The article tells about the mass struggle of the people in the 20th 30s of the XX century on the territory of modern Atyrau and Mangystau regions of Kazakhstan, directed against the violent policy of the Soviet government, known in the former historical literature as the "Adai Uprising", and its ruthless suppression by the Bolsheviks with unspeakable cruelty. The violent policy of the Soviet government after the Civil War led to an increase in discontent among the population of the Western Region, and the public came out to openly fight against the policy of the Soviet state. The purpose of this article is to tell about the mass participation of the population who lived at that time against the injustice of the Soviet government, which covered not only the Mangystau region of the Adai uprising but also, above all, the Kyzylkoginsky, Embinsky districts, Sagiz, Topyrakshashkan regions of the Atyrau region. As a result of the article, data related to the Adai uprising, previously unknown to historical science, were shown. After the October Revolution, the social status of the population living throughout the republic and on the territory of the modern Atyrau region was extremely low. The failure to take into account the laws of the natural development of the economy and the incessant administration made agriculture completely shaky and sharply aggravated the situation. This caused discontent among the population and led to an uprising.
