Additionally, published archival documents and official records related to repatriation processes were examined. A historiographical analysis of the scholarly literature was carried out, and dissertations on the topic defended in Kazakhstan were selected and studied. As a result, a comprehensive information database was created, incorporating new publications and valuable scientific data.
