Abstract

Abstract. In this thesis-style article, the author examines the background of political repressions in Kazakhstan, emphasizing that the confrontation between two incompatible ideologies – Bolshevism and Alashism – during the reform of Kazakh societal life gave a specific character to political repressions.

Additionally, the article reveals new facts about Hasan Akayuly’s active participation in drafting the Karkaralinsk petition. The author emphasizes that throughout his life, Hasan Akayuly considered it a vital task to show Kazakhs a new and beneficial model for managing the economy. In this article, the author plans to explore Hasan Akayuly’s activities in the context of the modern energy system.
