Semetey. The Childhood Years of Semetey. Part - 3

The Childhood Years of Semetey. Part - 3 The news that Semetey had returned in anger and was lying at the gates quickly reached the ears of Temir-khan and Ismail. Hearing this news, Temir-khan hurriedly ran to the place in fear. After slaughtering a calf, he began to persuade Semetey. But Semetey did not open his closed eyes and continued to lie still. Then Temir-khan and Ismail invited the mullahs, and they began to recite prayers for him, but Semetey still lay with his eyes closed.

The Tale of the Clever Old Man

THE WISE OLD MAN In ancient times, there lived a young khan. He observed his subjects and saw that everything was done by the young, while the old only ate what was prepared. And then the khan ordered: — Behead those who are over forty years old, and soon there was not a single person—man or woman—who was over forty. Only one young man, feeling sorry for his father, hid him in a chest. After the khan's order was carried out, he commanded to find and bring him black worms. Until his order

Kyrgyz Waqf of the 19th Century

Kyrgyz Vakf The so-called Kyrgyz vakf of the 19th century is not an exceptional phenomenon, although it is quite rare and has barely taken shape. Several types of such vakf are known. All of them are not characteristic of nomadic pastoralism, as they are exclusively related to agriculture. Having acquired such an uncharacteristic form of property for nomads, Alymbek and his heirs did not limit themselves to registering just one land parcel as a vakf.

Stove-Fireplace in Kyrgyz Houses

Stove-fireplace The stove-fireplace with a wide chimney that narrows towards the top has become widely used in Southern Kyrgyzstan. Therefore, the Kyrgyz call this stove moru (chimney). It is never closed. Its mass appearance, evidently, dates back to the late 19th century, as many houses of that time still used a home hearth and made smoke holes in the roofs. This is mentioned in some literary sources, and the same is recounted by the elders. The main purpose of the stove is the same as that

Renaming of the city of Pishpek by the decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on May 25, 1926, to the city of Frunze The renaming of Bishkek was of significant importance in its history, prompted by the sudden death on October 31, 1925, of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR, Mikhail Vasilyevich Frunze — a native of the city of Pishpek. A compatriot of the Kyrgyz people, M. V. Frunze was one of the outstanding figures of the state, a talented and

Tribal Institutions of Power The power system among all groups of Kyrgyz was similar and did not imply centralized governance. It was limited to the tribal level, led by the clan nobility, and governance was primarily based on unwritten adat rules. The relationships of dominance and subordination were built on traditional institutions.

The Role of Melon and Fruit Cultivation in Eastern Turkestan. Agriculture in Eastern Turkestan was in a different state. Overall, it played a leading role, while livestock farming was in second place. In the oases of Chalysh, Turfan, Keriya, Yarkand, Aksu, Kuqa, Hotan, and Kashgar, wheat, barley, rice, and corn were cultivated. In the economic life of the region's population, melon and fruit cultivation played a significant role. Mahmud ibn Wali wrote: "In the vicinity of that city

"When creative people cease to appear, revolution is inevitable." The concept of A. Camus is interesting, in which the individual occupies an important place. It goes beyond the traditional interpretation of the clash of "antagonistic contradictions." In his opinion, society constantly lives in a state of reaction, and therefore is regularly threatened by revolutions. Revolutions are halted by creative individuals who triumph over the spirit of reaction. Consequently,
