HISTORIOGRAPHY OF ETHNO-CONFESSIONAL
PROCESSES IN KAZAKHSTAN 
 
Abstract. The article analyzes the principles of inter-religious and inter-cultural 
dialogue in the modern world. One way to solve religious and national conflicts in the 
world today is to promote human values and ideals in international relations. 
Currently, the issue of migrants and refugees in the countries of European alliance due 
to the geopolitical and geo-economic conflict of interest.
The methodological basis of the research is a set of theoretical principles and criteria 
put forward by historians and methodologists of modern science. One of the most 
important changes in the requirements for historiography works is the transition from 
simple bibliographic research to methodological analysis of historical facts, from the 
style of annotation to measuring the "methodological character" of historical 
literature.
Key words: religion, ethnos, Islam, religious administration, tolerance, interfaith 
dialogue
 
Introduction 
Relevance of the topic: the problem of the spread of Islam on the territory of 
Kazakhstan and the formation of the Kazakh Muslim tradition, which for many 
centuries could not become the subject of a full-fledged scientific study and was even 
subjected to serious falsification in many aspects, currently requires an objective

rethinking and comprehensive study. While not reproaching the merits of predecessors, 
paying tribute to the historiographical heritage of the past, above all to the works of 
orientalists of the 19th and 20th centuries, at the same time, we should state the need 
for a systematic approach and modern interpretations of a number of debatable issues. 
The solution of this scientific problem requires paradigms and methods developed 
both in the historical science itself and in related humanitarian areas. The thesis that 
the self-identification of an ethnic group should be considered the main criterion of 
belonging is of guiding importance in modern research. There is also a noticeable 
tendency to expand the source base due to more active involvement of traditional 
sources-samples of oral historiology, epic tradition, sacred pedigrees, etc. 
The methodological basis of the study is a set of theoretical principles and criteria 
put forward by historians and methodologists of modern science. One of the most 
important changes in the requirements for historiographic works is the transition from 
a simple bibliographic study to a methodological analysis of historical facts, from the 
style of annotation to the measurement of “the methodological nature” of historical 
literature.
