Abstract

The article analyzes humanistic ideas in the works by Chingiz Aitmatov (1928-2008) within the framework of Kyrgyz national and European and Russian intellectual environment. It is reiterated that Ch. Aitmatov thought in a metaphysical and humanistic manner, in spite of the prevailing materialistic ideology. The idea that Ch. Aitmatov’s specific humanism results from an individual’s direct experience and understanding of the consequences of the Great Patriotic War is substantiated. Within this context, the historical fate of the Kyrgyz nation in the 20th century is analyzed with reference to the works by Ch. Aitmatov.
