The article examines the structure and composition of creative unions in Kazakhstan in the post-war years. In the post-war period, creative unions of writers, artists, architects and composers continued to function in the country. These unions were created in the 1930s, that is, before the great Patriotic war. In 1957–1958, the Union of journalists and cinematographers was additionally created, so the number of creative unions in the Republic reached six. The quantitative and qualitative composition of Creative Unions in Kazakhstan grew rather slowly. The reason for this was the constant lack of professional staff, and secondly, representatives of traditional Kazakh art were excluded from the activities of creative Unions, for the simple reason that they were not professionals by Soviet standards. In Soviet times, poets-improvisers, representatives of oral literature, masters of applied arts, melodists-composers were not recognized as professionals.
