POLICY OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE ON THE CHRISTIANIZATION OF KAZAKHS: RESULTS (XIX – EARLY XX CENTURIES)

With the phased entry of Kazakhstan into the Russian Empire, life radically changed, both the Kazakh aristocracy and the common people. If representatives of the white bone - Genghisids were mainly deprived of the right to govern, then a significant part of the population eventually lost their rights to land. Some of the sultans were involved in the leadership of the lower stage of the administrative unit - the volost. For the entire period after the liquidation of the khan's power, not a single sultan was the head of the governor general or the region. The population category in question was sparse. It was easier for her to turn in her direction with various gifts, posts, promises.

To finally strengthen its position, the tsarist government needed to increase the number of its supporters among the indigenous population. Limiting yourself to the sultans and another secured category of Kazakhs devoted to the “tsar and Fatherland” was not enough. The colonial administration on the ground and the tsarist government in the capital worried the bulk of the population. It was quite difficult to constantly pacify her with the power of a weapon or keep her at bay. To some extent, religion could help solve this problem. Therefore, the Russian Orthodox Church and its ministers had to preach not only among the immigrants, but also attract non-believers - Kazakhs to the fold of their religion.

An unexpected side for the tsarist government was the facts of the fall from Orthodoxy of Russian Cossacks and peasants. The appearance of omusulmanized immigrants among yesterday's co-religionists caused concern and alarm to the civil and church administrations of the Russian Empire.
