Russian Kazakh Steppe

Russian Kazakh Steppe was a colony in Kazakh steppe and Semirechye (Central and North Asia) that lasted from 1822 to 1917 CE, about 95 years. Its people spoke Slavic languages (Russian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian).

Russia abolished the khans' authority in the Middle Zhuz in 1822 and ruled the steppe through forts and governors. Peasant settlers took the best pastures after 1890, a cause of the great revolt of 1916.
