THE KAZAKH DIASPORA: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
A.
Kaliyeva, Candidate of
Sociological Sciences,
R. Saurbaeva, Senior teacher
(Kazakh State Women’s Teacher
Training University)
Annotation: The authors analyzed the meaning of the definition of «Diaspora». Based on
the works Mendikulova G. discusses the history of formation of the Kazakh Diaspora (XVIII)
and its current situation, both in Kazakhstan and abroad.
Keywords: diaspora, voluntary migration typology.
During last two decades international relations in the World Community were
complicated by increasing of the large-scale inter ethnic conflicts, very often growing to a war.
That is why importance of research historical and contemporary roots of these events is actually
and obviously. In current international relation studies, ethnic pluralism takes a very important
place. Now we talk about one of categories of ethnic pluralism: Diaspora, which influence to
international relations because it could be a source of either international or inter ethnic
conflicts.
The global Kazakh population in 1999-2000 exceeded 12 million, with some 8 million in
Kazakhstan, another 1.5 million in China, more than 800 thousand in Russia, 1.5 million in
Uzbekistan, 80 thousand in Mongolia, and rest are in various other countries. According to,
which was compiled on the basis of several statistical studies and research Gulnara
Mendikulova, among these 4 million Kazakhs who live abroad about 800 thousand are the
Kazakh Diaspora, the rest are Irredenta. Irredenta is an ethnic group, occupying its own lands,
which as a result of conquests or annexations of territories belong to the neighboring countries
of its motherland. The Irredenta does not move, they were separated from the main body of
their ethnic group by state borders. In the case of the Kazakhs, we have both Irredenta and
Diaspora in Russia, China and Uzbekistan. In Russia the Kazakh Irredenta is settled in
Astrakhanskaya, Kurganskaya, Volgogradskaya, Orenburgskaya, Omskaya, Chelyabinskaya,
and Gorno-Altaiskaya Autonomous oblasts. The representatives of the Kazakh Diaspora in
Russia live in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The Kazakh Irredenta in Russia was created by
colonial conquests of the Tsar’s policy during 16th - first decade of the twentieth centuries, and
national state territorial division of Kazakhstan and Central Asia in 1925 in the Soviet period.
In China the Kazakh Irredenta lives in Sinkiang-Uighur Autonomous Region and the
same Diaspora settled in the central areas of China. The Kazakh Irredenta in China was created
by the historical events in 18-19th centuries, in consequences of the State-territorial division in
Central Asia between Russian and Chinese empires in the second part of the 19th century.
First of all about the definition of a Diaspora and then consider some typologies concern
to it. According to the definition given in «Modern Diasporas in International Politics», edited
by Gabriel Sheffer: «Modern Diaspora are ethnic minority groups of migrant origins residing
and acting in host countries but maintaining strong sentimental and material links with their
countries of origin - their homelands»)[1]. In typology of a Diaspora we have a few variations.
In 1976 on the pages of American Political Science Review, J. Armstrong offered one of the
first typology of a Diaspora: mobilized and proletarian. Representatives of ethnic groups played

or play significant role in external affairs of a recipient country define as mobilized Diaspora.
In the history Greeks and Armenians in Ottoman Empire, Germans in Tsar’s Russia could be to
account as a mobilized Diaspora. Current representatives of mobilized Diasporas having
important economical and organizing resources could influence and give some support to
governments of recipient country both internal and external problems. Proletarian Diasporas is
a product of labor migration from (very often) rural areas of developing or middle developing
countries into western ones. Having being labor migrants they could not influence to
government’s acts. In case of the Kazakh Diaspora, it could be account as mobilized one in
Turkey in 1970-1980s, and as proletarian - in Western European countries and America since
1960s till present.
But from the point of view Gulnara Mendikulova this typology is not enough for
describing of nature of a Diaspora, because other types of migration population did not include
there, such as: professional migrants (scholars, musicians, etc.). That is why the Armstrong’s
classification does not work completely. In 1993 in the article “Ethnic Diasporas: A Treat to
Their Hosts?” by G. Sheffer, on the base of researches of J. Armstrong, M. Miller, R. Rogers,
M. Weiner, M. Esman and others, the following classification of a Diaspora was given: classic,
new and incipient. This typology does not consider both character and cause of migration
formed a Diaspora in recipient country. So, according Shefer’s typology, Jews and Armenians
are classic Diaspora, representatives of labor immigration - new and remains, who arrived to a
recipient country not so long ago (especially, after any conflicts) are incipient one. There are no
comments to this unserious typology. In his 1997 monograph Global Diasporas, Robin Cohen
proposes the following typology, which classifies Diasporas into five distinct groups: victim,
labor, and trade, imperial and cultural. While Cohen’s model offers new classifications of
Diasporas, his attempt to place Diasporas into only one of these groups problematic. This is
because Diasporas have the potential to be in any of the five groups, and often have elements of
more than one at a time.
Gulnara Mendikulova shows that the Kazakh Diaspora can be classified as a victim,
labor, trade and cultural Diaspora. Indeed, throughout its history, Kazakhs have been political
and war refugees as well as labor, trade or cultural emigrants. Robin Cohen in «Global
Diasporas» wrote about diaspora: «I identified the Jewish, Palestinian, Irish, African and
Armenian Diasporas as the principal ones that can be described with the preceding adjective of
«victim» [2]. But all peoples in different times (historical periods) had trauma, after which a
part of them escaped from home country. This book was published in 1997, at the period when
we could not define Jewish and Armenian Diasporas as victims and by Robin Cohen’s
classification, especially Jewish Diaspora is ones imperial (in context with Palestinian
problems). In modernity, in particular, during last decade many historical tragically events took
and take places in the World, which, in their turn, created or developed diasporas. Why only
these peoples? Universal history has many examples of «the principal» victim «Diaspora». For
example, Crimean Tatar’s Diaspora which was deprived its own lands on Crimean peninsula
during consequently the Russian Empire policy. Why he did not include in this list: Indian,
Chinese, former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union people’s Diasporas and many others.
Any Diaspora is a victim of a war, ecological catastrophe, internal and external policies,
and ruined economical system in a home country or, at the end, its own ambitions. Any
Diaspora takes multiple forms and changes its character over time. That is why, the typology,
which was proposed by Robin Cohen does not work completely, when he adds ethnic
belonging to. The Kazakh Diaspora was or is a victim, labour, trade and cultural, because at
different times in several countries and the Kazakhs were or are political and war refugees,
labour, trade or cultural emigrants.

Diaspora is created by migrations usually in untraditional, alien environments. In the
Western historiography of Migration there are two types of it: Forced and Voluntary
Migrations of the Kazakh Diaspora Every migrant population could be divided into two parts.
The first part is those who escape from violence. The second one makes voluntary decision to
migrate: they have a right and opportunity of choice: to stay or leave their homeland. The firsts
have the right, but do not have the opportunity. As a result, it is very important to research the
reasons of man choice, when he/she decides to leave home country and migrate to another one.
These reasons could be described as «push» or «pull» aims: «from what» and «for what» a man
needs to change his life and make a fresh start. It is not a voluntary decision; it is necessity,
which very often is connected with his security and well being. It is not a sightseeing tour; it is
stark reality, which challenges his survival. Reasons of migration could be political,
economical, religious, cultural, ecological and etc.
The Kazakh Diaspora was created by forced and voluntary long distance migrations, for
permanent time, with crossing of international borders, by the political, economical and
religious causes. All Kazakh Diaspora movements were characterized by either mass or
individual migrations. Forced Kazakh Migrations or Victim Diaspora Mass Kazakh migration
was always forced ones and usually took place in eastern countries. In the process of the forced
creation of the Kazakh Diaspora, there are two separate fields/blocks of study: First - Kazakh
emigration from Kazakhstan to neighboring countries, and further resettlement in the World in
18-20th centuries, and 2 - Kazakh exodus from Sinkiang in 1940-1950s. There were: Kazakh-
Oirats wars within the first part of the 18
th
century; numerous uprisings against Russian
expansion and colonization of Kazakhstan in 18-19th centuries; the National-Liberation
movement 1916 against Russian rule in Kazakhstan and Central Asian region; the
establishment of the Soviet rule in Kazakhstan; the Collectivization (1929-1932); The Second
World War.
The first Kazakh exodus from Kazakhstan took place in the spring of 1723, when the
Oirats surprised the peaceful Kazakh auls (villages) attacked and massacred many people,
entire Kazakh clans and tribes were completely destroyed. Other Kazakhs were forced to leave
their homes and flee to Bukhara and Khiva khanates and Badakhshan area in Pamir. Under the
rule of Tsars in 18-19th centuries, there were several Kazakh emigrations following the defeats
of numerous Kazakh uprisings against Russian conquest and Tsarist policy in Kazakhstan that
promoted giving the best land to Russians. Kazakhs emigrated to China, Bukhara, Khiva,
Afghanistan and Iran.
The 20th century was a generator of historical events, to which consequences the forced
Kazakh Diaspora was developed. In 1916 the biggest national-liberation movement in
Kazakhstan and Central Asia began, where Kazakhs fought against the Russian Government’s
effort to conscript Kazakhs for labor battalions behind the front of the First World War. This
armed rebellion resulted in the massacre of several hundred thousand Kazakhs, and more than
300 thousand Kazakhs and Kyrgyzs fled to China. Later, the Bolsheviks established control and
many Kazakhs refused to accept their hegemony; eventually they emigrated to the South and
the East, finally crossing the frontiers of Afghanistan, Iran, and China. They also fled to France
and Turkey. Collectivization in the Soviet period resulted in gross human tragedy for the
Kazakh population and devastated the Kazakh nomadic economy. Thousand of nomadic
families were forced into collective encampments where their animals often starved to death for
lack of adequate grazing. The Kazakh livestock starved, hence the people starved. During only
three years of the collectivization, from 1929 to 1933, nearly 2 million or 52% of total Kazakh
population was lost. 42% were killed by hunger, and 10% of Kazakhs also fled to other regions,

including Xinjiang in China, Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Russia and Karakalpakistan. What
happened to the Kazakh people was an example of genocide.
World War II uprooted and displaced enormous numbers of people across the globe.
From this period, there are two interesting developments of the Kazakh Diaspora evolving out
of the capture of Kazakh soldiers by the Nazis. Kazakhs took participated to the Second World
War in 1941, after the aggression Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union. The Nazis captured some
of them in the early years of the war. As prisoners of war, Kazakhs were first concentrated in
large transitional/concentration camps, and subsequently, were distributed among smaller work
camps in Germany and German-occupied territories. There were two ways there: To joined to
the resistance movement on these territories, for example, in France, where about 350 Kazakhs
fought with Nazis, as members of the French Resistance movement in 1944-1945 near the town
of Toulouse; Or another way: to stay without initiatives in prisoner camps and wait for the
solution of their fates. In such a manner, the «Turkestan Legion» was a group that formed in
German concentration camps, since the end of 1941, especially, for participating in the fronts
of the Second World War, against the Soviet Union. Kazakhs were largest group in the Legion,
after Uzbeks and numbered about 420 thousand there. After the defeat of the Nazi Germany in
the Second World War, Turkestan legionaries were kept in the concentration camps, in
particular in Dahau. After the checking a part of them returned the Soviet Union, but many of
them decided to leave in the West. To the Selection Committee, they said that they are Turks,
as a result, were moved to Turkey. There were about 20 Kazakhs, former prisoners of war, and
then Turkestan legionaries in 1950s in Turkey.
Kazakh Exodus from Eastern Turkestan in 1940-1950s. One of the most heroic stories to
be told in Central Asia is that of the fate of the Kazakhs in Eastern Turkestan. According to the
Chinese census of 1937-1943, about half a million Kazakhs lived in the country between the
Altai Mountains and the borders of the Northwest Tibet known as Eastern Turkestan (now
called Sinkiang). There are two major developments whereby Kazakhs were driven from
Sinkiang. First, the local Chinese governor Shen Shin Tsai encouraged Han-Chinese peasants
to settle on lands occupied by Kazakhs. As a result, many were forcibly deported from their
ancestral home in the Altai Mountains region. There was a real reason, why Kazakhs took
participation in the many uprisings against Chinese authorities, and after defeat more than 18
thousand of them were forced move to India, via Tibet in 1939-1941. The second major
Kazakh exodus took place after 1949 when the Chinese Communists established control and a
prolonged-armed resistance forced Kazakhs to leave Eastern Turkestan in 1951. After crossing
the sands of the Lopnor desert and snow summits of Tibet Mountains, the Kazakhs arrived in
India and Pakistan. With few material assets, their economic livelihood was not easy and the
Indian Government would not allow them permanent settlement until 1952. On the other hand,
the Turkish government enthusiastically supported the Kazakh Diaspora, ultimately giving
permission for 1,850 Kazakh political refugees to settle permanently in Turkey. With the help
of the Kashmir and Indian Governments as well as the United Nations, World Church Service,
National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States, the Kazakhs were able to leave
Kashmir and resettle in Turkey from 1952 to 1956. All of these events – from the initial
onslaught of the Oirats in the eighteenth century until the forceful expulsion of the Kazakhs
from Eastern Turkestan by the Chinese Communists – certainly distinguish the Kazakh
Diaspora as a victim Diaspora. And we could to stress that till the end of 1950s the Kazakh
Diaspora was created by mass forced migration.
Voluntary Migrations of the Kazakh Diaspora or Labor, Cultural and Trade Diaspora
When the Kazakhs moved to the West their movements are characterized by individual and
voluntary migrations. Since 1960s the Kazakh Diaspora is characterized by voluntary

189
migrations of individuals. It was a new trend in the development of the Kazakh Diaspora. The
Kazakhs, as a component of the Turkish labor immigration movement, came to the West,
primarily as manual laborers. Today, the Kazakh Diaspora in the West consists of office
employees in large corporations, hotels, and various other service industries. Many Kazakhs
have their own businesses. About one third of them have manufacturing businesses in the
Western European countries and in the United States. In 1990s there are many examples of
Kazakh scholars, artists, and musicians who left Kazakhstan for work in the West, according to
invitations of the Western governments.
In the case of the Kazakh Diaspora now it is good observed two tendencies: Attempts to
preservation and development its ethnic identity in the conditions of alien living in the West or
Repatriation to Kazakhstan. These tendencies became more active after 1991, when
Kazakhstan declared its independence. Who decided to leave/live in the West, first of all, tried
to stop the process of acculturation. It took place on early stages of Kazakh coming to Turkey,
for example. First step was made in a family. Kazakhs taught their children to speak in Kazakh,
to know Kazakh traditions. Mono-ethnic marriage was stimulated. Outside the family, Kazakhs
began organized the cultural ethnic centers. For example, in the UK Kazakh Cultural Center
was established in 1992. There are a few specifics of the Kazakh Diaspora in the West.
Anywhere and always they were/are ethnic minority group; they have small numbers in a host
country, which is not more than a few hundred families; they never played/play significant role
in political elite activity of a host country; Representatives of the Kazakh Diaspora usually live
in urban zone, which gives them good opportunities for job and education. They had/have great
adaptation abilities, which usually help them to live and act in new environment successfully,
such as: good and very quick language skills/knowledge; very short period of adaptation to
alien climatic environment. But at the same time they have very strong Kazakh identity, which
is displayed in Kazakh traditions, celebrations and customs in living activity. Now, after 1991,
the Kazakh Diaspora has strong sentimental and maternal links with the Republic of
Kazakhstan, which was impossible in the Soviet period. Another Kazakhs returned to
Kazakhstan, where especially for them the conditions were created) [3, 4].
In conclusion, nevertheless it is clear that the Kazakh Diaspora, throughout its history,
included elements of the victim, labor, trade and cultural diaspora introduced in Robin Cohen’s
recent work. These new classifications of diaspora give us new tools to critically examine
diaspora around the world. Although they should be seen not as mutually exclusive, as Cohen
argues, but rather that these classifications exist in combinations and multiple forms.
