KH.DOSMUKHAMEDOV ABOUT THE ORAL HISTORY OF THE KAZAKHS

The article highlights one side of the huge scientific and educational work of an outstanding representative of the Kazakh national intelligentsia, one of the founders of the Alash movement, a statesman Khalel Dosmukhamedov, whose bright, full of struggle and suffering life for the bright future of his people coincided with the period of socialist reorganization and the establishment of Soviet power in Kazakhstan. Despite his services to the Soviet authorities in the speedy cultural modernization of the Kazakh society, he was repressed in the late 30s of the twentieth century. His research on oral history is still relevant and important for the development of Kazakh historiography. Kh.Dosmukhamedov was one of the first to draw the attention of researchers to the connection of epic and folklore with the daily life of the Kazakhs. Kazakh epic poems, such as «Kobylandy batyr», «Narikoglu Shora», «Alpamys batyr», «Kambar batyr», «Shora batyr», «Edige Murza» in 1922-1923, in the period work in the Kyrgyz * (Kazakh) scientific commission. Together with A. Divaev, the book «Anthology of samples of Kyrgyz (Kazakh) literature» («Хрестоматия из образцов киргизской (казахской) литературы») was written. Further development of the problem of the oral history of the Kazakhs was continued in his collections «Words of Murat-akyn», «Isatai-Makhambet» in 1924 and «The legend of the construction of the Kogeltash madrasah in Bukhara», published in Tashkent in 1927-1928 in which, in his opinion, fragments of the fivecentury history of the Kazakh people are reflected. He argues that, similar to the annals (historical stories) in European historiography, the Kazakh historical epic was formed as a special form of historical consciousness and knowledge in the nomadic Kazakh society.
