Perestroika in Kazakhstan

Perestroika in Kazakhstan were the set of sweeping changes in the economic and political structures in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic as part of the broader perestroika movement in the Soviet Union initiated by General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev during the late 1980s. Ultimately, perestroika led to the loss of centralized control, an economic crisis, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and Kazakhstan’s path to independence.
