This article aims to investigate the issues of “standards and deviations” in the everyday life of the Baltic peoples who came to Kazakhstan for the development of virgin and fallow lands in the 1950s and 1960s. The authors attempted to trace the history of the appearance of the Baltic peoples on the territory of Kazakhstan, as well as issues of “standards and deviations” in everyday life during the years of virgin lands development. The study focuses on the fact that assistance from the Baltic republics to virgin land Kazakhstan with human and material resources has become the norm of the Soviet everyday life. The state and party organs imperatively implemented the standards of contribution and “behaviour” of the Soviet republics in the implementation of the virgin project, shaping various positive/negative socio-cultural everyday practices. According to the authors, the Soviet leadership created “deviations” in the form of protest sentiments, inter-ethnic conflicts and discontent of national minorities on a wide range of political and socio-economic issues through ideological principles.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the state of natural resources in the West Kazakhstan region during the 1990s to the early 2000s. The ecological condition of the region’s natural resources remains one of its most pressing issues, necessitating regular monitoring. Analysis of official data sources revealed that the socio-economic development of the region coincided with the establishment and operation of large industrial and construction enterprises, leading to adverse effects on the region’s natural environment. Monitoring of arable land in areas with dark chestnut soils indicated a continued loss of humus during this period. Presence of nitrates and high permanganate oxidizability suggested the presence of organic compounds linked to the decomposition of heptyl rocket fuel. Disease patterns indicated that populations in the southern areas of the region experienced high chemical burdens alongside radiation exposure. Furthermore, the article addresses concerns regarding the state of forest resources and wildlife, with authors highlighting a significant risk of natural resource contamination by industrial waste from heavy industries in the region.

The article discusses issues of forest preservation and environmental safety in Kazakhstan. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of forest cover across regions of Kazakhstan, revealing its low percentage in the Western regions and high in the eastern and southern regions. The article highlights both man-made and natural risks to the forest fund of Kazakhstan. The authors argue that fires, caused by both human activities and natural factors, pose a particular danger to Kazakhstan. Analysis indicates that the dynamics of fires have been intensifying since 2018, which naturally disrupts the structure of the area’s biocenosis. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made for the conservation of biological diversity.

The article draws attention to the relevant and poorly studied topic of ecological and sanitary condition of Akmolinsk city in 1958. Analysis of the documents shows that the city began to change in the environmental and sanitary condition under the influence of socio-economic modernization processes. The authors drew attention to the sanitary condition of the city as a set of criteria characterizing the practices of water supply and waste disposal, pollution of urban industrial enterprises, educational organizations and utilities. The authors concluded that Akmolinsk was characterized by problems of contamination of the urban territory and state enterprises, which had a significant impact on the environmental and sanitary culture of the city. The authors note the efforts of city authorities and health services to educate the population about the environment and to address issues related to creating a clean urban environment.

Authors consider the development of virgin and fallow lands in Kazakhstan in the 1950s–1960s which led to an unprecedented anthropogenic intrusion into the environment. The huge concentration of people in the northern steppe regions of Kazakhstan led to the spread of dangerous infectious diseases among which diphtheria was of particular concern of the health authorities of the republic. Authors made an attempt to analyze the issues of the spread of this disease in Tselinny district in the early 1960s and the history of its control in this article. The basic methods of medical services to prevent spreading of this infectious disease have been identified. The authors concluded that imperfect of medical service, violation of the regulations on vaccination and revaccination, inefficiency of medical and sanitary education of the population of virgin areas as well as other factors were the causes of diphtheria resistance against measures of sanitary and epidemiological services of the republic.

The article presents the results of historical and medical research showing the issues related to fighting against intestinal infectious and pulmonary diseases among Kazakhstani children during the development of virgin and fallow lands in the mid-1950s. The analysis of documents shows that the situation with infectious and pulmonary diseases among children was complex and characterized by a significant prevalence especially in the first year of life. Authors concluded that extensive sanitary and anti-epidemic measures at the national level, child care institutions supervision and the method of the Pirquet tuberculosis reaction had led to drop in childhood morbidity and mortality in some areas of the region. At the same time the analysis showed that the mortality rate among children in the first year of life in the region was higher than in the country as a whole. These data required further scientific and practical research by health authorities in terms of the study and practical application of medical-organizational mechanisms and measures.

The article deals with the medical care of children during World War II through the system of hospital and non-hospital care in Karaganda region. The struggle against epidemiological diseases has become one of the primary tasks of the doctors. Prevention of such diseases as measles, diphtheria, dysentery, whooping cough, etc. was carried out by vaccination, revaccination, strengthening of infant nutrition and other measures. Gastrointestinal diseases were also among the causes of infant mortality. The fight against gastrointestinal diseases was also an urgent task of the health authorities during the war years. Nurseries were a necessary measure of assistance to working women during the war. The nurseries were under the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat of Health. The authorities carefully monitored the health of Soviet children, and prevented the mass spread of infectious and gastrointestinal infections among children of Karaganda region.

This article deals with the organization of dermatovenereological services for the population in 1962–1963 in the Tselinny kray. The authors analyze the complex of reasons that led to the weak development of this area of medicine in the northern regions of Kazakhstan. The measures of regional and local executive authorities for the development of medical services for the population are considered. A sharp increase in the population of virgin lands put on the agenda the issues of accelerated development of medical services, the construction of dispensaries, hospitals and clinics. The authors emphasize that the fight against the growth of dermatovenereological diseases caused by the beginning of mass migration of people to the development of virgin and fallow lands became an important area of health development. The authors conclude that notable successes in the development of the dermatovenereological service in the region, however, did not fully solve the emerging problems of disease prevention and treatment, which in turn led to the periodicity of updating this issue.

The article discusses issues related to children's health care in the Kazakh SSR during World War II. Based on archival data the authors of the article concluded that the increase in child mortality in the early years of the war was due to the high incidence of infectious diseases such as whooping cough, diphtheria, dysentery, pneumonia, scarlet fever, measles, and others. The reasons were the shortage of the necessary number of medical institutions, their insufficient equipment and absence of qualified medical staff, untimely detection of diseases and late hospitalization, lack of quarantine boxes and certain percentage of unvaccinated children. Among other reasons there are low living standards of the population, poor sanitary conditions in some children's institutions, and nutritional problems of children. All this led to increased morbidity and mortality of children in the early period of the war.

The article notes that after the beginning of the process of developing virgin lands in Kazakhstan in the 1950s, the health authorities faced the question of creating a disinfection station in the city of Tselinograd. The problem in those years was acute, since sewage treatment plants were under construction in the virgin land city and often sewage water was pumped without treatment and discharged into the Taldy-Kul storage lake, located 12 km from the city. The high population density led to an annual increase in the number of infections. The ongoing and final disinfection measures carried out by the health authorities undoubtedly gave certain positive results. However, in infectious diseases hospitals, the regime of chamber disinfection was constantly violated, there were not enough staff, which together lowered the quality of the complex of special measures aimed at destroying pathogens of infectious diseases. The authors of the article came to the conclusion that the measures carried out by the health authorities could not meet the needs of the local and visiting population, and the insufficient organization of the sanitary service was one of the reasons for the high incidence of various infections among the population.

The article presents an analysis of the condition of children's healthcare in Molotov city during the Second World War. The authors pay attention to the significant difficulties in protecting the children's health (under one year old): a significant rise in the incidence of childhood infections, malnutrition, incomplete vaccination of children, and a weak level of preventive work. It is emphasized that among nursery and unorganized children respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases were mainly common during the war years: measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria. It is concluded that shortage of qualified medical staff, untimely and partial vaccinations, errors in diagnosis and other reasons have led to an increase in morbidity and mortality among children. In addition, the high incidence of infections with high mortality among children was also associated with the weak and unsatisfactory work of children's consultations on the early detection of diseases which hindered timely treatment.

This article examines the history of the Karaganda metallurgical plant construction. The authors emphasize that the issue of building large objects of heavy industry for the war effort became urgent during the Great Patriotic War. Due to the fact that Kazakhstan possessed large minerals reserves, in 1942 in the Karaganda region the People’s Commissariat of Ferrous Metallurgy of the USSR initiated the construction of a metallurgical plant for the production of iron, steel and rolled products. However, the start of the plant construction was delayed for several years. First of all, the delay was due to the fact that the plant site, construction base, railway tracks were not prepared for operation for a long time. In addition, the construction of the Atasu iron mine, which was the ore base of the plant, was carried out at a slow pace. Only in 1957, the project of the Karaganda Metallurgical Plant was approved by the Government of the USSR. The authors note that in 1958 the plant became an all-Union Komsomol construction site, in the construction of which seven specialized enterprises participated. The modern Karmetkombinat is one of the largest metallurgical and coal bases in the republic. At the same time, it gives rise to a complex of environmental problems in the region, the solution of which remains permanent.

This research presents a short historiographical review of the Alash movement. It reflects the researchers’ own version of periodisation of the history of the first Kazakh national party Alash that belonged to the liberal democratic wing. The researchers identify four stages in the history of the movement connected with the main landmarks of its short, yet significant existence. The periods of Alash history are determined based on changes in strategy and tactics, as well as the evolution of its organisational forms (a movement— a party during elections to the Constituent Assembly — the ruling party in the Alash Autonomy and Alash Orda government). A conclusion is made that national parties set forth the conditions and ways of modernisation in the most acceptable forms and combinations for each corresponding nation; possible parallels in the development pathways followed by other national parties in 1918–1920 are pointed out.
