environment, but only Makhambet stood out among his peers with lively
intelligence, curiosity, and a sharp tongue. Contemporaries noted that he

correspondence, and this knowledge he probably got in madrassas. In 1836 in

were Issatay Taimanov and Makhambet. The leaders of the liberation struggle
of the Kazakh people 1837-1847 years became the heroes of the epos

not to the people, and his oppressors, that predators khans and Bai - dispose
of the wealth of countries, the use of labour of the people. The genuine
masters of life, the people who create by their labor, material wealth, they
have no rights to the laws established by Khan and his associates.Khan became
angrier. Homeland, stud

events in verses Makhambet nowadays perceived as historically accurate. The
first period of the uprising of the Kazakhs Inner Horde, led by Isatai Taimanov

Isatai". Terrible avalanche of events, capturing the entire Horde, horror

with heavily armed troops sent to suppress the uprising - all this he has
described vividly and emotionally, impressively bright, extremely compressed,
concise language. He chooses from a chain of events are the most important, the
most typical and the most dramatic. Still unknown poems Makhambet, written
before the outbreak of the Isatai Taimanuly, i.e. until the second half of the
