Kenesary Qasymov, or Kenesary Qasymuly, Kenesary Khan (Kazakh: Кенесары Қасымұлы, romanized: Kenesary Qasymūly) was the last khan of the Kazakh Khanate, grandson of Ablai Khan, from the clan of Genghisid-Tore.[1]
In modern Kazakhstan, he is revered at the state level as the leader of the National Liberation Movement of the Kazakhs in 1837–1847 for Independence from the Russian Empire. In Soviet historiography, Kenesary was characterized as the leader of the reactionary feudal-monarchist movement aimed at separating Kazakhstan from Russia.[2]
