Abstract

The paper deals with historical and legal issues of establishing statehood and territorial boundaries of the Russian State. The reasons of Russia’s extension to Kazakhstan are examined. In terms of territorialism the Russian State was formed for several centuries, meanwhile, it extended its boundaries mainly towards the south and the east. The joining of Kazakhstan to Russia was preceded by strong political ties between two nearest neighbours. The Decree on joining the Junior Zhuz to the Russian Empire was signed by Anna Ioanovna on February 19, 1731. In May, 1734 the chief secretary of the Senate I.K. Kirillov led the Orenburg expedition for consolidation of Russia’s positions in the newly accepted Kazakh lands. The acceptance of Kirgiz-Kaisak people into the Russian Federation in Russian course books is interpreted according to the existing conceptual approach of voluntariness.

Keywords
