Today, on the path of national renewal and the lasting establishment of independence of the Kazakh people, on the path of creating a “new Kazakhstan”, the importance of restoring historical realities and making up for some of the shortcomings of our history is increasing. One of the disadvantages was that in the 19th century. The tsarist government carried out its work with the goal of conquering the Kazakh people, relying, on the one hand, on the armed forces, the colonial apparatus, and on the other, on the feudal ruling groups of the Kazakh shonjars. The problem of
developing the management system in Kazakhstan as part of the Russian Empire is relevant in domestic historical science. The relevance of this problem is due to the growing interest in the study of traditional institutions of power. Reforms in the second half of the 19th century changed the mechanisms of government of nomadic communities.
This article will study the role of volosts in the administrative structure of Aktobe district after the reforms of the tsarist government and their significance. Based on previously unpublished archival documents, the article examines the specific case of the indigenous population of the steppe regions of the Russian Empire in the implementation of the administrative reform of 1868 in the Kazakh steppe. The research work presents a list of volosts of the Aktobe district for 1881-1883, 1884, 1899 based on archival documents.
