The sensational book by political scientist Ruslan Akmaganbet about the Alash democracy was published

The Kazakh version of "Alash Democracy" has printed three times, and now Russian-speaking readers can also get acquainted with this work. However, do not let the word "labor" frighten you: the secret of the book's popularity is precisely that the facts and research devoted to the People's Democratic party "Alash" were presented by the author in the most accessible language'' - says the author.

"Alash Democracy" tells the story of the brightest representatives of the Kazakh intelligents, who stood at the origins of its creation. These are such personalities as Alikhan Bukeikhanov, Akhmet Baitursynov, Mirzakyp Dulatov and others," he says. Now there are not so many progressive-minded democratic intellectuals in Kazakhstan as in the days of the Alashordins. Topical issues of national development, which were previously raised by Chokan Valikhanov, Ibrai Altynsarin, Abai Kunanbayev, have found practical embodiment in the ascetic activities of the Alashordins.

The popularity of Ruslan Akmaganbet's book, published in Kazakh, is evidenced by such an interesting fact: today it is sold not only in stores, but also, for example, at gas stations, and it is really actively read. As a result, there was a need for a Russian translation as well.
