 In Kazakhstan each year on May 31 there is marked the most tragic event in the history of Kazakhstan – the Day of memory of victims of the political repressions which led to the death of the millions of people.

The total repressions, terror, deportations were the inseparable part of the Soviet system. It was demonstrated in the 1930-ss. There were not only the repressions and the labour camps, death sentences but also the social experiments that led to the deaths of millions of people. On December 30 in 1996 the President of Kazakhstan signed the Decree about the announcement of “The year 1997 of national agreement and the year of memory of the victims of the repressions and persecutions”. There in the document the events start from the year 1916 to the victims of the year 1986.

During the years of the repressions there in the camps of Kazakhstan passed more than 5 mln. people. There between the years 1920-1953 only in Kazakhstan were convicted more than 100 hundred thousand people, 25 thousand people were sentenced to death. There for the Kazakh people the total repressions were a difficult period.

There for all the groups of the people in the Soviet Union the representatives of all the nationalities became the victims. Among them there were: Turar Ryskulov, Nygmet Nurmakov, Sultanbek Khodzhanov, Uzakbai Kulymbetov, Oraz Zhandosov, Abilkaiyr Dosov, Smagul Sadvakasov, Temirbek Zhurgenov, Alikhan Bokeikhanov, Saken Seifullin, Iliyas Zhansugirov, Beimbet Mailin, Kudaibergen Zhubanov, Sanzhar Asfendiyarov and others.
