In the XIXth and XXth centuries, the formation of the Romanian diaspora took place on the territory of Kazakhstan. It is an example of successful adaptation of a certain ethnic group representatives in a foreign cultural environment. The purpose of the research is to study the peculiarities of the process of adaptation of the Romanians in Kazakhstan in the pre-revolutionary era, in the early years of the Soviet power, during the period of deportation during and after World War II. The objective was to study the climatic, economic, domestic, socio-cultural adaptation of the Romanians in Kazakhstan during the above-mentioned periods of history. The principles of historicism, scientific objectivity, systematicity and comprehensiveness are the theoretical and methodological foundations of the research. In the study there have been used general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special historical methods (comparative historical and bibliometric). The scientific novelty consists in the study of the process of adaptation of the Romanians in Kazakhstan after forced resettlement. The process of adaptation includes the construction of housing adapted to the natural and climatic conditions of Kazakhstan. Conclusions. The Romanian settlers became the founders of settlements in the Steppe region. Their participation in the economic life of Kazakhstan has been analyzed. One of the subjects of the study is the relationship between the settlers and the Kazakh population. Despite the prevailing historical circumstances, the Romanians were able to adapt to local conditions and make a definite contribution to the socio-economic development of the region. It should be stated that the Romanian diaspora of Kazakhstan, having taken root, has shown an example of successful adaptation of an ethnic group in a foreign cultural environment.
