SUCCESSION OF ABAI AND AKHMET BAITURSYNOV
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of continuity in the works of Abai and Akhmet
Baitursynov. They were united by the depth of thought and knowledge, the idea of caring
for their people and the moral improvement of their contemporaries. Akhmet Baitursynov
is the first Abai scholar whose article with deep meaning about Abai was published in
1913. Akhmet Baitursynov was the first to recognize Abai as the main, the first Kazakh
poet. According to him, Abai is a poet who raised the dignity of Kazakh verse, giving him
an honorable place in the world of poetry. Abai's poems contained depth of thought,
criticality, and knowledge. Abai is a poet-innovator who perfected the form of Kazakh
verse.
And as Akhmet Baitursynov wrote, Abai is a poet-thinker who has learned the
essence of everything he wrote about. Akhmet Baitursynov, who so deeply knew and
highly appreciated Abai, himself rose to the level of Abai the mentor, Abai the thinker, like
Abai of his time, and he himself became a moral teacher of his nation, an extraordinary
personality of the Kazaks. This is one of the moments of the relationship between Akhmet
Baitursynov and Abai.
The relationship between Akhmet Baitursynov and Abai is reflected in the content
of their works, the unity and commonality of thoughts and ideas. First of all, both poets
sharply exposed and criticized negative, unhealthy human qualities in their poems. They
wrote and promoted the noble, virtuous qualities of a person. The goal of both poets is to
awaken and enlighten the consciousness of the people, writing morality in their poems and
fables. Space and time, the existing socio-political system and the prevailing environment
combined the creative searches of the two poets. The poems "Segiz ayak", "Zhigan-tergen"
are the pinnacle of the unity of spirituality and purpose, the artistic denouement of the two
poets. The article gives such judgments about the continuity of the two poets.
