Asylbekov Abdolla

Asylbekov Abdolla Abdirahmanuly (1896-1937) - public and statesman, one of the first Kazakh-Soviet publicists.

He was born in Nura district of Karaganda region. He entered the madrasah opened in the village and graduated in 1913. In order to continue his studies, seventeen-year-old Abdullah hired a merchant and drove his horse to Orinbor. There, he enters a madrasa named after Husayn. However, Abdolla, who studied here for only four or five months, was expelled from the madrasa "for inciting and organizing Kazakh Tatar youth against religion and the tsarist government." Abdolla came to Kyzylzhar in 1914 and studied at the Kazakh school where teachers were trained. However, he was expelled from the school because he could not provide a guarantee of "political reliability" within the stipulated three-month period. In the end, he came to his country and got a job as a teacher in a village school near Nura. After the end of the February revolution, A. Asylbekov dedicated himself to the cause of the revolution forever. Not long after that, in May 1917, the young man, who was just over twenty years old, joined the ranks of the Bolsheviks and firmly connected his future fate with his country. The author's short stories "Our day was born" and "October day" were published. In 1930, the book "Sovietization of the Village" ("Za sovetizatuyu aula") was published separately in two languages. His articles and essays were published in the newspapers "Tirchyk", "Enbekshi Kazakh", "Sovetskaya steppe" and "Kyzyl Kazakhstan" magazine. After the February revolution, A. Asylbekov together with S. Seifullin established the Soviet government in Akmola and organized the publication of the newspaper "Tirchikh". He was captured by Kolchak's army and suffered in "Annekov's torture wagon".

During the Civil War, he was a regimental commissar of the Primorsky Army in the Far East. In 1921, he returned to Kazakhstan and worked in the Akmola gubernia party committee. In 1922-1925, he served as the second secretary of the Kazakh regional committee of the RK (b) P and the head of the education department. In 1926, he entered the Timiryazev Academy of Agriculture, after graduating from it he became the chief employee of the People's Commissariat of Agriculture, the chairman of the Kostanay district executive committee, the secretary of the Kazakh UAC, the chairman of the executive committees of the Karkaraly district and Karaganda regional councils, the people's commissar of light industry of the Kazakh SSR, the people's commissar of social agriculture. An open court was organized in Karaganda following the example of Moscow, with the intention of exposing prominent Kazakh leaders such as S. Seifullin, N. Nurmakov, U. Kulymbetov, Zh. Saduakasov, "in order to confess that they tried to overthrow the Soviet government in Kazakhstan and were in close contact with foreign spies, Trotsky, Bukharin groups." So, in the first phase of political persecution, the public figure was caught under the label of "enemy of the people" and sentenced to death. It was justified in 1958 after the consequences of Stalinism were exposed.

On April 30, 1991, the village "Kundyzdy" of Karaganda region was named.

The street named after Abdulla Asylbekov was given its name in 1974. The street is 634 meters long and is located in the Turksib District of Almaty city.
