There in the reading hall after Oraz Zhandosov of the Service «Kazakstan kitaptary» is organized the book exhibition «Ultyn oyatkan Uly tulgalar», dedicated to the 105-th birthday of «Alash» Movement.

This year our country celebrates the 105-birthday from the day of creation of the Movement «Alash». This is a considerable event in the history of the Kazakh people.  The figures of «Alash» laid the basics of establishment of national sovereignty. This movement appeared at the beginning of the XXth century and became the peak of the national-liberation movement of the Kazakh people. The party of «Alash» stood at the sources of national democracy.

            The centre of the Movement was the all-national party «Alash», organized in July, 1917. The outstanding representatives of the Kazakh national-democratic intelligentsia M. Shokai,

  1. Bokeikhanov, M. Tynyshpayev, M. Dulatov and the tens of other figures in 1905-1917 gave much of their powers for the preparation and creation of this first all-national political organization. The democrats-enlighteners sought the ways of formation of Kazakh society, they led the work of the Moslem fraction in the State Duma. There by their initiative were created the journal «Aikap» (1911), the newspapers «Birlik tuy», «Sary-arka», «Akzhol» which upon their pages led the great propagation and enlightenment work. The main purpose of the movement «Alash»  was the establishment of the self-administration of the Kazakh people and the creation of an independent state. The active participants of the Movement were repressed by the Soviet power during the process of fighting with the so-called «nationalists» and «enemies of the people»  at the end of the 1920-s and in 1930-s. The whole pleiade of outstanding and educated figures of the Kazakh people was exterminated.

            The figures of Alashorda were rehabilitated in 1955, but still for thirty more years they remained outside the official history. Only in 1988-1989 there by the decision of the CC of the Communist party of Kazakhstan was rehabilitated the creative legacy of     A. Baitursynov,

  1. Dulatov, Sh. Kudaiberdiyev, M. Zhumabayev. There to the people gradually were returned the names of the leaders of the party «Alash» and their works were published.

            There upon the exhibition «Ultyn oyatkan Uly tulgalar» are presented the encyclopaedias, reference editions, books, reflecting the fates of the leading Kazakh intelligentsia – representatives of the Movement «Alash». And also there in the wide format are presented the collections of documents and materials, articles published on the pages of the periodical press.

            The purpose of the book exhibition is to disclose from the positions of independent Kazakhstan the importance of the ideas of  «Alash», their successors whose lives were dedicated and given over to the ideas of sovereignty of the Kazakh people.

            The exhibition is designed for the wide circle of readers, the student youth, teachers and all those who is interested in the history of Kazakhstan.

            We invite everybody to the book exhibition!
