Position Russian central and local administration of regulating migration of Kazakhs in South Siberia

In the middle of the XVIII century as a result of a complex of factors within and foreign policy issues began active migratory movement of Kazakhs in the territory of the Russian Empire. Central, and, above all, the Siberian authorities are faced with an acute problem - the problem of regulating migration of Kazakhs and the Russian lands. Especially sharply this question was in the Altai Mountain Office, which has taken a tough stance to prevent the Kazakhs in the district. The central Russian government, by contrast, was interested in attracting the Kazakhs, contributed to their relocation. The discrepancy in the positions of Russian central government and local administrations worsened in the first half of XIX century. Resolute Mining claims administration departments have led to a number of regulations that restrict the presence of the Kazakhs at the lands of the district: Decrees 1809, 1821, however, actual migratory movement of the Kazakhs increased while the measures taken were not consistent. An important role in the process of regulation of the Kazakhs in the Siberian lands occupied in 1822 the charter of "On the control of the Siberian inorodtsy". Directly related to the mining district were developed in the statute, "On the control of the Siberian inorodtsy" rule for the Kazakhs of internal and external constituencies. The introduction of this Decree was generally negative assessment of the mining district administration. Throughout the 30th and 40th XIX century administration of the Altai mining district has repeatedly appealed to the superior central and regional Russian authorities to take stronger action to evict the Kazakhs outside the district. Its position the board argued the presence of ethnic security threats, increased inter-ethnic conflicts, caused primarily inflicted damage to farms. Siberian authorities maintained a moderate position in this matter. Not wanting to interfere with the Cabinet, the Siberian administration, which was not profitable for the eviction of the Kazakhs of the Altai mining district boundaries, as this would lead to an aggravation of relations in East Kazakhstan, virtually ignored his requests and instructions. The central government has sought to consolidate the status quo. Thus, until the middle of the XIX century authorities at various levels have not been able to develop a common position in relation to the migration of Kazakhs in Altai mining district boundaries.
