Before and after the Bolshevism revolution, the Kazakh people lost many intellectuals in their struggle for existence. Among those who sacrificed their lives for the independent Kazakh people for the sake of education and science, one of the first people who comes to mind is undoubtedly Ahmet Baytursınulı.
Because of his efforts and efforts towards science and education, he was accused of nationalism by the government of the time. Because of the prosecution and investigations, he is punished by being thrown into dungeons four times and shot.
The work called "Kanşengel" or "Ahmet Baytursınulı's Last Letter", with lyrics by Kamitbek Musabayulı and composition by Nagaşibay Alpısulı, turns into an immortal epic. This is the sole embodiment of saz, art and literature, not only Ahmet, but also the determined and tough struggle of the Kazakh intellectuals of that period, with blood and tears, in the construction of their own people and the enlightened Kazakh society of the future.
The work called "Ahmet Batursınulı's Letter", which meets the sad tones of dombra and transforms from words into notes and from notes into a visual art, turns into a historical source as a literary work and a witness to the national struggle of the intellectuals of the period.
Undoubtedly, in this story, besides Ahmet Baytursunulı, Magcan Cumabayulı, Muhtar Awezov, Şakerim Kudayberdiulı etc. Kazakh intellectuals have a tough and determined struggle.
Ahmet Baytursunulı, whose name and works were banned for many years after his death, was only acquitted by a court decision in 1986. The name of Baytursunuli, who remained on the lips and hearts of the Kazakh people even when he was imprisoned in dungeons or banned, was immortalized by being given to institutes, universities, streets and libraries.
Today, every Kazakh child learns the name of Ahmet Baytursunulı when he steps into kindergarten or primary school and carries his love and respect in his heart.
