The article presents a thorough analysis of the host of Kyrgyzstan in the Russian Empire and under the rule of the Bolsheviks. The tsarist authorities in the administrative arrangement of the Central Asia are analyzed. The revolt of 1916 in Kyrgyzstan confirmed the crisis of tsarist power and the desire of the Kyrgyz to radical transformations. In such a catastrophic situation during and after the uprising the Kyrgyz ethnic group faced with the threat of extinction. The October revolution and the coming of Bolsheviks to power created all conditions for consolidation of the Kyrgyz ethnic group. Socialist ideology filled in the existential vacuum of the peoples of Turkestan in the period of absolute monarchy in the Russian Empire. The Councils created in Turkestan harmonious environment for subsequent national-territorial demarcation and nation-building for all people who lived there. In Kyrgyzstan the attitude to the Soviets during the period of establishment of the Soviet power in Turkestan was not well-defined. In Northern regions this process was less intense, whereas in southern areas it was much stalled because of destructive forces in the face of counter-revolutionaries and foreign agents. However going through all of the constituent phases from an Autonomous region to the Federal part, the Kyrgyz Autonomous Soviet socialist Republic was formed on February 1, 1926. Joint efforts of Kyrgyz and the Soviet government started the process of liquidation of economic backwardness and organized the development of cultural and educational activities. On the basis of the analysis of the policy of the tsarist authorities and the Soviet regime against the Kyrgyz people there concluded that the Soviet government had played a positive historical role for Kyrgyzstan.
