As Mukhtar Auezov said: “The Kazakh school, opened by Akhan, the native language of Akhan, the embassy motto in Akhan literature is “Forty Examples”, “Masa”. The work of the newspaper "Kazakh" for the Kazakhs, his tireless efforts in the field of art, education and politics, history will never forget. However, the Bolsheviks, accustomed to force and coercion, denied this fact and tried to erase his name and work from history. He was portrayed as an enemy of his people, who devoted his life to faithful service. However, they did not succeed. Slander is a cloud, truth is the sun, time has been reborn and the light of truth has shone. Akhan, Akhmet Baitursynov, a patriot who loved his people, again succeeded with his people.” On the eve of the 150th anniversary of the great figure, we glorified the name of Akhmet Baitursynov.
