Modification of economy structure is an urgent condition of independent existence of Kazakhstan. Any unprejudiced person, and especially the expert will agree with the statement, that orientation toward the recovery of natural resources and their export without processing within the country is baneful for it from position of its development perspectives, satisfaction of long-term demands of its citizens.

It’s quite explainable, that foreign capital strives for unrestrained recovery of raw materials without taking into account the interests of the development of this or that country, including Kazakhstan. The reverse side of foreign investments without regulation and directing role of local authorities are always the absence of any signs of the interest in creation of complex production, diversification of the country economics, where foreign investors turn on only with the view of gaining maximal profit within as much as possible short period of time.

It is clear that during the first years of independent development the young state hasn’t dispose of funds, equipment, technique and technology required for all-round development of the economics.

But now, when in the latest messages of President N. Nazarbayev the problem is stated to form the diversified, competitive economies and realization of innovation-industrial policy, the government is to show the persistence in realization of planned social-economical tasks.

In a general context of state social policy demographic issue takes the special place. At that the state strives to affect the demographic processes with the view to solve different tasks of social-economical and political character.

Often the policy in the sphere of demography is not enough transparent, an official statistics is not enough available, and unfortunately, is not always reliable. Nevertheless, attentive observer or explorer even without possession of detailed data may outline the current situation sufficiently close to real situation.

In a whole, the issues of demography cover very different processes of reproduction, settling, interrelations of groups of country population according to national, language, sex-age and other features.

On considering the social-demographic situation in Kazahstan, and in Central Asia in a whole, we should proceed from the fact that Russian empire both in tsarist and soviet period regarded the given region, and Kazahstan, in particular, as the object of conquest and probably of complete assimilation.

Just by this we can explain that all years of stay of this region in the membership of the empire, Russia has been carrying out the policy directed on one-side development of its economy on the one hand, and to maximal colonization of this land with the emigrants from Russia, Ukraine and Byelorussia on the other.

In this connection, I’d like to draw your attention to the following moment in relation to the demographic situation in Kazakhstan after it declared its independence. Interested people talk often and many about the reduction of the number of Kazahstani citizens of Slavonic origin, often connecting this demographic event with their mass departure from Kazakhstan. And quite often hurl an acquisition directed against local authorities, the population and national policy, conducted by the state in general. But they miss the fact of common knowledge since the soviet years, which is the evidence of the fact that mass departure of Slavonic people and persons of European nationality in general from Kazakhstan began as earlier as 70s of the 20th century.

This departure was marked by specialists for population and migration processes on the territory of the former USSR and this fact itself is the result of delivery of million of people from the European part of the former Soviet Union during the reclamation of virgin and long-fallow lands in Kazakhstan and large-scale construction, launched in the republic those years. Thus, the beginning of flow-out of non-settled down migrating population should be referred to a time, long before the declaration of independence. Moreover we’d like to remind, that no less than 700 thousand people lived in Kazakhstan, working on secret objects in closed towns. With the collapse of the former USSR, they all left Kazakhstan, for they had any stable ties neither with local population nor with the state itself and were not going to live there forever.

But along with it they (700 thousand) appears in the number of 1 million 200 thousand people, left RK. And another moment, but not the last one, which should be taken into account, when we speak about the reduction of the number of Russians in Kazakhstan during the years of independence. It’s known that so called Soviet Union was by its form and contents the same Russian empire, renamed after the year 1917. Prior to collapse of the former USSR, Russians, their language and culture had a dominant position. And in those years masses of non-Russians, especially the Jews, Ukrainians and others, were often registered as Russians when receiving a passport. Also it’s not a secret for everybody, that children from mixed marriages were often registered as Russians too, even in the cases when only a mother was a Russian. Besides this, collapse of the Russian empire has led to reduction of Russian population not only in RK, but also on the total post-empire territory, including the Russian Federation itself. This phenomenon may be explained by the fact that many thousands, if not million of former Russians have returned to their native nationality, when they got a freedom of choosing at that issue.

And in this question it’s not late to correct the adopted directive for double language, which on the one hand proclaims the Kazakh language as state one, and on the other Russian — as the language of international communication. The question is natural: what will be the functions of state language, if the functions of international communication are given to another language. The situation could be called simply ridiculous, if it hadn’t been so absurd and sad with its consequences for citizens of our country. Indeed, what policy they should keep to and what orient to if the leadership itself can’t determine its position with the language of meetings of government, parliament, official meetings, public appearances, record keeping etc. After all it is pitiable to admit, that long-term unity and consolidation inside the country can’t be reached, unless all its citizens realize that they have to master state language. Let Russians in our country communicate between each other in their own language, kazakhs in their own, Poles in polish, but if gathered together, they must speak in state language. Just in this case state language together with a single national economy, culture will become the element uniting the country.

Consolidation and solidarity of citizens of various nationalities of Kazakhstan must take place based on mastering and knowledge of the language, customs and traditions, culture of Kazakh people-the state-forming people of the country. It doesn’t mater how many non-Frenchmen, non-Germans, non-Swedish, non-Englishmen, non-Russians would live in respective countries, they all integrate with the language, culture, and customs of dominating people.

And therefore all ten political parties of Kazakhstan, registered up today are planning in their programs the ways and means of solving of the most actual issues of economic and political development of the country.

Comparative and detailed analysis of programs of the parties of modern Kazakhstan tells in general of their uniformity. Political, economic and social problems are their main blocks. Not enough attention is paid to issues of legal and mental-cultural development. One could say, that positions on language structuring of the country are indefinable. In other words the programs of present parties don’t practically accentuate the attention to the most acute issues of humanitarian character.

If we generally consider the approaches of the parties RPP “Otan” “Ak-Zhol” and KPK to the internal political issues of the country, one might note, that they in this or that form declare the necessity of improvement of electoral legislation. The Party of Patriots of Kazakhstan stands for decentralization of power through introduction of an institute of self-government. “Otan” and “Civil Party of Kazakhstan” support the state policy of international accord. One might say, that “Auyl” and Agrarian Party accentuate on the issues of agrarian policy, and nearly remote from political problems.

Almost all parties advocate the leading role of the state in regulation of economics, simultaneously advocating its liberalization and diversification.

In social sphere, practically all parties advocate the ideas that are very popular among the people on general free education, improvement of medical services, growth of salaries and pensions etc. In other words, this sphere represents the wide field for populist statements and promises.

We should stop on the main direction of the program of “Asar” party. The program of this party places an emphasis on social sphere, the problems of education, youth and women.

According to the degree of importance and from the point of view of this party, political, economical, and internal political, mental-cultural and legal issues might be positioned in the order, in which they are enumerated.

Also the most important for internal and external-political situation of Kazakhstan would be a wide interaction and cooperation (and why not?) of all political parties acting nowadays. Examples of such cooperation appears now by now. Joint statements of different parties on “Law on Mass-media” the problem of corruption etc, is known to the society.

No doubt, that creation of interaction blocs and other forms of interparty cooperation bears in itself a lot of positive from the point of view of preservation and strengthening of stability and peace in the society.

Sustainable political development of Kazakhstan undoubtedly is the one of the basis of strengthening of its strategic place in the world.
