==Plot ==
The film takes place in the autumn of 1946, in a small provincial town in western [[Kazakhstan]]. A local teenager Ivan Naydenov (Vyacheslav Ilyushchenko) nicknamed as "The Gray", is a passionate pigeon enthusiast who recklessly risking his life manages to catch a white dove which has unexpectedly appeared in the city. Other pigeon hobbyists of the city find out of The Gray's spoil and the dove hunting begins. Soon the thieves kidnap the pigeon from The Gray's pen at night. The Gray begins to search for and find the dove from the local "pigeon authority" – Kolya the Gypsy (Vladimir Steklov). The Gray cunningly recaptures his prey and realizing that the dove is still doomed releases it to freedom.

Kyz-Zhibek

2017-01-19T23:07:07Z

Jürgen Klinsmann1990:

'''Kyz-Zhibek''' ({{lang-kz|Қыз Жібек}} ''Qız Jibek''<ref>[http://knowledge.su/k/kyz-zhibek БРЭ/«Кыз-Жибек»]</ref>) is a [[Culture of Kazakhstan|Kazakh]] poetic folk legend of the 16th century, tells about the period in the Kazakh nation when the people suffered from bloody feuds. In those times each province of the Kazakh nation had its own [[Khan (title)|Khan]] and each tried to supersede the other.
The love story of Tolegen, the brave warrior, and the beauty Zhibek ends tragically because of inter-family strife. Tolegen is foully murdered by Bekejan (the batyr, or nobleman, of the rival family), who earlier strived for the hand of Zhibek. Zhibek commits suicide after learning about the death of Tolegen.

16 variants of the legend exist in different parts of [[Kazakhstan]].

In 1934 opera "Kyz-Zhibek" was staged in [[Abay Opera House]] (music - [[Yevgeny Brusilovsky]], libretto - [[Gabit Musirepov]]).

In 1970 [[Kazakhfilm]] made film based on the legend.<ref>[http://www.kazakhfilmstudios.kz Официальный сайт «Казахфильма»]</ref>

In 1988 the poem was translated into Russian by Kazakh poet [[Bakhytzhan Kanapyanov]].<ref>[http://www.kazpravda.kz/index.php?uin=1152073573&chapter=1123809301&act=archive_date&day=12&month=08&year=2005.htm Казахстанская правда]</ref>

Jambyl Jabayev

2016-07-10T00:16:04Z

Jürgen Klinsmann1990:

'''Jambyl Jabayev''' ({{lang-kz|'''Жамбыл Жабаев'''}}) (28 February 1846 — 22 June 1945) was a [[Kazakhs|Kazakh]] traditional folksinger ([[Kazakh language|Kazakh]]: ''[[akyn]]'').

== Life ==
According to a family legend, his mother, Uldan, gave birth to him near Mt. Jambyl, close to the headwaters of the [[Chu River]] while fleeing an attack on her village. His father, Dzhabay, then named his son after the mountain.

As a boy, Jambyl learned how to play the [[dombura]] and at age 14, left his home to become an ''akyn''. He learned the art of improvisation from the ''akyn'' Suyunbai Aronuly. Jambyl sang exclusively in the Kazakh language.

Many patriotic, pro-revolution and pro-Stalin poems and songs were attributed to Jambyl in the 1930s and were widely circulated in the Soviet Union.

Jambyl Jabayev died on June 22, 1945, eight months before his 100th birthday. He was buried in Alma-Ata in a garden which he cultivated with his own hands.

The Kazakh city of [[Taraz]] was named after Jambyl from 1938 to 1997. [[Jambyl Province]], in which Taraz is located, still bears his name.

== Authorship controversy ==
It has been claimed that the authors of Jambyl's published poems were actually Russian poets, who were officially credited as "translators."<ref>[http://lj.rossia.org/users/tapirr/951400.html Дм. Дм. Шостакович. Воспоминания.]</ref><ref>[http://www.gumilev.ru/biography/42/#104 Виталий Петрановский, Дмитрий Гузевич. «Виртуальный» Гумилёв, или аналитические воспоминания]</ref><ref>[http://www.vekperevoda.com/1900/mtarlovskij.htm Информация о Тарловском на сайте «Век перевода»]</ref>

Poet [[Andrei Aldan-Semyonov]] claimed that he was the "creator" of Jambyl, when in 1934, he was given the task by the [[CPSU|Party]] to find an ''akyn''. Aldan-Semenov found Jambyl on the recommendation of the collective farm chairman, the only criterion of choice was that the ''akyn'' be poor and have many children and grandchildren. After Aldan-Semenov's arrest, other "translators" wrote Jambyl's poems.<ref>[http://www.gumilev.ru/biography/42/#104 Виталий Петрановский, Дмитрий Гузевич. «Виртуальный» Гумилёв, или аналитические воспоминания]</ref>

In a different account, according to the Kazakh journalist Erbol Kurnmanbaev, Jambyl was an ''akyn'' of his clan, but until 1936 was relatively unknown. In that year, a young talented poet Abilda Tazhibaev "discovered" Jambyl. He was directed to do this by the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan, [[Levon Mirzoyan]], who wanted to find an ''akyn'' similar to [[Suleiman Stalsky]], the [[Dagestan]]i poet. Tazhibaev then published the poem "My Country", under Jambyl's name. It was translated into Russian by the poet Pavel Kuznetsov, published in the newspaper "Pravda" and was a success. After that, a group of his "secretaries" - the young Kazakh poets<ref>[http://www.zonakz.net/articles/4print.php?artid=18141 Ербол Курманбаев. Несчастный великий Джамбул “Свободa Слова”, №3, 25 января 2007]</ref> worked under Jambyl's name. In 1941-1943, they were joined by the Russian poet [[Mark Tarlovsky]].<ref>Витковский Е., Резвый В.
