In 2021, in order to study the ethnic identity of Germans in the post-Soviet space, an expedition took place to the cities of Nur-Sultan and Almaty. Expert interviews were held with representatives of self-organization of the Germans in Kazakhstan. The fund’s specialists talked about how the main organization of ethnic Germans functions today, what areas of activity are relevant. The article presents the historical milestones of the organization, as well as presents the main mechanisms for preserving the identity of the Germans in Kazakhstan. The main attention in the article is paid to language work, as the most demanded among the Germans of the entire post-Soviet space.
