Annotation: With the overthrow of Tsarist Russia and the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, radical changes occurred in the social and legal status of the Kazakh people, who lived in a somewhat isolated way, without changing their centuries-old traditions among Central Asian societies. The Bolshevik government had to takke many factors into account in order to implement an effective national policy on issues such as the Kazakhs' nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle, regional distribution, traditional social structure, the presence of a multinational population, and low literacy rates. This prompted them to seek specific forms and methods of work, from changing cultural and living conditions to creating women's departments that covered a wide range of areas, from women's political education, from their inclusion in the process of building a socialist society to the formation of new cadres of Soviet workers; from practical assistance to mothers and children to the transformation of the institutions of marriage and motherhood. In the 1920s, the state policy of the Bolsheviks to include women in the socio-political life of the country was discussed. At the same time, it was decided to establish “mobile tents” for nomads, which were later called Red yurts. In this study, the implementation of the policy of Red yurts in Kazakhstan in the conditions of nomadic life in the region is analyzed. The activities, tasks and nature of the Red yurts are analyzed and their role in the construction of a new socialist society in Kazakhstan is highlighted.
