Abstract

The article examines some features of the socio-political situation in the Kokshetau region at the beginning of the 19th century. According to the Charter of 1822, the khan's authority in the Middle Zhuz was eliminated. The further transformation of the traditional institution of power took place gradually, when officials from other Kazakh clans, rather than representatives of the aristocratic "tore" family, began to be appointed to the posts of senior and volost sultans. The article includes a statement on the volosts included in the Kokshetau district dated May 8, 1824, which differs from other similar statements included in scientific circulation by an earlier date. This allows you to get information about the original administrative-territorial structure of the Kokshetau district. Those Kazakh families who refused to accept the new system had to migrate a certain distance from the outer district. The nomadic tribes, deprived of the best pastures, eventually had to return to their native nomads and became part of the district. Therefore, the statements of different times, for example, 1824 and 1857, have differences. In addition, the 1824 bulletin differs in the content of more detailed information.
