Part - 2 Having thus clarified the essence and origin of the influence that Shabdan Zhantayev exerts on the people, I add that this influence is by no means beneficial in administrative matters, although I do not see any direct harm in this influence. Sometimes, directives on private matters come from him that are not in line with the administration's directives, but such directives, as soon as they become known, are halted.

Uma chachy - "Food - a Talisman"

Food prepared with love is a gift for the soul and heart. Folk wisdom says: If food is made with soul and good spirits, then a person who tastes this food also gains peace of mind, good mood, and spiritual enrichment. Protective dishes are not just food that satisfies hunger or fills the stomach, but a symbiosis of physical and spiritual elements. The physical element refers to the food itself and its ingredients, while the spiritual encompasses customs, traditions, rituals, and, in general,

The Tale of Chynybek and the Wizard. Part - 1

This was a long, long time ago, when people were divided into rich and poor and believed in good and evil wizards capable of performing various miracles. In one Kyrgyz village, high in the mountains, lived two neighbors — Minbay and Juzbay. Minbay was a wealthy man: his flock numbered a thousand sheep. Juzbay was poorer: he had only a hundred sheep. The only thing that brought Juzbay joy was his son Chynybek. This extraordinary story happened to Chynybek. It began in the summer pasture — the

White boho (sash) in men's clothing of the Kyrgyz.

In the men's Kyrgyz costume, wearing a belt is considered mandatory. For the past hundred years, belts have been made using a kushak, a wide leather (or velvet) belt adorned with silver buckles and scarves. The most archaic type is considered to be the kushak (boto kur, bel kur) made from a strip of home-produced fabric 1.5 to 2 meters long and 30 to 35 cm wide. Older men wore a white kushak, middle-aged men wore a darker color, and young men wore red. Boys began to wear the kushak at the

Composition of the Southern Kyrgyz Family

The social composition of families was directly dependent on the economic specifics of the family and had regional differences. In the 19th to early 20th centuries, nomadic traditions, as well as the livestock-oriented economy, were better preserved in mountainous areas, primarily in the central part of the Tien Shan and Pamir-Alai. To meet the need for agricultural products, part of the family or hired related families would stay in winter pastures, where they grew barley, millet, etc. In the

In the extensive diary of the baron, we encounter numerous admiring reviews of the majestic landscapes of the Tian Shan, Alai, and Himalayas. Whenever possible, he would always set off to hunt mountain goats, antelopes, and birds to supplement his monotonous and meager diet - his notebook contains the names of several recommended English guides for hunting wild animals. Since the official reason for Mannerheim's expedition was ethnographic research (and not military interests), he sent

The Whirlwind of Revolutionary Events in Kyrgyzstan

The hastily assembled Soviet government clearly lacked people who were not just revolutionaries, but primarily capable of certain practical tasks. The power held on thanks to numerous promises, widespread confusion, and support from armed soldiers, sailors, workers, and internationalists. In Kyrgyzstan, however, the "new power," as usual, ended beyond the county centers and a few coal mines in the south. The revolutionary process here was only progressing with difficulty because

Konurbay ordered his army to prepare for the campaign, warning that anyone who did not follow his orders would have their heads removed. There were no disobedient among his orders. Out of fear of him, the entire population began to prepare. Meanwhile, Konurbay decided that he needed to see Semetey at least once himself, to weigh his own strength, and if it turned out that he could handle him alone, one-on-one, he would not gather his troops. If, however, it proved too much for him alone, he

Many female field workers have gained fame in the struggle for high yields of technical crops. In the Kyzyl-Asker collective farm of the Sokuluk district, the team led by K. Shopokova, the wife of the hero of Panfilov, Duyshenkul Shopokov, harvested 684 centners of beets per hectare in 1942, instead of the planned 210 centners, and on her personally assigned plot, the leading beet grower collected 700 centners of this valuable technical crop.

The Tale of How the Fox and the Old Man Went Hunting

Once upon a time, there lived an old man and an old woman in the distant mountains. They sowed grain and tended livestock — that was their livelihood. And in those mountains lived a wild boar, a gray wolf, a clumsy bear, a striped tiger, a fearsome lion, and a cunning fox. They brought no peace to the old man and old woman. One day, hard times came to the mountains, and life became difficult. It was especially hard for the fox: she was a gourmet, used to eating only the most tender and

For example, in the Soviet district, the elders from the Adigine group wore such clothing made from dark felt, but covered on top with fabric produced at home.

But even now we know too little, as the main archives and investigative files are hidden, in which

Types of Kyrgyz Family

The predominant type of family at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century was the nuclear family, which consisted of direct relatives - parents and children. The size of such families varied in different regions where the Kyrgyz lived. For instance, in the Pishpek district in 1912-1913, the average family size was 5.6 people of both sexes (Materials... 1913. p. 284), in the Namangan district - 5.5 (Materials... 1913. p. 90), in the Andijan district - 5.9 (Materials... 1913. p.
