Development of virgin and fallow lands in Kazakhstan has highlighted a number of problems in the economy of the republic. Introduction of huge territories into land turnover in extreme conditions required search and creation of irrigation system in the North-Kazakhstan region. Authors note that in the North-Kazakhstan region, having difficult natural-climatic conditions caused by sharply continental climate, there was a deficit of fresh artesian water. Therefore, one of the main directions of agrarian policy in the North-Kazakhstan region was to increase the efficiency of irrigated land use, liman irrigation, water supply to settlements, watering of the territory and qualitative improvement of irrigation and reclamation works. The authors conclude that despite the measures taken, the established irrigation systems did not meet the needs of agriculture and the population of the region.

The article addresses political socialization as a theoretical problem caused by the need for developing research and coordinating positions on key issues in this area. At the level of definitions of concepts related to the theory of political socializa-tion, shortcomings and contradictions in this field of scientific knowledge are re-vealed. Political socialization is a spontaneous process. However, this objective social pro-cess has its own content, mechanisms, results, sustainability and its own internal structure, orderliness, i.e. it completely falls under the concept of a system. Any state takes a set of actions that can keep the parameters of the system of po-litical socialization within certain limits, or in other words, carries out directed de-velopment. The article analyzes the directed part of the political socialization of the Kazakh youth. The main tools and mechanisms of political influence on young people, the process of forming political values, and the main agents of influence on the politi-cal consciousness of young students are identified.

This article deals with the organization of dermatovenereological services for the population in 1962–1963 in the Tselinny kray. The authors analyze the complex of reasons that led to the weak development of this area of medicine in the northern regions of Kazakhstan. The measures of regional and local executive authorities for the development of medical services for the population are considered. A sharp increase in the population of virgin lands put on the agenda the issues of accelerated development of medical services, the construction of dispensaries, hospitals and clinics. The authors emphasize that the fight against the growth of dermatovenereological diseases caused by the beginning of mass migration of people to the development of virgin and fallow lands became an important area of health development. The authors conclude that notable successes in the development of the dermatovenereological service in the region, however, did not fully solve the emerging problems of disease prevention and treatment, which in turn led to the periodicity of updating this issue.
