Question

• The Kazakh population in Kazakhstan remained largely unchanged.
• Kazakhs became a minority group in Kazakhstan.
• The Kazakh population grew as a proportion of Kazakhstan's total population.
• The Kazakh population declined during this period, but remained a majority.

Answer 1

The option that best describes the demographic changes that occurred in Kazakhstan under the Soviet Union is:

• Kazakhs became a minority group in Kazakhstan.

During the Soviet era, there were significant migrations of non-Kazakh populations into Kazakhstan, including Russians and other ethnic groups, which led to Kazakhs becoming a minority relative to the total population.
