Abstract

The article examines the situation of the Kazakh nomadic population of Akmola province during the famine of 1921–1923. Based on archival materials, it identifies the main survival strategies: migration in search of food, emergency consumption practices, and intra-communal support. It concludes that these measures only partially mitigated the effects of the crisis.
