The government approved construction of the Turkestan-Siberian railway, designed to connect Central Asia with Siberian grain and industrial centers. The railway promised mobility and economic integration, but also made the region more legible to central planners and facilitated resource movement. Construction relied on recruited labor and reshaped communities along the route.
