Kazak-Kyrgyz relations, Sattar Mazhitov cited famous Kazak writer<br />

Mukhtar Awezov’s classic answer: “When Kenesary unites the Kazaks<br />

and Kyrgyzs against the Russian Empire and Central Asian Khans, I<br />

am in favor of Kenesary, but when he shed our brothers’ (Kyrgyzs’)<br />

blood, I vigorously condemn”. 140<br />

Edige Valikhanov, in the article co-authored with A.L. Krivkov “K voprosu<br />

ob izuchenii problem istorii Kazakstana novogo vremeni” (On The Problems<br />

of Studying Contemporary History of Kazakstan), mentioned how they<br />

had been examining Kenesary Kasymuly movement in the light of new<br />

methods and new perspectives. They paid special attention to re-examine<br />

the military operations and regional toponyms, carefully and in details. 141<br />

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, dissertations have been<br />

prepared related to Kenesary movement and studies. In the thesis<br />

prepared in Kazakstan by Zhaniya Kusainova, entitled İstoriyografiya<br />

natsional’no-osvoboditel’nogo dvizheniya pod predvoditel’stvom<br />

Liberation Movement led by Kenesary Kasymov in 1837-1847), the author<br />

covered how this issue reflected in the Russian historiography. 142<br />
