| Additional information |
Abulkhair Khan ruled the Junior Zhuz of the Kazakh steppe in the early 18th century and made the controversial decision in 1731 to seek Russian imperial protection against Dzungar raids — a move that placed Kazakhstan on a trajectory toward eventual full annexation. His calculation was pragmatic: the Dzungar Khanate had inflicted catastrophic losses on the Kazakhs during the years known as Aktaban Shubryndy, the Great Retreat, which began around 1723. Whether he foresaw the long-term consequences of that petition to St. Petersburg is a question Kazakh historians still debate.
