REFLECTION OF SOCIAL CHANGES IN THE KAZAKH NOMADIC SOCIETY IN OFFICE DOCUMENTATION AND VISUAL SOURCES OF THE XIX CENTURY

In this article, through the analysis of office documentations (petitions, letters, reports of sultans-rulers, distant and local chiefs) and visual materials (portraits,artistic images), the process of social changes in the Kazakh nomadic society during the 19th century is considered. The social transformation of the Kazakh nomadic society began with the introduction of new administrative-territorial structures in the Steppe (district area, divisions, volosts, distances, auls) and, accordingly, new symbols of power appeared. In the first half of the XIX century the symbolic representation of the new system of power (the institution of senior sultans and sultan-rulers) wasthe spread of ranking order in the Steppe (assignment of a military or civil rank), the award system of the Russian Empire (medals, orders of St. Anna, St. Stanislav, St. Vladimir), the construction of a single uniform for officials -Kazakhs. The introduction of imperial standards and values in the Steppe contributed to the gradual inclusion of the Kazakh elite in this process and the emergence of new attributes of power in the Steppe.
