Description

Epistolary sources on the history of the Alash movement (documents from the holdings of the State Archive of Tomsk Region of the Russian Federation) relating to one of the most tragic periods in our national history in the early twentieth century, when, as a result of the overthrow of the Russian monarchy and the period of so-called “dual power,” inevitable processes of political self-determination began across the territory of the former Russian Empire - not only within the Russian political elite, but also among the national elites in the borderlands. Kazakhstan, to the surprise of many, became one of the most politicized and effective regions in terms of self-realization. This collection presents documents directly relating to the history of the Kazakh intelligentsia as represented by the leaders of the national Alash movement, which, in the second half of 1917, finally took shape as a powerful political party and, on the basis of decisions of the Kazakh congresses, proclaimed its own statehood in the form of the Alash Republic and created a governing body, the Alash Orda. The main sources are materials from the 1st All-Siberian Regional Congress in Tomsk in 1917, speeches by Kazakh delegates, correspondence, minutes, manuscripts and the political correspondence of the leaders of Siberia and Kazakhstan. The collection includes resolutions of the congress found in the Pushkin Tomsk Regional Scientific Library, published by the Tomsk Provincial Printing House in 1917. Many of the documents are being published for the first time, are being introduced into scholarly circulation, and are of great scholarly value. It is intended for historians, political scientists, students, graduate students, and the general public who are concerned with the history of the country and its people.
