The Euro-American, Kazakh and Russian studies naturally raised and are still raising the
question of the future Sovietology, Post-Sovietology and even Post-Post- Sovietology
caused by the USSR collapse and understanding the need to rethink the theoretical and
methodological foundations to study the New Independent States / CIS as a whole and in
the Central Asian region, in particular. Sovietology could not adequately reflect the
changed reality. The author demonstrates the consistency and inconsistency of sovietology
concerning the question about Kazakhstan history, as colonization, russification,
sovietization and etc. The socio-economic development of independent Kazakhstan
evaluated by foreign researchers was taken as an example in order to show traits of
Sovietology inherited earlier. Guided by the inequality of the world order and sovietology
experience, the objective and impartial theoretical and methodological basis to study CIS
space is required. Otherwise, methodological inconsistency of Sovietology and PostSovietology
in explanation and understanding of the political and socio-cultural processes
in the territory of CIS will be a natural phenomenon. The "special way" of study, neoinstitutional
approach, historical, comparative and pluralist approaches are offered on the
basis of international scholars' analysis.
