Abstract

The results of the elections to the 1st and 2nd State Duma and the election campaigns showed the interest of the population of the Steppe Territory in democratic changes. This led to the fact that even with curtailed voting rights and obstacles posed by the administration, the majority elected to the 1st and 2nd Dumas persons who enjoyed authority among the population and advocated transformations in the socio-political system of tsarist Russia. The article describes the election campaigns, which were indicators of the social activity of the inhabitants of the Steppe region. The authors show that during the elections to the 1st and 2nd State Dumas, the progressive Kazakh democratic intelligentsia, which called for the use of the Duma to protect the rights of nomads, intensified its activities.
