Abstract
This study is a research on the situation of the industrial system in Kazakhstan in the year 1954. The young Soviet state pursued a policy of industrialization of the country, as the Government became aware that the Second World War was inevitable. Millions of people from the Soviet State have passed through this industrial system; the prisoners were used as free labour for industrial purposes. In this regard, the industrial centers were established in places where there were deposits of natural resources, but it experienced a shortage of workers. This is clearly demonstrated in the history of the industrial system of Kazakhstan, on the territory of KarLag, Steplag and others. The situation in Kengir, (of which at the present time, it is referred to as Zhezkazgan City), in the year 1954 was the beginning of the collapse of Steplag. The government closed Steplag, which had already warped thousands of lives, in the year 1957.
