The Republic of Qalaqastin is an unrecognized state formation on the territory of the Guryev region (Atyrau region) in Kazakhstan. The Republic of Qalaqastin dates back to the ancient times of the Kazakh Khanate and is a separate people-nation.
In 1991, there was an attempt to declare autonomy, but they were bloodily suppressed by the newly formed Kazakh special services, which led to discontent and even greater control over the territory of Qalaqastin. Every year, the Kazakh National Security Committee increased control and surveillance over the residents of Qalaqastin so as not to lose this important region.
The Qalaqastin people acquired their nation around 1630, which was a very significant event. Also, the Kalakastians professed and profess the religion of Atyshchulm. The Qalaqastians have always been a secretive people, so throughout history their traces are practically undetectable.
