[1] The Romanian minority of Kazakhstan arrived to this country through several migration waves.
Some Romanians migrated to modern Kazakhstan after being promised lands by the Russian authorities, with some posteriorly returning while others staying.
The second wave occurred as a result of the Soviet deportations from Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, after which many Romanians were taken to Kazakhstan but also to other places like Siberia.
Two Romanian villages in the Aktobe Region have survived in Kazakhstan, Bessarabka (now known as Saryqobda) and Moldavanka.
