Abstract
At the beginning of the twentieth century both Kazakhstan and Russian Turkestan (on the territory of which the Uzbek, the Kirghiz, the Tajik and the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republics of Central Asia have been set up) used to be rather backward colonial outskirts of the Russian Empire, feudal despotic states in a vassal dependence on tsarism. In political, economic and socio-cultural respects they were rather heterogeneous, yet they were united by the very low living standards of their more than 10 million inhabitants.1
