For the first time in the country, a “scientific methodology for researching and evaluating the activities of historical figures” is being developed. This idea was put forward by scientists at a meeting to discuss the promising tasks of the Institute of State History. The need for such a methodology arose at the second meeting of the National Kurultai in Turkestan on the basis of the principles outlined in the priority of modernization of historical consciousness. This was announced by Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at the Fair Kazakhstan-Adal Azamat press conference in a speech entitled “there are figures of the Soviet era whose false biographies were deliberately written manually at the behest of some people. It is necessary to stop naming such artificial persons to various forms of manizd, and it is important to regulate all procedures in this area in practice. In addition to the specifics of the regions, it should also take into account national priorities.” Therefore, in the context of modern sustainable development, it is important to evaluate historical figures. When preparing this methodology, the Institute’s scientists will group it according to “local, regional and National” levels. Prior to that, 1992-2023. paying attention to the defended dissertations on historical science, 55 of the 772 dissertations relate to various periods devoted to socio-political activity, the legacy of individuals. Nevertheless, the restoration of the historical authenticity of personalities in the modern context, and an independent statement about the figures who contributed to the formation of Kazakhstan, involves the use of various sources of national patriotic value and self-motivation allows for expansion.
