Alash Journalism and Publicism in Kazakhstan: Democratic Ways to Solve the Land Problem
Аннотации
This article analyzes the journalism of Alash figures and provides an assessment of
democratic principles. The history of Kazakh independent journalism is closely concerned with the
publications of Alash intellectuals. In the eighties of the XIX century, the Russian Empire began active
colonization of the Kazakh lands. Alash intelligentsia could resist the colonial policy by using journalism
and publicism as an effective tool of the civil society.
The articles of Alash activists are striking examples of a democratic approach to solving the land
problem. Based on the written works of the Alash publicists and journalists, we can see excellent examples
of influence on the public consciousness that generate public opinion.
