Bayanaul memlekettik ulttyk tabiғi parkі) is a national park in the Republic of Kazakhstan, located in the south of the Pavlodar region (Bayanaul district), 140 km from the industrialized city of Ekibastuz, on the outskirts of the Central Kazakhstan melkosopo chnik. Included in the number of specially protected natural areas Kazakhstan.


national park invites all the curious to look at the main sights - lakes Dzhasybai and Toraigyr. Lake Dzhasybai is one of the favorite places for tourists. The water in this lake is crystal clear, and the beach is nestled between two low mountains. Vacationers are offered not only an excursion, but also the opportunity to settle in a camp site and in a rest home located on the territory of the state national park.
The park was founded in 1985, being the first national park in Kazakhstan. The basis for the creation of the park was the need to preserve and restore the natural flora and fauna of the Bayanaul mountain range. The total area of ​​the park is 68,453 hectares.


The largest lake is Sabyndykol (kaz. Sabyndyköl, literally - “soap lake”), on the shore of which the village of Bayanaul is located. The lake is named so due to its special, soft water, as if soapy to the touch. According to legend, the beautiful Bayan washed her beautiful hair in the lake and dropped her soap into it.


Bayanaul - a village, the regional center of the Bayanaul district in the Pavlodar region, near the Sabyndykol lake at the foot of the Bayanaul mountains.
The surroundings of Bayanaul are a climatic resort area, since 1985 they have been declared the Bayanaul National Park. The pearls of the park are the lakes Zhasybai and Toraigyr. A tourist center has been created in the state national park, rest houses and children's health resorts operate, in which more than one hundred thousand Kazakhstanis have a rest every year.
Bayan-Aul mountains stretch from west to east for 40-50 km, from north to south - for 20-25 km. The highest point - Mount Akbet reaches 1026m. The mountain and forest oasis, covering an area of ​​450 km², attracts tourists with bizarre rocks (Baba Yaga, Golub, Bulka, Horse Head, Stone Feathers), the most beautiful lakes Sabyndykol (Area 7.4 km²) and Zhasybay (Area 4 km²), caves ( Aulietas, length 22 m) and grottoes (Draverta - with rock paintings, Jug - with a waterfall 3 m high), steep narrow gorges.


Peak of the Bold.
Didn't you remember anything? For the umpteenth time in places with "wonderful monuments of natural architecture" we meet mountains, which in an incomprehensible way turn out to be so similar to transmitting devices. More precisely, on long-range parabolic antennas.


The destruction, of course, is colossal, nevertheless, the imagination easily "draws" the initial configuration of the "Kazakh Kailash".

The village of Bayanaul was founded in 1826 by Russian Cossacks. The first chieftain of the village was Nikolai Potanin, the father of the future famous geographer, ethnographer, scientist and traveler Grigory Potanin. In 1833, the Bayanaul district was created by order of the government. By the end XIX century, the Russian population was about 800 people.
The first Kazakh academician Kanysh Satpayev, the largest energy scientist of Kazakhstan Shafik Chokin, the philosopher and writer Mashkhur Zhusup Kopeev, the first Kazakh film director Shaken Aimanov were born in the Bayanaul region. From the age of four, the Kazakh poet Sultanmakhmut Toraigyrov lived here, after whom Lake Toraigyr was later named.


The process of the formation of the remnants is quite understandable, but the hole in the rock looks rather strange.


Castle wall of Karabas Barabas?


On this background, you can clearly see how the water level in the lakes decreases. It is clear that not so long ago, most of the complex was under water. It was water that gave the granite such rounded shapes.


The supposed boundaries of the ancient sea, on the coast of which the megalithic city was located, are highlighted with a blue marker. (clickable)


What these stones were then until an unknown force threw them off the top, now one can only guess. (clickable).


It is obvious that the previously horizontal building overturned during tectonic compression, and now it is, as it were, lying on its side. What is less deviated from the horizon is better preserved. (clickable).


You don't need too much imagination to see an ancient wall, the right wing of which leaned over and went underground, revealing a gap in the center. Natural erosion has completed the process of transforming a building from megalithic blocks using "plasticine" technology into a landscape nature reserve. (clickable).


Is it really necessary for someone to point out the obvious "unnaturalness" of this?


It is very easy to imagine what this sculptural group looked like before.


I would like to know what the rock at the bottom right was part of. Clearly, after all, a fragment of a giant sculpture.


Ruin...

Bayanaul. Like a green island among the feather grass steppes of Kazakhstan, the Bayanaul mountains rise. Large and small tourist trails scattered along its tracts like bizarre snakes. Some lovers of travel to these parts are attracted blue Lakes, others - coniferous and deciduous forests, rich in mushroom and berry places, the third - creations of wind, sun and water - stone statues of fairy-tale characters.

Transparent lake Zhasybai is a true pearl of Bayanaul. By the way, many legends and legends are connected with the Bayanaul mountains. Zhasybay is filled with clear, surprisingly soft water. Its area is four square kilometers, the maximum depth is seven meters. around the lake beautiful beaches. For hundreds of years people have been glorifying the wonderful climate of Bayanaul, singing it as a healing health resort. It is no coincidence that various rest houses, children's camps are located on the shores of the lake.

And in 1961, on the shore of Lake Zhasybai, a tourist base Bayanaul, which operates all summer. You can get to the camp site by vouchers, or you can stay there as in a hotel (if there are enough places). You can get to the camp site by bus from the village of Bayanaul. The former stanitsa, founded in 1826, eventually turned into an urban-type settlement. It has over a thousand houses. The memorial museum of Academician Kanysh Imantayevich Satpayev was also opened there. The way from Pavlodar to Bayanaul is 217 km, from Karaganda - 270 km. The village of Bayanaul itself is located on the shore of Lake Sabandykol. According to legend, the beautiful Bayan dropped a piece of soap there, so there is a lot of foam along its shores and it is called a soap lake (sabandy - soap, kohl - lake in Kazakh).

In the south-west of the lake there is the Aulietas Cave - one of the most interesting sightseeing objects in the region. Tapering and lowering the cave stretches 22 meters. In its depths lies a stone with a notch in the middle. It constantly accumulates cold water flowing from the walls and ceiling. The local population ascribes healing power to this water.

Many tourists tend to visit the highest point of the Bayanaul mountains - Mount Akpet. Its height is 1026 meters. Climbing it is not difficult. From the top of Akpet, a wonderful view of the ridges of mountain ranges, blue lakes opens up (only from this peak you can see the three most large lakes Bayanaul mountains - Zhasybay, Sabandykol and Toraigyr), valleys, distant and boundless Bayanaul steppe.

Truly mysterious places in the Bayanaul mountains are picturesque gorges. At the bottom, a melodic chime of pure spring water is heard, dense thickets of raspberries and currants delight the eye. As a rule, a fern grows there, which is listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan as a very rare plant. A legend is connected with the Witches' Gorge, from which it follows that living water flows in it, rejuvenating a person. In the same place, scientists found an interesting rock inscription made many centuries ago.

There is a beautiful island in the middle of Zhasybai Lake. When viewed from above, it resembles the shape of a heart. For this he was called the island of Love. There, all lovers tie ropes for happiness.

Bulka rock attracts with its unusually smooth shape and height. Near it you feel small and insignificant. It is very difficult to climb there, I personally do not advise doing this without climbing equipment.

One of my favorite rocks is Baba Yaga (or Kempir-tas). Nature has created a truly wonderful form. This is worth seeing firsthand.

The daughter of the rich and wayward Bai Karabay, rejected all proposals of marriage from the brave and brave horsemen, a loving and caring father began to worry that the beauty would remain lonely and decided to move her to new lands, where there would be worthy suitors.

Legends of Bayanaul

Bayan - Sulu.

Bayanaul is a word of Mongolian-Turkic origin, its literal translation is rich, happy mountains. Historical traditions Kazakhs are also associated with the names of mountains and locality with the name of the beautiful Bayan, the heroine of the folk epic poem "Kozy-Korpesh and Bayan-Sulu", which tells about passionate love and selfless fidelity of two hearts. .

According to legend, the father of Bayan-Sulu Karabay annually wandered from Ayaguz to Tyumen, making long stops in the mountains of Karkaraly, Bayanaul, Dombraly, Monshakty, etc. Bayan especially liked the Kazylyk mountains, where there were many black herons with beautiful plumage. From the feathers of these birds, she sewed for herself a beautiful headdress, decorated with a sultan, which is why the mountains were called Karkaraly (mountains of the Black Heron), in the Kokchetav Bayan mountains she found a wonderful tree that extracts a melodious sound that is pleasant to the ear. Bayan Sulu was made from this tree musical instrument- dombra, which is why the mountain was named Dombraly. There were many precious stones on the neighboring mountains, from which she made luxurious beads (monchac), which is why these mountains were called Monchacts (Beaded). And Bayan herself was a girl of wonderful beauty. The prefix "Sulu" - a beauty - became an integral part of her name, and the village, where her father made the longest stops during the nomadic journey, became a favorite meeting place for young people, and everyone called him Bayanaul.

Seeing how famous her daughter’s beauty is, and how much money can be received for her, Karabay confirmed his decision to break the vow and oath given at her birth to his friend Sarybay - to marry the girl to his son Kozy-Korpesh. Therefore, with his large herds, he began to migrate farther and farther away from the Sarybai family, to new, distant lands. Yearning for Sary-Arka, many relatives and shepherds fought off Karabay.

Only the rich man Kodar, who stuck on the way, remained faithful to him, and he began to seek the hand of Bayan-Sulu. Karabay hesitated - bargained. But when they lost their way in the desert, the bewildered Karabay told Kodar:

Lead the caravan through the desert, and when you bring it out, take Bayan for yourself!

When they successfully reached the Ayaguz River, where they chose a place for themselves, the new groom began to rush with the wedding.

However, Bayan-Sulu did not like the evil, treacherous and greedy Kodar and postponed the wedding day.

Days and years passed. Having matured, Kozy-Korpesh decided to find his bride at all costs and, finally, near Ayaguz, he found the village of Korabay. Dzhigit got hired as a shepherd, met and became friends with the beautiful Bayan. She found in Kozy-Korpesh her ideal of a man of a crystal clear soul, fair, brave, a support for the defenseless. Warmly fell in love with the girl and Kozy-Korpesh. “I will stop at nothing,” he told himself, so that we could be together.

Kozy-Korpesh manages to defeat his opponent. But, having been defeated in an open battle, Kodar is waging a secret struggle. On his side is the girl's father. Bayan-Sulu says to his beloved - Enemies will kill you. My priceless, do not expect mercy here. Quickly take me away from here, in our native places we will find shelter for ourselves. A few days later, Koda treacherously killed the sleepy Goat-Korpesh with an arrow from a bow.

Seeing his daughter in inconsolable sadness, the father asks: .

Sweetie, stop shedding tears. You will find a couple. Do not want for Kodyr? So be it. But she answered him:

I love one Kozy-Korpesh.

Bayan buried Kozy-Korpesh in the steppe near Kyzyl-Kiya. She ordered Kodyr to dig a well and get water from there with her own hands, with which she would wash away her sadness. She invited him to go down, holding on to the ribbon woven into her long braid, and as soon as Kodar went down, she cut off the braid. Ninety horsemen, fans of Bayan-Sulu, threw stones at the well.

A year later, according to the customs of her ancestors, she held a wake for the murdered fiancé and ordered that a mausoleum be erected over the grave. She ran there and, drawing a dagger from her belt, plunged it into her heart.

With the speed of lightning, the steppe “uzun-fist” spread the news of the tragic death of the beautiful Bayan throughout the Kazakh steppe. All who knew her and heard of her were in deep sorrow. They remembered her every step, every word.

Once, while swimming in the lake, Bayan dropped soap into it.

Is that why the water is so soft? - then people said.

So they used to call the lake soapy - Sabyndykol ..

The girlfriends of the deceased remembered how, as a child, sitting on the slope of one of the mountains, they combed the Bayan-Sulu braids with a comb, and the mountain began to be called Tarakh (Comb). The tallest and most beautiful in these! The top, in memory of Bayan, was dubbed Akbet - White Face. Bayan sang well, loved to ride. Once, getting to rest by the river, she forgot the fetters (shider) there - the river began to be called Shiderty. And the river in the northeast, where the inspirational singing of the girl was heard more than once, was called Olenty (Song).

Mountains for tens of miles around the village in those ancient times in all nomad camps were called Bayan-tau (mountains Bayan, Bayan mountains). That is what they are called now.

Everyone who passes through the mountains of Bayanaul, along its hiking trails, cannot but admire the sculpture of nature. It seems that a giant of sculptures worked here in ancient times. Some of these statues have long been spiritualized by the imagination of people, introduced as characters in folk tales and legends.

Nayzatas

Rock Nazaitas tourists have another name "Bulka". This name came not only from the shape of the rock. There is a legend that in the difficult years of the Dzungar invasion, all the men went to fight the enemy, and the women began to bake cakes to support the forces of the belligerents. The battle was hard and long, the women piled cakes one on top of the other, but, alas, the men did not return from the deadly fight, and the rock stands as a symbol of the grief of the Kazakh people, a symbol of memory of that difficult time. If you look at the rock from Lake Toraigyr, it looks like a mammoth heavily settled on its hind legs.

Kempirtas

The Kempirtas rock is visible from some elevated points of the road from Lake Toraigyr to Lake Zhasybai. You involuntarily think that it was she who stumbled upon the ancient storytellers with the idea to create in the poem "Kozy-Korpesh - Bayan-Sulu" the image of Mystan-Kempir - an evil old woman who, with her tricks, prevented the horseman on his way to the bride.

The village of Toraigyr, standing by a picturesque lake, has long been famous for its wonderful horses - light, swift-footed tulpars. But once a misfortune happened, the horses began to disappear, no matter how the jigits tried to guard - to no avail. Every night the best horse disappeared from the herd. A council of elders gathered, the elders conferred and decided that it could not have done without evil spirits. The elders decided to strengthen the watch and catch the thief. And indeed, at night, the sentinels saw how the terrible old woman Mystan-Kepmir grabbed the best horse from the herd and carried him across the sky to her cave. The only thing that the horsemen managed to do was to find the lair of a terrible old woman. The next night they decided to make an ambush at this cave. And here comes the second night. And again Mystan-Kempir rushes across the sky, but jigits stand by the cave, do not allow Baba Yaga to get into it. Of the last strength scattered Mystan - Kempir horsemen to the side and rushed into the cave. But the first ray of light made her head petrify, which did not have time to hide. So the Kempirtas rock stands at the fork in the road between the village of Toraigyrova and Birzhankol.

Aulietas

Cave Aulie-tas has long been considered a holy place of pilgrimage. The reason for such worship is a stone cauldron located in the depths of the cave, at the bottom of which water constantly accumulates. This water is credited with the properties of relieving all diseases, including infertility. And women were drawn to the cave, believing that after spending the night there, they would be able to bring offspring. Now the cave is also one of the places where tourists tend to go. It offers an amazing view of the protected part of the Bayanaul National Park.

Mount Akbet

The highest mountain here bears the name of Akbet - White-faced. It is brighter than other peaks illuminated by the sun. There are several legends associated with the name of the mountain among the people. Some, for example, argue that it is named so in memory of the beautiful Bayan. Others that they began to call the mountain White-faced after the batyr Zhalantos was hiding on it with a girl of extraordinary beauty.

“The beautiful Akbet Burkutbayeva lived in the village at the foot of the mountain. She loved the brave and radiant horseman, but they did not have to meet for a long time, she was sold for bride price to the old bai Akimbek. The young beauty could not bear her bitter fate, on the day of the wedding she rushed high mountain and crashed. Since then, the mountain has been called the name of the beautiful but unfortunate beauty Akbet.”

Those brave ones who managed to climb the Peak of the Brave could see with their own eyes the characters from the fairy tale about the three-headed snake and the seven heroes-batyrs near the Akbet rock.

It was a long time ago - a long time ago, in gray-haired antiquity, a fairy tale tells. The aul roamed in the desert steppe, between the Irtysh, Degelen and the southern spurs of the Kyzyltau mountains, where the lands of the Maisky district of the Pavlodar region are now. At the Irtysh, all the places rich in herbs were occupied by other genera, the hills of Degelen are not very welcoming. The rich and beautiful mountains of Kyzyltau, with clear blue lakes and sonorous streams, beckoned to themselves. But the grey-bearded, omniscient old men themselves were afraid to approach them and held back the young horsemen:

If you value life, forget to think about this beautiful land.

The brave Aidobol roamed apart with the village, with whom his father and grandfather lived, and who had seven sons - horsemen, who did not know their equals either in wrestling, or in horse racing, or in other competitions. Having heard that once their ancestors lived in rich and beautiful mountains, the sons began to call their father:

Let's go to that place. If there are meadows, lakes and rivers, there is never jute, why did we leave it?

Trouble came to this happy land, - the great-grandfather answers - that's why people left it. Discouraging great-grandchildren, the old man told how on the mountain, which we now call Akbet, in those distant years, a three-headed cannibal snake appeared. With what terrible torments he tormented his victims, no one knows. But from evening until late at night, the cries of the tortured were heard. At dawn, the serpent descended to the lake to drink water. During the day he slept in the sun, and in the evening he flew out again, choosing a victim from young boys and girls. That is why, so that our people would not die in this world, we left the rich happy mountains.

Why didn't you kill him while he was sleeping? - asked horsemen - great-grandchildren.

You won't take him by surprise, children. During rest, one of his heads does not sleep ...

Anyway, we will deal with him, - exclaimed the eldest of the horsemen.

Let's kill the snake! the brothers swore.

And they went to the shore of the lake, where the serpent descends to drink. They built a boat, and the three elders sailed to the place where the great-grandfather told, the snake drinks water. When it was light, a fight broke out. The brave men died, having cut off, however, one head of the cannibal snake.

The next night the three brothers set out again to win or die at dawn. The serpent defended itself fiercely. The brothers died, but another head was cut off.

The youngest of the brothers did not wait for their return. He made a dugout boat and sailed towards his fate. He was young, but also strong and agile. Seeing a descending, now one-headed snake, he drew his sword and entered into single combat. For a long time, now dodging, now attacking, the daredevil jumped from stone to stone. Finally, choosing the case when the snake was trying to grab the enemy, shaking his head and baring his neck, the dzhigit swung and dealt him a mortal blow. But at the same time, the teeth of the snake dug into the body of the young man. Both fell dead - one with a severed head, the other with a torn chest.

Glorious brothers - batyrs - died. But as if in memory of their feat, mother nature carved stone monuments. There are islands on the lake - two launches and a boat, and on the shore at the foot of Akbet - seven stone ledges - petrified seven brothers. And even lower, near the shore - three stone heads cannibal snake. the youngest of the brothers was waiting for their return. so that at dawn either win or die. . higits:

Near the lake Toraigyr

Previously, people believed: from a dream on the eve of the birth of a son, you can find out who he will be. Edyge, a descendant of Aydabol, had three sons. When the eldest son, Kigaru, was born, the father saw in a dream a crow on the nest, before the birth of Sean, a golden eagle with prey under the wing, and on the eve of the birth of Toraigyr, he saw in a dream a boy who caught and distributed birds.

As it seemed, so it happened. The eldest son had a small household and did not know other troubles. Medium Sean - became a biy and used his position for profit. Anyone who could bring a dozen or two horses or barons as a gift was always right. When the tsarist government created the so-called outer districts, Shon Edygeev, as the most influential feudal lord, was appointed senior sultan of the Bayanaul outer district. Toraigyr was a biy and a hero. He wasn't particularly fond of gifts. Shepherd workers always sought protection from harassment from him. Toraigyr lived near the lake later named after him. And a large mattress-shaped stone (it was located on the square of the central estate of the state farm named after S. Toraigyrov), on which, as they say in summer time usually there was a review of court cases and is now called the throne stone. Of course, in the legend about the origin of the name of Lake Toraigyr, the people's dream of justice is expressed in its own way.

Pisanitsa

« Pisanitsy”, or “written stones”, are incomprehensible signs, drawings, totems. For a long time, people have come across them in a variety of, sometimes unexpected places. Unable to explain their appearance and significance, the fantasy of people endowed them with witchcraft power, attached mystical significance. The man tried to avoid these places. Maybe that's why the merciless time brought the "piranitsy" intact to our days?

The grotto with the pizzas made an indelible impression on Pyotr Ludwigovich. On fresh tracks in the same 1926, the scientist writes an article? "A grotto with inscriptions on Lake Dzhasybai in the vicinity of Bayanaul". Here is a short excerpt from that article:

« On the inscriptions one can see 15 figures; of which 10 are attributed To images of people in different poses, and three figures, of course, belong to men. The small size of the grotto contributed to its choice for the dwelling of even one person. The vault and walls are particularly clean. Most likely, it was something like a temple intended for storing cult objects, and the drawings on the vault had, apparently, some kind of religious or magical significance. Neighboring grottoes, more extensive and capacious, could serve as quite comfortable dwellings. Their vaults are heavily smoked." .

Tourists called Pisanitsa a small rock on the right bank of the lake. An interesting feature pisanitsy is a compass carved into the rock, correctly indicating the location of the four cardinal points .

Legend of Zhasybai

XVIII - one of the memorable times for the Kazakh people, who defended their statehood and independence - an era captured in history under the name "Aktaban-shubyryndy" - "Years of great disaster". Then, from the bowels of the people, many heroic personalities emerged, overshadowed by a halo of glory. One of these brave heroes of the era was Olzhabai Tolebaev, a talented leader of the liberation struggle.

In 1741, when Ablai, the head of the Middle Zhuz, was in captivity of the Dzungarian lord Galdan-Tseren, the Dzungars tried to seize the Karkaraly and Bayanaul steppes from the Irtysh side - they staged frequent sorties and raids on villages, stole cattle, robbed, burned the dwellings of peaceful Kazakhs. But Olzhabai with his brave nephew: Dzhasybay, second cousins ​​Edyge and e - batyr, the sons of biy Kazbek, urgently organized military detachments to repulse the enemy. Batyr Dzhasybay became the head of one of the detachments.

In the picturesque valley of Dzhambak, Olzhabai called the bogatyrs Edygei, Dzhasybai, Zhauke, Alpys, Zhekebatyr, Zhanabek, Koshet, Zhalantos and Dulat for a council. "Not, sparing life, expel the invaders from their native land!" - decided the heroes.

The warriors of Jasybai were the first to meet the enemy. His squad, being in ambush,

let the enemy close and rushed at him with lances and arrows, the blows were well-aimed and strong. As if knocked down, the enslavers fell from their horses. Confusion came to their ranks where the leader of the detachment Dzhasybay appeared. His spear crushed uninvited guests to death. The enemies turned into a shameful flight, and came to their senses only at the lake Sabyndykol.

We decided to go for a trick. Each rider tied the horse's reins to his leg and sat backwards in order to, when advancing, create the appearance of a retreat, reduce the vigilance of the defenders and take them by surprise.

Wow! They just came to their senses, put themselves in order, - exclaimed

sentinel, - ah, now they are leaving! Look!

Jasybai took a jaurun - a mutton shoulder, looked at it through the peephole and

figured out the enemy's trick.

Nothing will come of it! - said the hero, smiling. He again lined up his fighters and attacked the enemies in the valley where they wanted to rebuild to attack. And defeated them again.

However, the rest after the battle for the brave Jasybay turned out to be fatal. He was killed by an arrow of an enemy mergen, who, having lost his horse in battle and hiding behind a stone, was waiting for the onset of darkness.

When the messenger brought this sad news to Olzhabay, he raised his fighters and rushed to catch up with the retreating, putting them to their senses. Dzhasybay's jigits raced along with him. Confusion reigned in the country of enemies. They fled, leaving their shelter on Sabyndykol, to those who asked for mercy, Olzhabai answered:

All of you put together are not worth the heels of the knight you killed. Exterminate you, wolf pack!

Most of the Jungars on fast horses hid behind the distant hills, located southeast of the Bayanaul mountains, in the Irtysh plain. In these mountains, Olzhabay dealt a crushing, final blow to the Dzhungars. And since then these mountains have been called Kalmak-kyrylgan - the place where the Kalmyks (Dzungars) were defeated. And Lake Shoinkol, in memory of the young Kazakh batyr, who boldly stood up for the defense of the Motherland, the people renamed Lake Dzhasybai. The pass between the lake and Bayanaul began to be named after him, where he held the defense and was buried.

Dzhasybay's grave has long been overgrown with grass. But the path will not grow to it, along which those who want to honor the memory of the glorious son of the Kazakh people come.

The name of the main leader of the fight against the Dzungarian

invaders in these places - Olzhabai Tolebaev. He showed his military talent in subsequent years.

The name of Olzhabay in Bayan-Aul is associated with: a stone on the shore of Lake Zhasybay, on which, according to legend, the batyr rested; the place where Olzhabay stood guard; Mountain pass“Olzhabay asush, named after him. The pedigree of Olzhabay batyr (1709-1783) is as follows: Syuyundyk - Sugynti. - Mamyk (Shumanak) - Kulboldy - Aydabol - Malgozy - Tolybay - Olzhabay.

For many years, the attention of scientists and researchers has been riveted to Bayanaul. One of the first researchers of Bayanaul was the largest Siberian scientist, professor - mineralogist, member of the USSR Meteorite Committee - Pyotr Ludwigovich Dravert. He explored minerals in the Urals, in Yakutia, in Western Siberia, in particular, in the Irtysh region. In the mid-30s, he left several times with an expedition to the Bayanaul mountains. He said with admiration: “Sary-Arka is a yellow ridge! How apt and accurate are the folk names of the locality! In the semi-desert steppe of the Kazakh uplands, south of the Irtysh, outcrops of ancient crystalline rocks appear. Curved layers represent them.

Represent mountain ranges and miniature, are, as it were, their layout.

Grotto Dravert. Many scientists-researchers are riveted to Bayanaul. One of the first researchers of Bayanaul was the largest Siberian scientist, professor-minerologist, member of the Meteorite Committee of the USSR, Peter Ludwigovich Dravert. He studied minerals in the Urals, in Yakutia, in Western Siberia, in particular, in the Irtysh region. In the mid-twenties, he came several times with an expedition to the Bayanaul mountains. He spoke admiringly Sary-Arka yellow ridge. How accurate are the folk names of the area. In the semi-desert steppe of the Kazakh uplands, south of the Irtysh, outcrops of ancient crystalline rocks appear. The grotto with petroglyphs discovered and described by him in 1926 is still named after Dravert. ancient man which is located on the rocky shore of the Dzhasybay lakes, not far from the rock of Atbasy - Horse head.

The name of our contemporary Kanysh Imantayevich Satpayev, the Founder of the Kazakhstan School of Geologists, the organizer and the first President of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR, has become legendary.

In the house of little Satpaev, before he entered school, the only book was the Koran: He was born in the year of the Boar, in the second spring month after Nauryz. This date was recorded on this very Quran by his father. The father of the future scientist Imantai Satpayev (1848 -1928), was an educated "man, had extensive knowledge in the field of literature and history

region, was fluent in Russian, farce and Arabic. Imantai Satpaev treated Chokan Valikhanov with special respect and was well acquainted with his father, Chingis Valikhanov. His connection was a friendship with an outstanding scientist -

"Ethnographer G. N. Potanin. ."

The mother of K. I. Satpaev, Alima (1862 - 1904), died when little Kanysh was five years old. He was brought up by his father's elder wife Nurim, who began to call him Kanysh (the mullah gave him the name Gabdulgani).

Then, being a mature person, he visited both the winter quarters - Koryk, where he was born, and his miraculously preserved school, or rather, that log house in which his first school was. Everything seemed so small to him, and he could not understand how so many children could fit the axle in this narrow shed.

His childhood years were spent in Bayanaul. Like all the guys, he loved various games, swinging, wandering through the mountains. But in the mountains, the curly-haired, big-headed boy looked at the rocks with such enthusiasm, collected various pebbles, that he usually lagged behind his friends and came home alone, always bringing with him a pile of stones. Especially often he went to the rocks of Mount Sarymsakty (sly), located three to four kilometers from his native village. .

Here, no one knows who had once excavated oblong, ten-fifteen paces wide, now collapsed pits In heaps - emissions near the pits and at the bottom of them, little Kanysh found outlandish things: then: I came up with stones transparent, like glass, of a smoky color, stones with a blue and greenish sheen, yellow, iridescent tones. He sat there for a long time, enchanted, and returned each time with new finds. “Are you thinking of finding a golden treasure?” - joked about him. - Find - Share with us.

people's judge in Bayanaul. And still enthusiastically collecting

different stones In 1921, Kanysh Satpaev was lucky to meet with the professor of the Tomsk Technological Institute, geologist Mikhail Antonovich Usov.

who came here to improve his health with clean air and koumiss and settled in his father's village. Usov got acquainted with Satpaev's collection of minerals with interest.

In the autumn of 1921, after brilliantly passing the entrance exams, Kanysh Imantayevich entered the geological department of the mining faculty of the Tomsk Technological Institute. During the years of study at the institute, the worldview was formed K I. Satpaev and his character was formed. The student from Bayanaul was greatly influenced by the great professors, the most talented geologists M.A.

Usov and V. A. Obruchev. .

In 1926, K. I. Satpaev successfully graduated from the institute and became the first Kazakh with a diploma of a mining engineer-geologist.

The young specialist worked in the fields in the summer, and processed materials in urban conditions in the winter. Here he encountered experienced experts in their field, which contributed to the development of the will necessary for the implementation

of my plans...

In November 1934, at a session of the Allied Academy of Sciences, K.I. Satpayev made a report “Copper, coal, manganese ores and other minerals of Zhezgazgan-u.

In 1937, the problems of Zhezgazgan were included in the industry's work plan.

In 1940, K. I. Satpaev, in connection with the anniversary, the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan, for great services in the development of the wealth of the subsoil of Zhezgazgan was He was awarded the highest award of that time - the Order of Lenin.

On unfounded accusations of an ideological persuasion, from 1951 to 1955, his tenure as president of the Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan was interrupted. Satpayev, as the director of the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan, devoted these years to the science of metallogeny. In 1955, he was elected President of the Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan and worked in this position for more than 14 years.

In 1958, for the development of the methodological basis and the compilation of predictive metallogenic maps of central Kazakhstan, which had no analogue in the world geological practice, a group of Kazakh geologists led by Academician K.I. Satpayev was awarded the Leningrad Prize.

This work showed the role of Kazakhstani geologists and the Satpayev school to the whole world.

In 1959, on the days of his sixtieth birthday, K.I. Satpaev stayed in his native Bayanaul mountains for the last time and visited fellow countrymen. During a meeting with pioneers on the shore of Lake Dzhasybay, he finished his story about his path to science with words.

You guys walk along those paths that I also walked, but everyone has their own starting point in a great life journey, as for me the mystery of Sary-sakta was the starting point. Be persistent on the fetters to the goal that each of you sets for yourself. But there is the main thing that unites us all in life - this selfless service to our great socialist Motherland.

A city in the Karaganda region was named after Academician K.I. Mountain peak Zhungarskiy Alatau cultivars of gladiolus lilac flowers a number of streets and schools in the town and settlements of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Old-timers recall that from an early age, Ayman's grandson Shaken had a musical gift and was a fascinating storyteller. Successfully"

FINISH "In a rural school, the boy aspired to receive further

education. At the beginning of the thirties, he settled down at the Semipalatinsk Pedagogical Institute, where he actively participates in student amateur performances. Here in 1933 he found the Commission for the recruitment of artists in the Republican Drama Theater. Members of the commission are surprised to find that Shaken has long been studying art on his own, singing freely and with high feeling; playing on the stage, seeks to understand the hero's character; understands the content and artistic value of many plays.

Work in the Kazakh Academic Drama Theater, Shaken Aimanov played a variety of roles: the fighter for the people's cause Isatai in the play "Isatai and Makhambet", the villain Kodar - in "Kozy-Korpesh - Bayan-slu", Khlestakov - and "Inspector", Petruchio - in The Taming of the Shrew. The role in Orello was wonderfully performed, which was a significant stage in the actor's work. He also showed himself as a theater director. . .

with the transition to the film studio "Kazakhfilm" illaken's talent manifested itself even more clearly. Many films created with his participation or under his direction fell in love with the audience, and the last film for Shaken, the director, “The End of the Ataman”, is rightfully considered one of the best. "

Aimanov was well aware of the emotional power of the landscape and often came to his native BayanaULSIGI region to shoot scenes on location, looking for its nature to more deeply reveal the content of his films and their emotional impact on the viewer. In Bayanaul, "In one area", "Adar-Kos", "Poem about love", "At the foot of Naizatas" and other films were filmed. The beardless deceiver - Aldar-Kose, the merry fellow who fell in love with everyone, was wonderfully played by Shaken Kenzhetaevich himself.

The tragic death of Sh. K. Aimanov in 1970 was a heavy loss for the Soviet cinema, and his fellow countrymen from Bayanaul deeply mourned him. School and one of the streets in district center are now named after him. .

New time.

Zhayau Musa.

In the state farm named after the 40th anniversary of October in the Zhaiminsky tract on the Zhayausskaya "akshok (White Upland) there is a small mound lined with a low wall of stones. A horse skull lies on the wall of the fence. This is how the grave of Kayau-Musa Baizhanov is marked.

Musa was born in 1835 in a poor family of a nomad in the village of Orman near Lake Dzhasybai. His father, Baizhan, took a second wife, who disliked M.usa. and his mother Nakysh. Soon Nakysh with the child left Baizhan's house. Moussa. grew up and was brought up without a father.

Musa's musical talent manifested itself in early childhood. The little ragamuffin was sitting with whole shIami at the door of the yurt, from where the magic

dombra sounds. He was very inquisitive, diligent "in the study of Arabic writing. Responsive uncle Taizhan, approving the boy's aspirations, sent him to Petropavlovsk to his brother Kochka." .

in the house of Kochke, Musa gets the opportunity to learn to read and write and play the dombra. What a joy it was! Having completed the household chores, the boy would hide in a secluded corner and pick up the melody of the song he heard and loved. And soon he began to compose his own melodies. One of the first was the song "Ak kogarshin". "

In the early fifties of the year before last, ~eKa Musa ended up in Omsk and BL1: I introduced him to the art of music. At one of the evenings he was heard and accepted as a singer-improviser. Chokan Valikhanov's cousin Sultangazy took an active part in his fate. With the assistance of new friends, Baizhanov remains in Omsk and studies at the so-called "Asian School".

In 1956, after the last two years of study, Musa came to his mother in his native Bayanaul mountains for the holidays. Here everything reminded him of the bitter pictures of childhood. Musa took a fresh look at the ancient Kazakh customs.

During the holidays, the young akyn sang many new freedom-loving songs.

Bitter ~ the thoughts of fellow countrymen, he put the anger of his soul into music ..

The rebellious songs of Musa and his speeches reached the ear of the Agha Sultan Colonel"

Shormanov. ."

and now messengers with denunciations galloped to Omsk to the governor. The composer was arrested, on the streets of the city there were reports that the "rebel" Baizhanov was sentenced to catat.

After the infusion \ (the first petition of the relatives, with the assistance of the Russian lawyer Menshikov, hard labor is replaced by a parcel. To the front - to suppress the Polish uprising of 1863. On the way to Poland and back in many cities

The composer visited Russia. And some of them, for example, in Kazan, Vilna, Riga, despite strict supervision, managed to establish acquaintance with the progressive people of that time. In 1964 he returned to his homeland. Here again is an unequal struggle with the beys" and feudal lords, arrest and exile.

In the villages, Baizhanov's new songs are increasingly being sung. I especially liked the people of IJ.c. his song “Ak-sisa”, composed ~ by him after Mustafa Shormanov selected

he has the last horse, and the nickname Zhayau Musa was forever assigned to the singer

Into one. I: From the days of exile, his fellow countryman came to Zhayau - Musa and informed him.

good news: Musa's wife gave birth to a son. For the suyunshi - a gift for this news ~ Musa had nothing. He took the dombra and sang his new song "How - Lau"

(Burning of the soul), in which all the bitterness of publication, hatred of the world, well-fed was expressed:

MYAfKOGRI80GO relentless running...

How distant are native places! .

I, an exile by the will of Shormanov,

I remember the villages of Bayan

And the soul drinks from longing -

How distant are native places!

The people's love for Zhayau-Muse was so great in the villages of the Akmola steppe and off the banks of the Irtysh and Ishim, in Karkaraly and Bayanaul, that the feudal lords were forced to reckon with this and allowed him to return to his native land. Akyn. they tried to reconcile using his "talent to glorify the feudal lords. But nothing came of it.

When the Great October Socialist Revolution broke out, Zhayau-M.Use was 82 years old. Despite the illness and advanced age, he again took up the zadombra and enthusiastically sang the revolution, Lenin, a new life. He died on June 30, 1929 in Akmola, Bayanau-Ji district. Grateful fellow countrymen carefully look after his "grave. And on the square of the Central Estate of the state farm. named after the 40th anniversary of October, on the territory of which there was a village of Zhayau-Musy,

a bust of the singer and freedom fighter was erected. .

During his lifetime, his works were not published. The trip to Kazan in order to publish a collection of songs ended unsuccessfully, and Musa no longer made attempts to knock on the doors of publishing houses. After the revolution of his song, c. most "only texts were published in newspapers, magazines and literary and art collections only in 1959, thanks to the painstaking work of the son of Zhayau-Musa, Salyk Musin and a number of composers of Kazakhstan, many songs were collected, and now. still existing among the people, and for a long time his musical book "Songs and Yuoi".

The work of Zhayau-Musa Baizhanov was aimed at protecting the rights

working people of Kazakhstan. His works were and remain close to the people, many of them organically merged with folk poetry

and sing in different versions. Akyns and young singers often perform them. .
