【 摘 要 】

The article, using archive data, highlights the economic development of Central Kazakhstan in 1930s of the XX century, describes preparatory work on region development, cites party and government regulations on region transition to the place of “grand socialist construction”. The work reads that the scale of industrial development demanded additional labor forces. Forced labor of hundreds of thousands of people: forced migrants, displaced peoples, prisoners of Corrective Labor Camps GULAG has become the basis for republic labor capacity in terms of totalitarian system. The author comes to the conclusion that Central Kazakhstan is the perfect example of the epoch inconsistency. On the one hand, it became the place of “grand socialist construction”, region of cruel experiments on people and the place of the revived colonization policy and the development of natural resources, place of exile, penal servitude and imprisonment for hundreds of thousands of people in short period of time. On the other hand, powerful industrial capacity, gradually taking up advanced positions in the Soviet Union, was created and developed here.
