The 20th and 30s of the XX century are one of the most tragic periods in the history of Kazakhstan. This situation was caused by the country's grain production crisis, a decrease in arable land, and a campaign of collectivization.

By the will of the Stalinist administrative-command system of government, Kazakhstan was classified as a group of regions that, in addition to nomadic and semi-nomadic areas, should have completed the campaign of collectivization of agriculture mainly in the spring of 1932. During the implementation of the collectivization campaign, the government paid particular attention to the resettlement transition program. It was assumed that the resettlement of nomadic and semi–nomadic villages would change the country's economic structure and the specialization of zoning. However, these assumptions lay far from the actual reality.

The leadership of the region, headed by Sh.I.Goloshchekinwas carried out, accelerating the collectivization process, overlapping with the forced resettlement of Kazakhs and the "confiscation of kulaks" of wealthy peasants. Of course, these violent actions caused protests among the peasants, whose situation was aggravated and, in some places, led to uprisings.
