Kazakhstan, a country in Central Asia, has not succeeded in securing a stable
population of Kazakhs, as a titular ethnic group. With a large Russian population,
there was tension within the society. It was only in 1999, after nearly two decades of
independence, that the Kazakh population made up the majority in Kazakhstan. Since
Kazakhs were Russianized during the Soviet era, they faced a number of problems in
responding to the integration of the government based on Kazakh centralism, even
though they are a titular ethnic group in post-independent Kazakhstan. Non-Kazakh
minority communities, such as Koryo Saram(Korean Diaspora in the former Soviet
Union), Germans, and Uyghurs, also face complicated factors in maintaining their
ethnic cultures and forming their identities, due to their relationships with their
historical homelands and international situations. Their response to Kazakhstan’s
integration has also been changing accordingly.
The purpose of this report is to examine aspects of multiethnic coexistence in
Kazakhstan in terms of both theory and reality, by focusing on minorities, including
the Koryo Saram in contemporary Kazakhstan. Specifically, the study adopts three
methods: First, it seeks theoretical support for multiracial coexistence in Kazakhstan.
Second, it examines the definition of diaspora and Korean diaspora according to the
Diaspora Studies. Third, it attempts to understand the relationship between the Koryo
Saram and the majority(Kazakhs), and the relationship between the Koryo Saram
