The lands of Bashkortostan can amaze any person who first appears here. Probably because the Ural mountains and steppes create an amazing contrast. Moreover, the Bashkir people have always been famous for their wisdom. Perhaps that is why so many writers and poets have appeared here, whose works still amaze descendants and are not forgotten by them. Bashkir writers made a huge contribution to the development of culture not only of their country, but also of neighboring ones, including Russia. Therefore, they are still considered an example of how to channel their energy and talent for the benefit of their native land. The list of poets of Bashkortostan has many names. Today we will focus only on some of them.
Akmullah
Bashkir writers and poets can rightfully be proud that this person is in their ranks, because the moral lessons that he could bring to his descendants, glorified him as "the public domain of man." Despite the fact that the poet lived in the distant XIX century, his work is relevant now. He is considered not only a poet, but also a classic and an educator.
There is practically no reliable information about the life of this person. Everything that is now known is more related to the category of legends and stories. It is generally accepted that the poet traveled throughout his conscious life throughout his native country, not tire of writing poetry.
The main motives of his work is the social inequality that existed between ordinary people and bays. The poet saw one way to solve this problem was to educate the people. Perhaps it was thanks to this idea that he began to teach children.
The writer's lifestyle, and the fact that his poems were intended for oral performance, led to the fact that this creative heritage was almost lost. One of the few poems that has survived to this day was written by the poet in prison, where he allegedly fell for evading military service. “My place is in zindan” is distinguished by a special capacity in social terms.
Mustay Karim
Another bright star that Bashkir literature boasts is Mustafa Safich Karimov, known among his admirers as Mustai Karim. He was born at the beginning of the 20th century, and these difficult times undoubtedly left an imprint on his work.
The fact that Mustai Karim will be able to take pride of place among the writers of Bashkortostan, it became clear even when the boy was 16 years old. It was at that time that his first publication came out, after which it became clear that Bashkir writers could replenish their ranks with a new diamond, as critics called it then.
The active citizenship made the poet a real example, which many people tried to follow. One way to express your love for the homeland and country was poetry. She was distinguished by an abundance of philosophical thoughts and ideas, the main of which was to value her state and each other. Many showed support for such a civic position of the poet, considering it the only true one.
Zainab Bisheva
Bashkir writers have in their ranks not only famous men, but also women. One of them was Zainab Bisheva. Probably, the fact that the girl lost her mother early and, in her teens, her father, was one of the reasons why Zainab decided to express her thoughts on paper. Undoubtedly, this was facilitated by her family, which at that time could be attributed to the intelligentsia. Her father was a mullah and taught village children, her brother knew many foreign languages, so Zainab herself could not stay away.
The talent of the writer was revealed most of all after the Great Patriotic War. Zainab owned both prose and poetry, and more than 60 books came out from under her pen. In addition, Zainab Bisheva was actively engaged in translation from her native Bashkir language into Russian. They were intended for both adults and children, and were performed on a professional level.
Smears
In the last years of the 19th century, Bashkir writers replenished their ranks with yet another young talent. It was Mazhit Gafuri. His work, as often happens, was affected by tragic circumstances. Mazhit lost his parents early, so in order to be able to live and study, he had to work for the rich.
The writer’s pen was aimed at overthrowing tsarism. He will play a huge role as a creative initiator of Bashkir and Tatar literature. From his pen came legends, poems, short stories, plays, dramas, libretto for opera, poems for children.
