<h3>Do you know anything about the soviet gov making nomads leave their herds and work in factories?</h3>
I can't find anything about it on the i-net. I'm also not the best googler so can you help me with this:
The nomadic herdsmen that were forced to leave their herds in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan and go to work in soviet government factories

<strong>Kazakhstan best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Naz F</i><br/>It wasn't so much forcing nomads to work in factories - forcing illiterate people to work in factories would be inneficcient and counterproductive - as in destroying their habitat and culture. The process was very similar to the American conquest of the nomadic native peoples (except no treaties would be signed), or the Chinese conquest of Tibet. Ethnic Russians would move into the area, exploit the resources, and work the factories. The nomads' habitat would be destroyed as the new immigrants fenced off the land into farms, or wrecked the land through strip-mining and other pollution-creating industries. If the nomads objected, their objections would be met by force; or they would be moved to more remote parts of the Soviet Union.</p>
