    Kurzfassung: This work reconstructs how the Soviet government used medicine and public health policy to transform the society, politics and culture of its outlying regions - Kazakhstan in particular. It is an archival and ethnographical research revealing the Soviets' colonial dominion of the Kazakhs.Rich in oil and stragegically located between Russian and China, Kazakhstan is one of the most economically and geopolitically important of the so-called Newly Independent States that emerged after the collapse of the USSR. Yet little is known in the West about its turbulent history under Soviet rule, particularly the ways that Soviet officials asserted colonial dominion over the Kazakhs and other ethnic minorities. This work reconstructs how the Soviet government used medicine and public health policty to transform the society, politics and culture of its outlying regions. On the surface, the Soviet drive to bring biomedicine to kazakh Central Asia seems altruistic. By combining colonial and postcolonial theory with intensive archival and ethnographic research however, Michaels reveals how Soviet authorities attempted to destroy traditional Kazakh culture. The author examines the technologies, medical personnel and public health initiatives intended to win the Kazakh people's gratitude and move the region toward what the Soviet state defined as civilization and political enlightenment. This work offers an in-depth exploration of this dramatic, bloody and transformative era in Kazakhstan's history.
