Description

This book presents in detail the feedback received by the author on the four-volume series "The Heart of Abyraly-Saryarka". The author's main purpose is not self-praise but, through these responses, to introduce the people to the pride of the whole Kazakh nation in various fields - statesmen and scholars - and to make their biographies public. You will become acquainted with the thoughts of renowned scholars and academicians Rabiga Syzdykova, Rymgali Nurgali, Seit Kaskabasov, Kaidar Arystanbekov, Yerengaiyp Shaikhutdinov, Alshynbai Rakhishev, People's Writer Azilkhan Nurshaikov, People's Artist Kauken Kenzhetayev, and dozens of other major scholars. The value of these books, we believe, lies in digging through the archives and offering the people the riches that lay buried under dust. Of particular interest are the previously unknown facts about the 1851 history of northern, eastern, south-eastern and central Kazakhstan - from Kostanai onward - and the data on accession to Russia. The book pays special attention to interesting, previously unpublished facts about Abai, Kunanbai, Alshynbai and the Shynybai family. It opened people's eyes to many secrets of Shakarim's formerly sealed case. Readers sincerely thank the author for the material on the difficult pilgrimage routes to Mecca, the Koyandy fair, the documents involved in writing petitions to the tsar, the 1916 conscription of soldiers from Kazakhstan, the confiscation of property, the 1931 uprising, and the bloody events of 1937-1940. There were also quite a few families who did not know what kind of people their fathers had been; it is worth noting especially how pleased they were to be given photographs of them. The staff of the Ministry note with particular gratitude that the 10-volume (more than 6,000-page) case file on the "Temirtau uprising", unknown to anyone for more than 40 years under a layer of dust, was brought to light, proving the integrity of the then Minister of Internal Affairs Kabylbayev Shyrabek. One sign of the warm reception this book received from the Kazakh people was that Shakarim University in Semey awarded the author the title of honorary professor. The book's launch was held at the Abai Museum in Semey and the Mukhtar Auezov Museum in Almaty, with the participation of many renowned scholars; photographs of the event are well presented. The book contains very engaging photographs and stories about the pride of our country - the veteran batyrs Kasym Kaisenov, Talgat Bigeldinov, Sagadat Nurmagambetov, the nationally known Bizhamal Ramazanova, and Azilkhan Nurshaikov. It presents facts of life that not all of the Kazakh people are aware of.
