The Benefits of Marginality
Based on research in Kazakhstani and Russian archives, this article is a regional study of the 1931–1933 Soviet famine. It compares Soviet policies in the southern and northern “halves” of the Aral Sea region. While the Kazaks in the northern part of the region suffered from the famine, the Karakalpaks in the south did not. The article explains this difference by underscoring the role of the main transportation infrastructure connecting Central A…
Sarah Cameron. The Hungry Steppe
Based on exhaustive research in archives in Kazakhstan and Russia, Sarah Cameron’s The Hungry Steppe: Famine, Violence, and the Making of Soviet Kazakhstan and Robert Kindler’s Stalin’s Nomads: Power and Famine in Kazakhstan are the first—long overdue—English-language monographs on an event of world-historical importance. In the early twentieth century, the Kazakhs were the largest nomadic population inhabiting the grasslands of the Northern Hemi…
Illegal Markets and the Formation of a Central Asian Borderland
This article utilizes material from archives in Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan as well as published Chinese sources to explore the opium trade between Tsarist Turkestan and Xinjiang from the early 1880s to 1917. It focuses on two different levels: the borderlands economy and society, and state policies towards illegal (or 'grey') markets. The main groups active in the trade were Hui/Dungan and Taranchi migrants from China, who had…
Cossacks and Sturgeons
The article addresses the managing of Aral Sea fisheries by the Tsarist administration, and the making of a colonial frontier inhabited by exiled Ural Cossack, Qaraqalpaq, Qazaq, Russian, and Ukrainian fishermen. By comparing the different power relations between Cossacks and the local population on the Ural River and in the Aral Sea region, it shows how they shaped fisheries management regulations and their effectiveness. It also investigates th…

The dark side of connectedness
Through a re-reading of the historiography of the late Ottoman and Tsarist empires, this article repositions the extermination of Ottoman Armenians during the First World War into the connected history of the trans-imperial region around the Black Sea since the Crimean War. It argues that the connection between episodes of violence against civilians and forced migrations in the Pontic rim is essential to properly understand late-Ottoman extermina…
Ukraine and Kazakhstan
Anne Applebaum is one of the most prominent public intellectuals and opinion makers battling the on-going authoritarian and populist drive on both sides of the Atlantic. Her public commitment to denouncing Putin's authoritarian regime and its aggression against Ukraine is closely related to the pages of Red Famine , which tackles the most contentious historical event dividing the Russian and Ukrainian political classes
Stalinist spatial hierarchies
Based on research in Russian and Kazakhstani archives, this article investigates connections between policies of peasant colonization, the sedentarization of pastoral nomadic peoples, and the economic regionalization of the USSR. After analysing debates from the 1920s, and limited sedentarization among Kazakhs and Kyrgyz during collectivization, the article argues that only by focusing on the economic regionalization of Central Asia, which placed…

Towards a Transnational History of Great Leaps Forward in Pastoral Central Eurasia
The article places the great famine in Kazakhstan (1931-33) in the context of policies implemented by the Stalinist and Maoist governments towards Central Eurasian pastoral populations. After highlighting the factors that caused the famine in Ukraine, the article focuses on the specificities of the famine among the Kazakhs, and its regional distribution within Kazakhstan. It then analyses the role that the same factors could have played in other …

Islam, Society and States across the Qazaq Steppe (15th - Early 20th Centuries)
The present volume maps out new lines of inquiry into the social history of Central Eurasia from the early modern to the early Soviet period. Contributions to the volume focus on the region inhabited by Qazaq communities, at the centre of which we find the steppes of present-day Kazakhstan as well as areas now comprising parts of Xinjiang, Siberia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The papers assembled offer new insights on transnational forms of impe…
Kazakhstan
Bhavna DAVE, Kazakhstan: Ethnicity, Language and Power, London — New York : Routledge, 2007, 242 p. Bhavna Dave relies upon three different streams of scholarly enquiry (“the new Western historiography of the Soviet era, the postcolonial theory and the ethnographies of post-socialist transition,” p. 11) in order to analyze the evolution of Kazakh “national consciousness”, as embedded in pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet power relations.

Waqf in Turkestan
The paper investigates early Soviet policies regarding the institution of waqf (charitable endowment) in Turkestan, questioning the issue of the post-colonial character of the early Soviet administration. After taking into consideration practices related to waqf management in modern Muslim states and European colonial empires, the paper briefly describes the tsarist administrative approach to the issue. We then address the ambiguity inherent in S…
