DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2021-3-4
This article examines one of the little-studied problems based on the documents of the archival funds of the central archives of Russia and Kazakhstan (RGASPI, GARF, TsAMO, AP RK): the participation of Kazakh women who left as volunteers mobilized in 1941–1945 on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. An overview of studies that studied the quantitative characteristics of the participation of girls and women of the Kazakh SSR is presented, various options are given on the gender aspects of the participation of Kazakhstanis in the war. Based on a comparative analysis of mobilization orders, certificates and reports on their implementation, the author concludes that the number of Kazakh women who went to the front amounted to more than 9.5 thousand people, which is almost twice as much as indicated in modern Kazakhstani historiography.
