Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the principles of the Alash Party, the advocates of the national movement, and the background of the formation of Alash Orda, the Kazakh national independent government that was created in 1917. The Alash Party leaders saw Kazakhstan as an autonomous subject and attempted to reinforce its sovereign statehood, putting forward a politically and economically justified program to develop Kazakhstan‟s autonomy. But the party‟s ideas were not supported by the Bolsheviks, and it ceased to exist in 1920.
