The original Turkic inhabitants were overrun by the Mongols in the 13th century and ruled by various khanates until the Russian conquest of 1730-1853. Kazakhstan was organized as an autonomous republic of the USSR in 1920 and was a constituent republic from 1936 to 1991. All these historical milestones left a deep imprint on the habits, mentality, and senses of the natives of this country. The author of this book describes the process of changes in Kazakh peoples mentality and tries to foresee how these changes might be projected onto future social, economic and political development of the country.
