Abstract

As a consequence of intentional extermination of Kazakhs by means of famine of
1932-1933, the population decreased from more than 7 million people to barely 2 million. Due to its scale
and characteristics this thoroughly planned action can only be referred to as ethnocide according to the
definition of the UN as a «policy of destruction of an ethnic or national identity, the self-awareness of a
people.»
The information brought forward by Alikhan Bukeikhan exposes the inveracity of the Soviet
statistics on population of the Kazakh people before and after the famine of 1932-1933 and reveals the
true extent of the national disaster of the Kazakh people, which reduced their population from 7.2 million
people to less than 2 million. This information possessed by the Kazakh national leader became available
only recently.
