This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the principal forms and methods employed to engage rural workers in the socio-political life of the West Kazakhstan 9region during the period of 1933-1940. The research is situated within the context of the Soviet policy aimed at the socio-political reorganization of the countryside in the aftermath of collectivization. Based on archival and normative sources, it demonstrates that the socio-political activity of rural workers was strictly regulated by party-state structures and implemented in a planned manner. The article examines key mechanisms for involving rural workers in socio-political life, including the activities of village soviets, party and Komsomol organizations, professional and economic meetings, election campaigns, and political education work. The study argues that although the participation of rural workers was often formal, it evolved into a crucial mechanism for ensuring the stability of the Soviet political system. Notably, the election campaigns and the activities of public organizations following the 1936 USSR Constitution became primary instruments for integrating rural inhabitants into the power structures. The article undertakes a historical-analytical examination to reveal both the actual level of political participation and its inherent limitations within the context of the administrative-command system.
