Amidst the upheavals of the First World War, a considerable number of prisoners of war from the Ottoman Empire found themselves in Russia, resettled primarily in the central regions of the Russian Empire. The regions of Volga, Siberia, Ural, and Western Siberia played host to Ottoman prisoners, who were accommodated in camps and barracks across cities and rural areas. Over time, a noteworthy migration led some prisoners to the territory of modern Kazakhstan, with cities like Samara, Orenburg, and Omsk serving as pivotal points before further dispersion into the central regions of Kazakhstan. As a result, Ottoman citizens found themselves under suspicion and were dispersed akin to prisoners. The Semirechye Oblast (Zhetisu region) emerged as a focal point where both Ottoman subjects and prisoners of war were dispersed during this tumultuous period. This article investigates the political and social dynamics, as well as the fate, of Turkish prisoners of war and citizens within the Semirechye Oblast during the war. The analysis delves into the status of Ottoman Empire subjects who acquiesced to the authority of the Russian Empire, offering insights into the lives of prisoners of war in this specific region.

第一次世界大战期间塞米列奇州的奥斯曼臣民和战俘

在第一次世界大战的动荡中，相当多的奥斯曼帝国战俘来到了俄罗斯，主要定居在俄罗斯帝国的中部地区。伏尔加河、西伯利亚、乌拉尔和西西伯利亚地区收容了奥斯曼囚犯，他们被安置在城市和农村地区的营地和军营中。随着时间的推移，一些值得注意的迁移将一些囚犯带到了现代哈萨克斯坦境内，其中萨马拉、奥伦堡和鄂木斯克等城市是进一步分散到哈萨克斯坦中部地区之前的关键点。结果，奥斯曼公民发现自己受到怀疑，并像囚犯一样被驱散。塞米列奇州（Zhetisu 地区）成为这一动荡时期奥斯曼帝国臣民和战俘分散的焦点。本文调查了战争期间塞米列奇州土耳其战俘和公民的政治和社会动态以及命运。该分析深入研究了默许俄罗斯帝国权威的奥斯曼帝国臣民的地位，为该特定地区战俘的生活提供了见解。
