The word “revival” conforms not only social and cultural shifts which took place in the Kazakh society, it gave us the pleiad of unique and original talents, Gabiden Mustafin belonged to the same pleiad. “Powerful wave of spontaneous people’s talents flushed, fading art of nomads, already covered by ash, sparked off as the bright flame”.

Gabiden Mustafin, people’s writer of the Republic of Kazakhstan, was born on November 26, 1902 in a modest family of a herdsman, he spent his childhood in the overgrown with caragana locality, called Sartobe, at the bottom of Zhauyr-Tau mountain ( presently Telmanovsky district of Karaganda region).
