AKYT ULIMZHIYLY AND ZAR ZAMAN POETS

Abstract

Akyt Ulimzhiuly (1867-1940), an outstanding poet from among the compatriots of East Turkestan, was a talented poet who lived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries among the Kazakhs of Altai Kobda. The poet's ideas significantly impacted the formation of self-awareness and thinking of the Kazakh people on the territory of China and Mongolia. They became an inspiring weapon for social and national movements. Akyt Akyn also wrote in his poems about the harsh realities of society, the change of previously established values in traditional Kazakh society, the flourishing of colonialism, the intense upheavals of the people, and poets "zar-zaman" (grieving times).

The article discusses the harmony between the poems of Akyt Ulimzhiuly, an extraordinary poet from among his compatriots in East Turkestan, and the work of poets of the "Zar zaman" era. As a method of researching the works of Akyt Ulimzhiuly, the author used a historical-literary commentary with elements of immanent analysis. The historical and literary facts resulting from the poet's social and ideological environment are described in the article. It also offers a comparative analysis of the works of Akyt and the poems of Shortanbay, Abubakir Kerdery, Alban Asan Barmanbekuly, Dulat Babatayuly, and Murat Monkeuly, reflecting the reality of the life of the people trapped in the colony. The purpose of the research is to prove that the apocalyptic era in old times, drawn by Zar-zaman poets, was also based on Akyt Ulimzhiuly and to find the consonance between their works. The article's scientific and practical significance lies in a comprehensive review of the manifestation and influence of colonial policy, which is associated with the degradation of time, humanity, and nature, in the works of Akyt Ulimzhiuly and zar-zaman poets.
