Abstract
The article describes the demographic impact of the peoples who moved to Kazakhstan during the years of development of virgin and fallow lands, one of the largest reforms under the Soviet regime. During this resettlement process, the number of diasporas in Kazakh lands increased dramatically, and the Kazakh people became a minority. This was especially evident in the northern regions of Kazakhstan, where virgin lands were built up. Over the years of developing virgin and fallow lands, Kazakhstan has moved from various industries to the forefront in the union republics. Also during the migration process there were visitors from other countries, except for the union republics. In particular, the Kazakhs who moved to China during the famine were given the opportunity to return to their homeland. Such an event, to a lesser extent, had a significant impact on the share of the Kazakh population in the demographic situation. This migration process was large-scale both territorially and ethnically. During the period in which the chronology of the virgin lands entered, the movement of peoples was also directed to an external channel. Chechens, Ingush, Karachays, Balkars, and others who were involuntarily deported to Kazakhstan during World War II. The peoples were able to return to their homeland.
