TRAINING OF PARTY PERSONNEL FOR THE KAZAKH ASSR: SOCIAL MOBILITY AND SOCIAL RESTRUCTURING (1920-1930s)

Abstract

The training of national cadres, primarily managerial ones, in party educational institutions was one of the most important areas of Soviet nation-building. The vertical social mobility of people from working-class backgrounds was a fundamental component of national and personnel policy, the root-and-branch policy, and the implementation of government policies aimed at class and ideological support for a new political, economic, and cultural order. The author shows the specifics of the organization of education, educational and educational process in educational institutions of the RCP(b)-VKP(b) in the Kazakh ASSR in the 1920s-1930s. The main focus is on the role of the Communist University of the Working People of the East (KUTV) in the education and upbringing of Kazakh communists and Komsomol members for government and management in Kazakhstan. For the first time, the identified personal characteristics and additional biographical information about some Kazakh students of KUTV, including those who have become prominent participants in the political and cultural life of the republic, are published.
