprawdzonych systemów. Ostatecznie proces integracji administracyjnej Stepu Kazachskiego zakończył się w latach 60. XIX w.

In contemporary international relations, the issue of energy security is becoming fundamental. Access to energy resources is an existential need of every country, conditioning its economic and social development. In such a situation, states try to construct long-term energy security policies to ensure smooth supplies of raw materials. The research problem is the analysis of the energy security policy of the People’s Republic of China towards the Caspian states of Central Asia: Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. In the research process, a hypothesis was verified, assuming that China’s energy security policy in the Caspian region of Central Asia is determined by the increased demand of this superpower for energy resources and geographical proximity to oil and gas deposits located in Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) became interested in the hydrocarbon resources of the Central Asian region right after the collapse of the USSR. At that time, the energy security policy of this superpower was implemented in several stages: from gaining access to the oil and gas reserves of the countries of the region to the construction of export pipelines supplying the absorptive Chinese market. Thus, the analysis presents the conditions of the PRC’s energy security policy, its institutional dimension and actions towards Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, both in upstream and midstream terms.

The article aims to explain the relationships between the official historical narrative (politics of memory) and the image of the state on the international area (nation branding). The analysis was based mainly on the Kazakh cinematography and the Kazakh TV station programs. I argue that the official historical narrative may contribute to the change of Kazakhstan perception on the international area. Politics of memory aims at highlighting the selected historical periods and concealing others. Kazakhstan elites are trying to emphasize the recent history, modernization and economic successes of the state after 1991. The pre-Soviet history is also strongly accentuated, and the historical continuity of the Kazakh nation (or even its statehood) from the end of the 15th century is highlighted. The politics of memory also aims at retraditionalization, i.e., the traditional lifestyle of nomads is widely publicized. On the other hand, the period of Russian and Soviet rule, painful events in the history of the twentieth century, are omitted or even concealed. Such a manner of conducting politics of memory may change the image of Kazakhstan, from the post–Soviet state to a modern one, modernized but at the same time nomadic, with a rich tradition.

The purpose of this study is: (i) to determine the competitiveness of Kazakhstan in contemporary international trade, with particular regard to the mineral resources possessed by the country; (ii) to show the consequences of Kazakhstan’s resources-dependent competitive profile for the economic development of the country; (iii) to look at measures taken by Kazakh authorities to facilitate future development. To this end, the methodology of analysing revealed comparative advantages was applied. The analysis has shown that the competitive profile of Kazakhstan in international trade is low. The country does not possess any comparative advantages in trade in the categories of high-technology and medium-hightechnology goods while its strongest advantages are in exports of mineral resources and their derivatives, which determines the resources-based character of the entire economy and makes its future development heavily dependent on developments in international resources markets.

Joining of Kazakhstan to the Bologna three-cycle system increased significantly the number of programs taught in English language. There are about 40 universities which have special groups, where English is used as the medium of instruction and it makes more than 30% from total educational program. Quantity of the Bachelor, Master and PhD programs are growing dramatically. Some universities see an opportunity to attract a wider range of students or feel that EMI strengthens offer to those students who believe studying in English will make them more employable. EMI can be seen as a threat to the status and development of the local language. On the other hand, EMI can also be treated as an opportunity. This article offers review of issues related with applying EMI in Kazakhstan HEIs.

The article examines the issues surrounding tourist activity and social interest in agritourism among residents of the main cities in Kazakhstan. Based on the survey results among a group of n = 577 respondents, the article inspected the extent of their participation in rural tourism, including agritourism, as well as their preferences and expectations regarding the type and extent of services offered on tourist farms. Research results show that the interest of city residents in using agritourism farm services is limited despite of a generally positive attitude towards rural tourism. Potential tourists’ expectations of agritourism farm services focus primarily on the quality of accommodations and the sanitary conditions present in the facilities providing them. Domestic tourists especially expect to be able to take advantage of natural products with medicinal and cosmetic properties. They view active forms of leisure as a mere supplement. The respondents’ opinions and assessments can determine the ways agritourism farms adapt to this clientele as well as impact organisational decisions and strategic planning of rural tourism in the country.

The article analyses the contents of the Museum and Memorial Complex of Political Repressions and Totalitarianism Victims on the former Akmolinsky Camp for Wives of the Traitors of the Motherland (Akmolińskij łagierżon izmiennikow Rodiny, ALZhiR). The author describes and scrutinizes the functioning of the museum “ALZhIR” in the context of internal and external politics of the Kazakhstan state conducted by president Nursultan Nazarbayev and his allies. The museum not only introduces the camp reality but also highlights the support given to the Kazakh state and Kazakh nation. The author focuses on the analysis of those aspects of the museum content that present the national ideology, which main ideas are a glorification of Kazakh history, culture and humanitarianism (i.e. fundamental requirement of giving aid to the people in need).

The article concerns the memories of the Polish noblewoman Aniela Potocka (1908-1995) who came from the Eastern borderlands of Poland. Arrested with her son and aunt in April 1940 by NKVD, she was sent to Kazakhstan. After the amnesty for the Poles kept in Soviet prison camps was declared on the grounds of the Polish-Soviet agreement of 31 July 1941 she was released but still remained in the Soviet Union for the following three years. Then she returned to Poland. The published memories are an interesting record of the fates of exiles but also testify to people’s inner power, patriotism and religious faith which made it easier to survive in Soviet reality.

Based on the survey questionnaire and interviews with employees of the state archives across Kazakhstan, this article examines the impact of digital technology on Kazakh archivists. Although the impact of information technology on human life in the information age is growing, there is a lack of research in Kazakhstan about how the deep transformation in society engendered by digital technology has affected the national archival system and archivists. It is therefore not fully understood how they can influence and what changes they bring to the archival system in Kazakhstan and archivists. Hence, this study aims to fill the gap in this specific area and contribute to the scholarship on archival science. The results of the study empirically confirm the positive impact of information technology on the work of archivists. The obtained data require a critical approach to the role of information technology in the work of archivists.

The prospects and trends for the development of border regions of the former Soviet Union have become one of the profound research areas in the field of economic geography recently. In the conditions of planned economy in the Republics of the USSR, a vertical system of industrial complexes was formed, with the focus on performing national economic tasks. There have been some significant changes in the border regions of independent post-Soviet States in the process of transition to the market economy model. The analysis of the industrial and territorial structure is done on the example of Russia and Kazakhstan. The formation of a common market on the basis of the Eurasian Economic Union allowed the border regions to make the most of their competitive advantage in attracting investments. The unique geographical particularity of the research object is manifested in the fact that there are no analogues of the longest land border in the world as between Russia and Kazakhstan. The new forms of production organisation are implemented in the border regions of the studied countries over more than 7,000 km. More than a quarter of a century later, transformation processes are clearly observed in the mining and manufacturing industries, agriculture, transport and services. As a result, the “regional asymmetry” of industrial development can be observed when manufacturing regions with high added value become the “cores” of economic development of cross-border relations between Russia and Kazakhstan.

Gender discrimination remains an objective fact that accompanies the labor market in Kazakhstan. Employment, distribution of labor duties within the employees and imposition of new duties on the employee, above and beyond the stipulated labor contract, are accompanied by gender discrimination. Job advertisements include requirements for applicants’ gender; at interviews, female applicants are directly asked discriminatory questions about fulfillment of family duties, plans to create a family or have children. At the same time, there are no questions about the possibilities of combining work and family duties when hiring a man with family responsibilities. There are no female representatives in senior positions of top state institutions, as well as among top managers of enterprises in quasi-public and private sectors, with some rare exceptions, and among the leaders of the regions, the capital, the cities of republican significance there has never been a woman. However, from the point of view of legislation, in Kazakhstan there are no problems with gender inequality in general and there is no discrimination in labor relations. The article argues for the need to take measures in Kazakhstan’s society and the labor market towards achieving actual gender equality. Arguments in favor of enacting comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation aimed at combating direct and indirect discrimination, covering all prohibited grounds for discrimination, including gender identity, are presented. Recommendations have been developed to ensure full access of women to economic, social and cultural rights and their implementation in Kazakhstan.

The article analyzes the cultural and creative heritage of artists of Polish descent who found themselves in Kazakhstan for various reasons in the period from the middle of the 19th to the end of the 20th centuries. In addition to their unconditional artistic value, the results of their creative efforts are of great scientific importance for modern Kazakhstan as unique ethnographic sources and documentary evidence of the daily graft and life of the Kazakh steppe. Domestic historical science already has a certain reserve dedicated to various sociopolitical, cultural and economic aspects of Kazakh-Polish relations, where the deportation of Poles and the formation of Kazakhstan’s Polonia are of particular importance. However, the creative heritage of Polish artists in Kazakhstan fell into the field of vision of scientists extremely occasionally. While its cultural and art historical context is able to shed light on many facets of the history, ethnography and culture of the Kazakh people. During the research, retrospective, comparative-historical and formal-stylistic campaigns were used. The result of the research is a retrospective analysis of the works of some of the most prominent Polish artists, due to various factors, for whom the Great Steppe has become not only a home, but also a source of inspiration and strength.

This paper discusses the status of Kazakh in Shymkent in recent years. Shymkent is the third-largest city in Kazakhstan, with a population of over one million. Like in all large cities in this country, most of the Kazakh population in Shymkent is Kazakh-Russian bilingual, while the Russians are monolingual Russian speakers. The strength of Kazakh in Shymkent depends on many factors, such as the type of district, sociolinguistic features, and it is different in the spoken and the written form. Although Kazakh in Shymkent is the object of frequent comments in Kazakhstan, it has not yet been studied. The research material is based on fieldwork, analysis of the local media and websites. It may be argued that despite the local conditions and assets, the position of Kazakhs in public domains depends on the state’s language policy and the degree of integration with Russia.

The article presents a culturological interpretation of more than eighty years of cultural development of Polish community of thousands in Kazakhstan. Currently, the republic has developed a unique format of balanced political, economic and socio-cultural interaction of more than one hundred and forty ethnically diverse groups forming the “people of Kazakhstan”. The historical special aspects of the Kazakhstan’s Polonia formation have long been of interest to domestic scientists; however, in practice the cultural context of its existence has not been studied. Works of Kazakh and Russian historians, fact-based material: in-depth interviews with ethnic Poles, representatives of the Center for Polish Culture (Almaty) and other governmental and public organizations that are directly involved in promoting the Polish culture in Kazakhstan establish the article’s theoretical framework. The lookback study and comparative historical method were used when working on the article. According to the authors, the article will provide the analysis of the cultural experience of the Kazakhstan’s Polish diaspora, that can demonstrate the actual state of things and outline the prospects for the further development of the modern multi-ethnic state.

The article deals with the semantic nature of the images of a wolf and a she-wolf in the shamanistic natural philosophy of the nomadic Turkic-speaking population of Central Asia. The focus here is an archetypal image of a wolf and a she-wolf as ancestors, defenders and guardians of the Turks’ cultural code – one of the most powerful, large-scale and sustainable Eurasia cultures, united by common linguistic roots and mentality. The majority of studies of the semantics of zoomorphic characters in Central Asian cultures focus on a wolf, while a she-wolf’s image at most is in the sidelines, although it appears in almost all Turkic genealogical legends as one of the central characters. The authors are of the opinion that the study of natural philosophical underpinnings of images of a wolf and a she-wolf from the point of view of traditional shamanistic ritualism can expand the long-held beliefs about transformation and specificity of functioning of mental values in the cultural sphere of modern society.
