The Kazakhs begin to resist Russian control…
1840 CE to 1851 CE
The Kazakhs begin to resist Russian control almost as soon as it becomes complete.
The first mass uprising is led by a Kazakh chieftain by the name of Kenisary Kasimov of the Middle Horde, whose followers fight the Russians between 1836 and 1847.
Kasimov is today considered a Kazakh national hero.
