To what extent and in what way did the Russian tsars control the Kazakh steppe between 1820 and 1890? During the policy the Kazakh khans of three Hordes took oaths and signed documents of their inclusion in the Kazakh steppe Empire. Although the documents were signed, both parties did not abide by them. In the early 19th century the Empire had no effective political power in the Kazakh steppe, and numerous anti-Russian rebellions support this claim. The document of “Ustav or Sibirskih Kirgizah, 1822” made it possible to gain control of the steppe by creating a system with a new “divide and conquer” approach. The new policy included the creation of "elites" with developed morals and literacy who relied on noble families, the so-called Chinggisids, and a new land administrative policy. Rebellions, the presence of a national identity, resistance to the settlement of nomads caused difficulties in establishing control in the steppe. However, even though there was some opposition from the nomads, the policy was very successful. The Russian Empire had control of the Kazakh steppe after the mid-19th century, when the steppe was officially divided into separate entities. The reorganization plan (1809) of Tsarist Russia did not take into account the differences between the central and peripheral parts. Imperial legislative law applied with restrictions and exceptions depending on the regions, but the general principle was the decentralization of Tsarist Russia by dividing it into several parts and the concentration of administrative units through the integration of central and regional agencies. Speranskii's “Ustav o Sibirskih Kirgizah, 1822” reform assigned administrative units and positions to create a new bureaucracy. When the office of khan was removed, the unity of the nomadic tribes was destabilized. So...... half of the sheet....... 1 (Jan. - Mar., 2003), pp. 5-33Levi, S. (1999).
