I was on a recent vacation in Kazakhstan during the Labor day week 2024. (1) Weather experience: When I arrived in Astana, 1st of May at 12 midnight, it was snowing with the weather or temperature at minus 1 Celsius. This was May. And when I asked my tour guide friend the next day, he informed me that temps in Astana can easily drop minus 40 degrees Celsius during winter. (2) Land Area: Driving to Burabay National Park, the tour guide told me that Northern Kazakhstan is similar to Siberia in Russia - a vast land with a lot of birch and pine trees wherein winters are the harshest. We also drove near the steppes, and it was very flat and you cannot see civilization, only grazing horses! Overall, it became one of my favorite countries that I have visited as there are NO crowds in their touristic places 😊

There was a harsh genocide of the Kazakhs under tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union.

[@dr.woozie7500]

You left out an important part of Kazakh history, the Kazakh-Dzungar wars which started in the 1600s. The Dzungars were a western Mongol tribe that controlled a large portion of Xinjiang and southern Siberia and subjugated the Kazakhs, gaining territory as far west as Lake Balkhash. This wiped out a huge portion of the Kazakh population. Then from 1755-1757, the Manchus (Qing dynasty) sent an expedition out west and massacred 90% of the Dzungars with the help of the Turkic Uighurs and Kazakhs. As a result, Xinjiang today is home to mostly Turkic Muslim people rather than Mongol Buddhists and the Kazakhs never expanded past the Tian Shan and Altai mountains. The Russians swept south during their conquest of the steppe with little resistance.

Heydar Jemal: Kazakhs today occupy a place determined by their past significance. That is, they are the descendants of those who were the backbone of Batu Khan’s army. The Kazakhs are direct descendants of those who took Kozelsk and Moscow, and their role in the military-political formation of the Horde is obvious. For now, the significance of the Kazakhs is of a historical nature, oriented to the past, and the potential for revealing the Kazakh people is waiting in the wings. This will happen within the framework of greater Turan, where Kazakhstan will be the backbone of Central Asia.

There were many Germans who where drawn in by the Russian Empire as settlers. They even had their own autonomous region within the USSR right next to Khazakstan around the lower Volga river. Shortly after the start of the war in 1941, Stalin accused them all (baselessly) of collaboration with Nazi-Germany. The Volga German ASSR was dismantled and ethnic Germans were deported to Siberia or Khazakstan. From the latter there are storys, that the German people were basically dumped in the middle of nowhere without any belongings. Not unlike the Crimean Tartars. Wouldn't call that "migration".

The small population of Kazakhstan is associated with the climate and the famine of 1929-1933, part of the all-Union famine caused by the official policy of “destruction of the kulaks as a class,” collectivization, increased food procurement plans by the central authorities, and, in fact, the confiscation of livestock. If you take away up to 3 million of the population of Kazakhstan, then this is actually half the population of Kazakhs at that time. Since then, World War II has claimed the lives of countless people. But even despite the high birth rate of the Kazakh population. Only in the 70s were the Kazakhs able to reach the population level they had before the famine.

So convenient of you to forget the fact that these empires were so hostile because they were ravaged by Central Asians for centuries. The Mongols and the Huns ransacked China more times than you could count and slaughtered people and the Russians were severely impacted by such raids too, so much so that the entire reason Russia exists was because they had to unify the Kievan Rus into a tsardom to increase their level of power to stop being massacred, sold into slavery and having their cities burnt down. I just find it hypocritical that people complain about the "white man" and conveniently forget about WHY they do stuff like this in the first place. The Mongols almost annihilated the Kievan Rus from existence it was so bad, you thought the Russians would let that happen again? Russia is so paranoid about war and invasions that they conquer the world in order to not be conquered because you burnt them so bad. The entire reason Russia took over Central Asia was to stop the barbarians from ransacking their nation.

[@maozedong8370]

@@user-ug6qu9se3e They aren't "evil." You forget China and Russia were annihilated by Genghis Khan as well as other Central Asian nomadic peoples who crippled them so badly that both China and Russia turned the tables as soon as they could and expanded into those lands to prevent it from ever happening again. War is natural for all societies. Stop acting like some moral crusader, there is NO such thing as good or evil, they are all convenient labels humans just make up in their head and throw at whatever, at whenever time they please.

I remember reading one of the articles by Kazakh scientists explaining what would be hypothetical population size if not for the artificial famine caused by collectivisation that was brought by communist. They explained that approximately population size should be around 30-40 million instead of current 20 million (2024). I also heard stories that back in 1920s there used to be more Kazakhs than Uzbeks, but again due robbery from the communist of all the cattle that nomads like us possessed and never being taught farming (communist had plan to do that but “conveniently” they never did) caused death of approximately 2-3 million people eventually becoming minority in own country

[@sturmx96]

If this, if that... None of that matters as I can imagine the whole future history where Kazakhstan rules the whole world if they did this and that at some point of time.

Guys, I am from Kazakhstan, and numbers about genocide which happened last century in comments section are false. We were the SECOND largest turkic group after Turkey (They were 11 million, we were around 9 million people). Then soviet slaughtered almost 70% of the population, estimating ca. 6 million people! Afterwards, half of them migrated to Mongolia, China, Iran and Turkey. moscow then brought bunch of russians to KAZAKHSTAN as an expansion, so Kazakhs were the minority a bit over a million people!

For anybody wondering why some maps here of the country have a weird circle cut out in the center, that would be the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which is leased to Russia, so Kazahk authorities have only limited power there, as far as I know.

There are 3 million Hazaras in Afghanistan who are originally from Kazakhstan. Hazaras used to be a huge population but in 1892 Afghans Pashtuns killed 62% of Hazaras. The Hazaras who were Kazakhs under the Mongol rule were sent to modern day Afghanistan and Pakistan.

​@@AshixaiКазахи полностью состоят из тюркских племён и родов. Это советско-российские псевдоисторики решили, что такие казахские рода как: найман, конырат, барлас, керей и т.д. являются "монгольского" происхождения" только потому что названия похожи на язык так называемых "монгол"(халха), но все эти рода являются чисто тюркскими. "Монголы" никогда не называли и не называют себя этим этнонимом, население Монголии называют себя "халха", этноним "Монгол, Монголия" навязала им СССР. Вы путаете с политическим названием "могол" Золотой Орды. У монгол (халха) совсем иные племена и пришли они на территорию нынешней территории Монголии из тунгусо-манчжурии.

I know, I know. Weirdly enough, I just recently noticed just how tragic Kazakh history is, the sheer horror, trials and tribulations of it. Being raised in Kazakhstan, its history was televised and mentioned all of the time. I heard and read about it to the point where I grew accustomed to it, and since then I saw these atrocities as something arbitrary and a part of everyday life. Thank you for your work and the international attention that it brought online. I wish you all the best. ❤.
