Contribution to the study of Kazakhstan of Russian scientists

Russian scientists actively studying the flora, fauna, natural resources of Kazakhstan, as well as ethnology and history of the Kazakh people was a major cultural event in the life of Kazakh people.

In the XVIII and XIX centuries. major expeditions were organized to study the eastern and south-eastern regions of Russia, including Kazakhstan.

The study of the territory of Kazakhstan began mapping the Caspian and Aral seas, the details of which were available only in the writings of ancient Greek and Arab writers and geographers. These early data, supplemented by materials Russian geographers during the XVII century., Including card Remezov placed in the "Draft Book of Siberia", could not meet the needs of the developing science.

New data on the Caspian and Aral seas gave shooting Jeremiah Meyer (1703), maps made during the expedition Bekovich-Cherkassky (1715), taking pictures of the Caspian Sea, and made Kozhin Urusov (1718), and others. These works while largely confined to the study of the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, adjacent to the territory of Kazakhstan. Further research efforts have focused on the western and southern coasts to organize trade here and the navy, as Peter I was preparing to Persian campaign (1722). Subsequently, the study of the Caspian and Aral seas continues, details of which are replenished.

The famous scientist and explorer, naturalist academician Peter Simon Pallas (1741-1811), who spent '43 in Russia, led by one of the major missions of the Academy of Sciences, which was investigated by the forces of a vast territory from the Volga River to Lake Baikal and Chita. The expedition explored the natural resources and of the territory of Kazakhstan. Pallas helped the talented Russian scientists Zuev and Falcons.

From 1769 to 1774 traveled (with breaks) Johann George, who visited the South-East Russia, Altai, Baikal, Trans-Baikal, on the way back - the Ural mountains and the Volga region. In the monumental work of academician Georgi reflected not only the geography of Kazakhstan, but also everyday life, and the history of the Kazakh people. For about the same time and valuable information about Kazakhstan, collected Falk.

The study of the territory of Kazakhstan was not without the participation of the Kazakh people. The Kazakhs have provided all possible assistance to Russian travelers, accompanying them as guides and scientists, they talked about the history and life of the people, gave valuable geographic and topographic information. All these stories were recorded. The vast factual material collected on these stories, not only facilitates learning, but also enriched the science of the new data. Even this form of communication with the Kazakh Russian scientists broadened horizons of the Kazakh population, causing his interest in Russian culture.
