ШЕТ ЕЛДЕРДЕГІ ҚАЗАҚ ДИАСПОРАСЫНЫҢ ҚАЛЫПТАСУ КЕЗЕҢДЕРІ

The proposed article is devoted to the problem of immigration in connection with some historical events of representatives of Kazakh nationalities to other countries. XIX-XX centuries, a large number of Kazakhs were forced to move outside their homeland. Basically, Kazakhs were forced to move to the east to China and Tibet, to the south to Uzbekistan, Karakalpakstan, Turkmenistan, then to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Turkey. After World War II, the Kazakh diaspora was formed in Western Europe and North America. According to some sources, at the moment the total number of Kazakhs in the world is 18 million people, meanwhile, more than 4 million Kazakhs live outside the territory of Kazakhstan, according to some data, about 2 million Kazakhs live in 14 states of the former USSR and 25 countries of the world. Of these, only more than 500 thousand represent a typical diaspora, the remaining 3.5 million people are Kazakh irredentists, that is, they live on the lands bordering Kazakhstan. . The irredent includes Kazakhs living in the regions of Russia bordering Kazakhstan, the Bayan-Ulgiy aimag and on the territory of the Mongolian Altai and the Khangai Mountains in Mongolia, the Kazakh autonomous counties of China, in Karakalpakstan and other cities of Uzbekistan. At the moment, it is necessary to study the historical and modern issues of the Kazakh diaspora and its heritage, because they are an integral part of the entire Kazakh people, have common historical and cultural roots, and their fate is closely connected with the fate of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
