Abstract

The article deals with the formation of German diasporas in East Kazakhstan in the middle of the twentieth century, their deportation and social situation, demographics, migration movement, and cultural development. Therefore the history of formation and development of diasporas in Kazakhstan is analysed from the point of view of today's requirements. After independence, it only became possible to study the true history of the Germans, among the significant diasporas in Kazakhstan. Also, special attention is paid to the influence of Soviet policy, the living conditions of Germans in special settlements and their contribution to the region's economy. The features of German adaptation to new conditions and the preservation of national identity are revealed. The study emphasizes the importance of studying the history of diasporas for interethnic harmony and understanding historical mistakes.

Although historians have worked on the diasporas in our country, there are almost no studies on the development of the German diasporas in the East Kazakhstan and Semipalatinsk regions.

The study of the reasons for the settlement of this European race in eastern Kazakhstan, their contribution to the development and prosperity of the region from a historical perspective, and an assessment from a new perspective occupies a special place in regional history.
