FROM THE HISTORY OF MOVEMENT IN THE FEDOROVSKY DISTRICT AT THE LATE OF THE XIX - BEGINNING OF THE XX CENTURIES

Abstract

This article reveals one of the important historical stages in the formation of the multiethnic
population of the present Fedorovsky district. The works of native scientists, historians, as well as archival
data and publications in the media of that period are analyzed. The process of resettlement of Ukrainian and
Russian peasants to the territory of the modern Fedorovsky district is described. Using reliable archival
material, the authors highlight the natural and climatic conditions of the Kustanai district, the use of the
territory characterized as «continuous feather grass steppe with excellent meadows» as pastures for
nomads not only of the entire region, but also for the Kyrgyz of the Syr-Darya and Ural regions. The article
notes that the allocation of land both for the county center and for resettlement settlements often met not
only dissatisfaction, but also open resistance from the local population. which gives, in our opinion, a fairly
objective picture of the settlement of Kustanai and the emergence of the first resettlement settlements.
Key words: Kustanay district, resettlement, settlement, settlement, local population.
