THE NATIONAL IDEA ADOPTED BY ALASH INTELLECTUALS – THE FIRST CONCEPTUAL IDEOLOGY OF INDEPENDENT KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of the connection of the
National state Idea, which was adhered to by the Alash intelligentsia, with the
current ideological direction of Kazakhstan. The topic has not yet lost its  relevance, although it has been taken as the object of several studies. Today's
development strategies of the Republic of Kazakhstan require a reminder of the
idea of Alashorda, formed by the government at the beginning of the XX century.
The work highlights the activities of representatives of the Alash movement in
the formation of national statehood and the role in the modernization of national
ideology. An expert examination of the idea of creating a democratic state on the
example of Japan was carried out. The research is based on the research of
historians and politicians about the Alash intelligentsia.
