'''Raiymbek Batyr''' was a famous [[Kazakhs|Kazakh]] warrior from the 18th century. 'Batyr' is an honorific term meaning hero in the Khazakh language, his given name being Raiymbek. He actively resisted the [[Dzungar people|Dzungar]] invasion of Kazakh territories and played a major role in liberating the Kazakhs from Dzungar rule.<ref>Alexey Petrovsky [http://www.kazpravda.kz/index.php?uin=1152243624&act=archive_date&day=16&month=8&year=2005 ''He Led the People to Victories and Freedom.''] Kazakhstan Pravda, 16 August 2005, accessed 27 February 2008.</ref> He was the grandson of a diplomat, and prevailed on the Russian [[czarina]] [[Anna of Russia|Anna Ivanovna]] asking for protection from the Dzungars, one of the [[Oirats|Oirat]] (West Mongolian) tribes that were the last remnants of the [[Mongol]] horse archer empire. He was instrumental in bringing the [[senior juz]] into a closer relationship with Russia.

He is the subject of a two-volume historical novel bearing his name.<ref>Turlybaiuly ZH (2004) ''Raiymbek Batyr''. Almaty: Magass Publishers. ISBN 5-605-01270-3 [http://www.mippbooks.com/Page.BCart.cls?Type=Books&VIEWCart=1&BOOKSID=69589]</ref> His name is commonly given to public features in Kazakhstan such as streets and mosques.<ref>Medeu district website (district of [[Almaty]])[http://www.medeu.almaty.kz/page.php?page_id=197&lang=3&parent_id=181]</ref>
