Summary/Abstract: In the 13th century, Kazakhstan became part of the Golden Horde State. With the disintegration of this state, Khans emerged. The struggle for existence in the Kazakh lands, which was under the threat of many states, especially the Mongols, began. The Cossacks who lived under these conditions were always exposed to invasion. Especially in the last century, the process that started with the divide-and-rule policy of the Russian Empire has evolved into another direction with the Soviets coming to power. The new regime initiated artificial starvation, collectivization and collective farms in the ancient Kazakh lands. Ultimately, there was a huge reduction in population potential. People of the Slavic race were settled in their place. In 1991 the Soviet Union dissolved. Kazakhstan, living under the administration of the USSR, declared its independence and made socio-economic breakthroughs. Nursultan Nazarbayev, who was elected the first President of the country, made a great contribution to the formation of modern Kazakhstan. Even at that time, he foresaw the disintegration of the Soviet Union and began to establish his national state. In this article, the secret construction activities of Nursultan Nazarbayev before the ancient history of Kazakhstan and the independence process will be discussed.
