The Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries was a vast state in terms of territory and multinational in terms of population, which imposed certain features on the processes of administrative management. The key figures in the management system were the governors of regions and provinces, who, on the one hand, were direct representatives of the supreme power at the local level, on the other hand, they, heading the local government, took on the role of an administrator to resolve pressing issues. The article attempts to analyze the views of the regional governors of the Turgai region on the management of the Kazakh population. The authors used documents from the archives of Russia and Kazakhstan. The materials of the governors reports became the main historical source. The adaptive practices of local authorities of the Turgai region on the management of Kazakh nomadic volosts are studied taking into account such current methodological areas of focus as new social history, new imperial history. The authors analyzed the views and proposals of regional governors to understand the mechanisms for implementing the administrative policy of the Russian Empire in the national outskirts, in particular on the territory of the Turgai region in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. The authors conclude that the Turgai regional governors were fully aware of most of the shortcomings in the management of the region associated with local characteristics, covered them in their reports and made efforts to solve these problems.
