Abstract
The article discusses the councils of elders (aksakals) among the Kazakh of Russia, which have been increasingly reestablished since the mid-1990s. These councils have absorbed both the experience of public self-organization and the practices of Soviet public organizations. The authors examine the composition of present-day councils of aksakals, the scope and mechanisms of their activities, and their relationships with the authorities. The publication draws on data gathered in the course of field research among the Kazakh of Russia.
