Abstract. The most fundamental thing in the political heritage of A. Bukeikhanov is the idea of national-state self-determination; it was put forward by him and his associates, who devoted all their efforts to its implementation, proclaiming the state «Alash-Orda» in December 1917. The life, socio-political, as well as scientific activities of Alikhan Bukeikhanov – all this served the greatness of Kazakhstan. He embodied the moral and political choice of the people, which, largely thanks to him, was embodied in the normal, without political battles and bloody showdowns, path of development of the state of Kazakhstan. It is necessary to emphasize the extremely positive contribution of the Kazakh leader, which he made to the formation of independent statehood at the first most difficult stage of our new history.
The article, based on broad scientific and historical material, reveals both the biography and socio-political activities of a prominent public and government figure, scientist, talented publicist, as well as the leader and organizer of the national democratic party «Alash», head of the first Kazakh national government «Alashorda» - A. Bukekhanova. The activities of the Alash party, as is known, formed the fundamental basis for the state development of the Kazakh steppe, anticipating the future of independent Kazakhstan.
