Abstract

The October Revolution of 1917 was one of the most significant and momentous events in the history of the 20th century, leading to the collapse of the Russian Empire and the creation of the first socialist state in the world. This event not only changed the political landscape of Russia, but also had a profound impact on international politics, inspiring subsequent revolutions and independence movements around the world. However, one of the most complex problem the Bolsheviks faced after seizing power was the problem of national autonomy for the numerous ethnic groups that inhabited the vast territories of the former empire. While researching the topic, there are several important questions that can be considered for deeper understanding and analysis. For example: 1. What were the main causes of the national problem in Kazakhstan before and after the October Revolution? 2. What were the Bolshevik principles regarding national autonomy? 3. How did the national policy of the Bolsheviks influence the subsequent development of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet states? Based on these questions it will help to deepen understanding of a complex and multidimensional topic, and contribute to a more comprehensive analysis of Bolshevik principles and their practical application in the context of national autonomy.
