Description

This book presents, in considerable detail, the responses received by the author to his four-volume work, "Abyraly, the Navel of Saryarka." The author's main goal is not self-praise, but to use these responses to introduce the public to statesmen, scholars, and figures of pride known throughout the Kazakh land in various fields, and to publish their biographies. You will become acquainted with the thoughts of renowned scholars and academicians Rabiga Syzdykova, Rymgali Nurgali, Seiit Kaskabasov, Kaidar Arystanbekov, Yerengaiyp Shaikhutdinov, Alshynbai Rakishev, People's Writer Azilkhan Nurshaikhov, People's Artist Kauken Kenzhetayev, and dozens of other major scholars. We see the value of these books in the fact that, by excavating the archives, they bring to the people riches that had lain gathering dust. Of particular interest are previously unknown facts about the history of 1851 and the accession to Russia of northern, eastern, southeastern and central Kazakhstan, starting from Kostanai. The book pays special attention to interesting facts, never before published anywhere, relating to Abai, Kunanbai, Alshynbai and the Shynybai family. It opened up many secrets long kept locked away in the case of Shakarim. Readers give heartfelt thanks for the material on the arduous routes of pilgrimage to Mecca, the Koyandy fair, the documents on petitions to the Tsar, the period of conscription of Kazakh soldiers in 1916, confiscation of property, the uprising of 1931, and the bloody events of 1937-1940. It is particularly noted that quite a few families, who did not know what kind of men their fathers had been, were overjoyed to find their photographs. Staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs gratefully note that the author brought to light the 10-volume (over 6,000-page) case file on the "Temirtau Uprising," which had lain unknown and gathering dust for more than 40 years, thereby proving the integrity of the then Minister of Internal Affairs, Kabylbayev Shyrabek. As a sign of the warm reception this book received from the Kazakh people, Semei's Shakarim University awarded the author the title of Honorary Professor. The book's presentation was held at the Abai Museum in Semei and the Mukhtar Auezov Museum in Almaty, attended by many renowned scholars, and photographs of the event are well represented. The book also contains very engaging photographs and accounts of the pride of our country - the veteran batyrs Kasym Kaisenov, Talgat Bigeldinov and Sagadat Nurmagambetov, and the nationally known Bizhamal Ramazanova and Azilkhan Nurshaikhov. It presents facts of life that not all Kazakhs are aware of.
