Under the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan experienced significant demographic changes characterized by a large influx of ethnic Russians and other Slavic groups, which altered the ethnic composition of the population. This migration was part of broader Soviet policies that encouraged the resettlement of workers and the development of industry and agriculture in the region.
