Abstract

For three years, the State Commission for the Full Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repression has been studying the records of special archives in the regions of the Republic. During the consideration of cases on restriction of electoral rights, which were deferred in the West Kazakhstan Regional State Archive, documents on religious figures who were persecuted were identified. The author analyzes the fate of the Khazret-Ishaans, who took part in the socio-political events of the beginning of the XX century: at the Congress of Muslims of Russia, at the Kazakh congresses supporting the ideas of the Alash movement. The result of the research work of the members of the regional commission was the publication of a collection of documents «Senim Ushin Sergelden» («Suffering for Faith») about 1001 religious figure.
