Abstract

This research paper delves into the experiences of women in western Kazakhstan during the Second World War and aims to shed light on their daily life and survival strategies amidst starvation and harsh living conditions. The study challenges the dominant Marxist-Leninist worldview of the Soviet era, which emphasized heroism and victories while ignoring the difficulties and hardships faced by the population. Through a historical approach and thematic analysis of primary and secondary sources, the paper highlights the significant role played by women in the war effort and provides new insights into the impact of war on women's lives. The findings underscore the need for further research on the experiences of women during the war and recognition of those who suffered on the home front. Overall, this research paper offers a valuable contribution to the historiography of the Second World War and brings attention to the often overlooked experiences of women in western Kazakhstan.
