The publication of 12 volume editions of Mustafa Shokay, not previously published in his
homeland, in our opinion, will greatly enrich the history of economic thought and the economic history of
Kazakhstan.
In his socio-political activities and analytical researches, he, one of the founders of the Alash
movement and the leader of the Kazakh opposition to Soviet power outside the USSR, paid considerable
attention to the socio-economic processes that took place in that period in the Soviet Union as a whole, and
in Kazakhstan and republics of Central Asia in particular.
The co-operation conducted by the Soviet authorities in the 1920s and 30s of the last century was an
important lever in the construction of a socialist social system. This article discusses the views of Mustafa
Shokay on this process, conducted by the dictatorship of the proletariat. The analysis of his published works
on this problem, especially in Kazakhstan and the Turkestan region, testifies his significant contribution
to the theory and practice of the cooperative process, as well as how he painfully perceived the tragic
consequences of the ongoing Soviet cooperation and revealed its negative sides.
