History[]
Main article: History of Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic
Established on August 26, 1920, it was initially called Kirghiz ASSR (Kirghiz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic) and was a part of the Russian SFSR. On April 15–19, 1925, it was renamed Kazak ASSR (subsequently Kazakh ASSR) and on December 5, 1936 it was elevated to the status of a Union-level republic, Kazakh SSR. During the 1950s and 1960s Soviet citizens were urged to settle in the Virgin Lands of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. The influx of immigrants, mostly Russians, skewed the ethnic mixture and enabled non-Kazakhs to outnumber natives. As a result, the use of Kazakh language has declined but continue to be an important language. The other nationalities included Ukrainians, Germans, Jews, Belarusians, Koreans and others; Germans at the time of the Present Day formed about 8% of the population, the largest concentration of Germans in the entire Soviet Union.
