Abstract
The Russian conquest provoked the emergence of an identity quest among the peoples of Central Asia, which was only accelerated during the Soviet period. The present paper aims at reconsidering the interaction between the Tsarist power and the Kazakh noblemen under Russian rule : far from fueling the islamic resistance as in other parts of Russian Turkestan, this cooperation largerly contributed to the consolidation of Kazakh proper and unique sense of national identity.
