The purpose of the study is to analyze the multiculturalism of Kyrgyz society on the example of three ethnic communities of Kyrgyzstan, with an emphasis on their development and formation in the context of modern social and political changes in Central Asia. The study covers the key stages of the development of Kyrgyz, Tatars, and Koreans, including their interaction and adaptation in the context of globalization and urbanization. Special attention is paid to the issues of preserving ethnic identity and socio-cultural adaptation in various environments. An explanation of the term “multiculturalism” was given, its appearance and its importance for modern post-industrial society were investigated. The study examines the key periods of the three communities, their development and the prerequisites for their appearance in the region under study. In addition, the study covers the issues of socio-cultural adaptation of ethnic minorities in rural and urbanized environments and changes in their identity under the influence of globalization and modernization. The development of multiculturalism in Kyrgyz society depends on a combination of legal reforms and cultural initiatives that contribute to the preservation of ethnic identity and the integration of various communities. The results of the study show that the multicultural society of Kyrgyzstan was formed under the influence of complex historical, social, and political processes. Tatars and Koreans, despite forced resettlement and assimilation, have preserved their cultural traditions and ethnic identity. The Kyrgyz, in turn, have actively integrated into a multi-ethnic society, preserving elements of their culture.
