CONFISCATION OF LARGE RICH FARMS IN KAZAKHSTAN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES (according to the materials of Semipalatinsk district)

The paper provides an impartial examination of the historical campaign to liquidate wealthy people suppressed in Kazakhstan during the 1930s, as well as the introduction of generational sources related to deportation and the memory policy of independent Kazakhstan into scholarly discourse. Examination of scholarly literature about the investigation and identification of the interrelationship between the oppressive policies of the Soviet authorities towards the affluent and the policies of enforced collectivisation and sedentarization of nomadic Kazakhs. Archival papers provide evidence for the categorisation of affluent individuals exposed to political persecution in Kazakhstan throughout the 1920s and 1930s, based on cattle ownership. The article reveals deficiencies in the public's understanding of the policy on the confiscation of wealth from the affluent in each region. The class war was intentionally constructed between the affluent and the common residents of the regions. Particular emphasis was placed on the execution of the hand-to-hand strategy between the affluent and the general populace of the areas. Furthermore, it may be asserted that the primary objective is the expropriation of farms owned by affluent individuals who have given financial support and maintained pastures. We attempted to demonstrate via many cases that substantial affluent farms were expropriated, displaced, abandoned, and subjected to persecution. We examined the process of relocating affluent individuals from Semey to Shymkent and from Kostanay to Semey. A distinctive aspect of Soviet strategy was the directive to refrain from consolidating them into a single settlement. The text significantly enhances the overall understanding of political repression throughout the 1920s and 1930s, as well as the process of confiscating wealth from affluent individuals.
