The arrival of Russians and other Europeans in Kazakhstan and Central Asia made it heterogeneously populated area that created diversifications in their culture, social patterns, living standards and even in economic living. Religiously they got divided between Muslims and non-Muslims, politically as natives and non-natives, ethnically Turks and Slavs, thus making the region bi-polar. Sovietisation brought more Slavs to Kazakhstan either on account of punishments or apprehending their doubtfulness for Soviet cause (either in World War II or during Collectivisation) or else to allow them economic benefits
