The city of Karakol was founded on the caravan route on July 1, 1869. Since its foundation, it has gradually expanded, becoming international in terms of the ethnic composition of the population.
The report will present the formation and development of commercial and industrial entrepreneurship of the city at the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century on the example of specific stories of individual famous trading families and their impact on the socio-economic and socio-cultural state, especially on the architectural heritage of the city of Karakol. Among the famous merchants were representatives of the tatar, kyrgyz, dungan, uzbek, and uighur populations. The shopping malls built on the initiative of merchants became the basis of the unique appearance of the city during the studied period. The combination of functional purpose and national decorative elements in the architecture of houses and religious temples contributed to the creation of interesting cultural objects representing the historical heritage of the city of Karakol.
The main sources were visual materials (photographs from archival collections, museums and private family collections) and information from oral histories of descendants of tatars, uighurs, uzbeks, dungans currently living in the city of Karakol. So, various ethnic groups (tatars, uighurs, uzbeks, dungans), being carriers of historical memory, in their stories reflect the ethnos' own idea of their historical past and ethnic identity through language, trade practices and stories about the development of family entrepreneurship, culture, customs, traditions, religion, etc.

Paper is to study the image of Kazakh deputations in coverage on the pages of periodicals of the second half of the 19th century and the creation of portraits of representatives of the Kazakh deputations in all the glory and honor of the imperial visual reward system.
Paper long abstract:
One of the scenarios of power in the empires was the practice of visiting the metropolis by the citizens. Reception with the emperor, watch a parade of the guards corps in uniforms with artillery guns, visits to Tsarskoye Selo, palaces, fountains, visits to the Hermitage, museum, library, theaters, etc. was one of the mechanisms of influence on the ideas of the Russian Empire by representatives of the Kazakh nomadic elite. Accordingly, Russian officials and orientalists recorded changes in the behavior of Kazakh nomad elite who visited St. Petersburg. Moreover, representatives of the Kazakh deputations were drawn into the cultural policy of the Empire to create a genre of portraits of the Kazakh elite. Based on this, the purpose of the paper is to study the image of Kazakh deputations in coverage on the pages of periodicals of the second half of the 19th century. (Sankt-Peterburgskie vedomosti, Turgayskaya Gazeta, Russian Bulletin, Journal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc.) and the creation of portraits of representatives of the Kazakh deputations in all the glory and honor of the imperial visual reward system.

In this report, the colonial history of Khujand and Ura-Tube will be considered through the prism of the theories cultural frontier
Paper long abstract:
The study of the colonial period never loses its relevance, especially in the modern interpretation within the framework of post-colonial theory.
Central Asia as part of Russia during the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries, which is referred to in historical literature as the "colonial period", is characterized by complex and contradictory processes in all spheres of life and everyday life of the peoples of Central Asia. Colonial rule seriously affected all aspects of life and everyday life, had a significant impact on their deformation. During the colonial period, one can observe the preservation of traditions and, to a certain extent, the initial tolerance, and then dichotomy and, in the end, the transformation of some institutions of society.
Today, in the study of the colonial period, researchers use different methods; for example, through the prism of the theory of the cultural frontier, through the using of visual material, we trace the modifications of life and culture of such historical cities as Khujand and Ura-Tube. In addition to historical information, we can also observe the social life of the indigenous population - the Tajiks who inhabited these cities. Along with this, one can also trace historical-geographical, economic and irrigation changes, for example, the main approaches to cities, the main citadel, the surrounding gardens and irrigation system, the modernization of cities or the appearance of parallel cities with the arrival of Russians.
Important sources, visual materials that show light on the history of colonial Khujand directly are the works of artists or photographers of that era. We are talking about sketches, drawings, photographs by A.L. Kuhn, D. Velezhev, V.V. Vereshchagin, M.I. Brodovsky and Hugo Kraft, whose masterpieces were included in the famous collection "Turkestan Album" (1871-1872) and served as a source for the report.
