Biography
Biography
A friend of another classic writer Mukhtar Auezov, Zhansugurov was the First President of the Writers' Union of Kazakhstan from 1934 to 1936. He wrote the novel Comrades (1933), targeted against the Soviet power, but also wrote loving poems such as The Steppe (1930) and Kulager (1936). He was repressed in 1937, as his writing was seen as a fuel for Kazakh nationalism, and shot on 26 February 1938. Zhansugurov Literary Museum is a center dedicated to the study of his work.
Photo from the archive of the Zhansugurov-Zhandosov family: Maxim Gorky, Fatima Gabitova (according to another version Polina Kusurgasheva) and Ilyas Zhansugurov. During his stay in Moscow at the USSR Writers' Congress, a meeting with M.Gorky was held at his dacha.
