SOCIOLOGICAL VIEWS OF AKHMET BAITURSYNULY
By the beginning of the XXth century
a lot of political events had happened in Kazakhstan. And at the same time
there was a great social-political crisis in the Russian Empire. In the sixties
of the XIXth century about 70-80% of
population was released from agricultural work forcedly. Starting from that
period agricultural question became more and more important for tsar’s
government. It concerned the political life of the Russian Empire. At that time
Kazakhstan was situated in frontier areas of the empire. A part of released
peasantry was sent to far regions of the country as well as a number of
political opponents. Among them there were representatives of Russian
democracy, culture and business: Å.P. Mihaelis, N.
Dolgopolov, S.S. Gross, poet S.F.Durov, Omsk’s "Geografical society,"
G.N. Potanin, N. Yadrincev. They visited Kazakh villages, saw the life of
native people. At that historical period Russian and Kazakh intelligentsia made
the society feel under the tsar’s pressure.
At the beginning of the XXth century tsar’s police of development of East lands went
on. We can name it “The age of technology and science, high level of
education”. There was a great demand for qualified staff, educated people.
Akhmet Baitursynov was among them. In
1912 Akhan entered the city of Oral, "yzyk" horse, songs, "Àó on work of Kazakh":
-It was XXth

XXI century
believes epoch of technologies. Akhan said: Today's future generation must be
taught new technologies, must be given a push which will help them to build an
ideal society, and, as we know, the clue to an ideal society is a knowledgeable
person how can develop his skills in different spheres.
The aim of Akhmet Baitursynov’s cultural and enlighting work expresses:
"Once we were independent nation from the Edil, to the Irtish, from the
Ural to Augan and will we still be an
independent nation as we were before, since the stream of immigrants is
increasing every year?” -[2] (A. Baitursynuly "Kazakh," 1913, ¹4).
These lines by Akhmet Baitursynuly express urgent matters of the nation of that
time, the problem “to be or not to be”.
XXI century
is the globalization century when time flies. Flow
of time offers "Three language conception". Nevertheless the nation
shouldn’t forget the traditions, national and cultural values, language, the
young generation should be brought up in this spirit, and all these help us to
perceive the originality of the nation, to raise its spirit.
Akhmet Baitursynov said: “The Matter
of Nation is a great matter. If nation doesn’t do anything – nothing will
change. Every citizen of the country should make his own contribution in
different spheres of our life for the sake of the nation. Only in this case the
country can be above all.”
The XXIst century Kazakhstan is
among 50 leading countries. It’s very surprising how dreams of Akhan are
realized by our generation and we should hold the memory of him and further
develop his ideas.
