Abstract
Aim. To investigate the process of formation of the republican art collection in the second half of the 1930s, using the example of the T. G. Shevchenko Kazakh National Art Gallery.
Methodology. The methodological basis was the theory of modernization, which allows us to con sider the process of formation of the republican art collection in the 1930s as one of the ways the Soviet state transformed the socio-cultural space of Kazakhstan. Historical-genetic and historicalcomparative methods were used to implement the research objectives.
Results. As a result of studying a wide range of sources, it was revealed that due to the peculiarities of institutional management of the USSR art sphere in the 1930s, the mechanism for the formation of the art collection included in the use of All-Union and republican regulatory and financial resource, which made it possible to lay the foundations of the republican-level exposition in the Kazakh SSR by the end of the 1930s.
Research implications. The generalized material can be used for in-depth study of the cultural policy of the early Stalinism era in the USSR republics, as well as in the preparation of textbooks and lecture courses on the modern history of Kazakhstan
