SULTANS T. SEIDALIN AND SH. BUKEEV: TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS IN THE UPRISING OF 1869 Annotation The present study deals with the activities of the sultans in the context of the interaction between
regional authorities and local national elites on issues uprising 1869 in the Ural, Turgay areas of the
Orenburg region. The central problem investigated in the article is the behavior of the Kazakh sultans T.
Seidalin and Sh. Bokeev during these protest movements. Based on a broad empirical material, the
contradictions between the sultans in Kazakh society are considered: during this period, two different layers
were formed: one of them-supporters of the need for modernization for the development of society along the
path of progress (here through the Russian system of power), the other-representatives of the group who
were against Russian implementations, consider all "innovations" as a threat to traditional Kazakh society
and national identity.
The following facts supplement the history of officials who came out of the Kazakh sultans of the XIX
century, and indicate the continuity of the liberation movement of the Kazakh people against the colonial
policy of the Russian Empire. Through the prism of "the anthropology of power", the activity of the first
Kazakh sultans of enlightenment is analyzed. In the article, the author demonstrated the possibilities of the
new imperial history in the study of the post-colonial past, which also causes attention to the post-colonial
approach on the part of post-German researchers.
Keywords:the uprising, protest movement, Russian Empire, postcolonial discourse, colonization,
frontiers, postcolonial studies, co-optation, incorporation.
Введение. Современный Казахстан является частью постсоветского колониального
пространства и для построения национального государства безусловно нужен процесс
деколонизации, переосмысливание колониального прошлого. Способна ли казахстанская
наука объяснить текущее постколониальное состояние? Нужен анализ культурного наследия
колониализма, отказ от прежних тенденциозных подходов. Постколониальные исследования,
постмодернизм вот в таком ракурсе должна двигаться историческая наука в целом, в частности
отдельные
исследования
историков.
Особое
внимание
следует
уделить
изучению
«постколониального подхода» или «новой имперской истории», фронтирного дискурса,
методологическому потенциалу постколониальной парадигмы.
