*In the 19th century, the '''Russian Empire''' began to expand its influence into Central Asia. | |||
*The Russian Empire introduced a system of administration and built military garrisons and barracks in its effort to establish a presence in Central Asia in the so-called "Great Game" for dominance in the area '''against the British Empire''', which was extending its influence from the south in India and Southeast Asia. | |||
*From the 1890s onward, ever-larger numbers of '''settlers from the Russian Empire''' began colonizing the territory of present-day Kazakhstan, in '''particular, the province of Semirechye'''. | |||
*The number of settlers rose still further once the Trans-Aral Railway from Orenburg to Tashkent was completed in 1906. A specially created Migration Department in St. Petersburg '''oversaw and encouraged the migration to expand Russian influence in the area'''. During the 19th century, about 400,000 Russians immigrated to Kazakhstan, and about one million '''Slavs, Germans, Jews, and others''' immigrated to the region during the first third of the 20th century. | |||
*In 1936, the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (whose territory by then corresponded to that of modern Kazakhstan) was made the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. The republic was one of the destinations for '''exiled and convicted persons''', as well as for '''mass resettlements, or deportations by the USSR''', such as approximately 400,000 '''Volga Germans''', and then later the '''Greeks and Crimean Tatars'''. | |||
*Deportees and prisoners were interned in some of the '''biggest Soviet labour camps (the Gulag)''', including '''ALZhIR camp outside Astana''', which was reserved for the wives of men considered "enemies of the people".<ref>"Kazakhstan", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakhstan, accessed 23 July 2023.</ref> | |||
