Review of the Monograph of the Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Victor I. Kozodoi «Alikhan Bukeykhanov: The Man of the Era». Novosibirsk, 2021. 312 p

The purpose of research. In the review, a retrospective analysis of the monograph of the doctor of historical sciences, Professor Viktor Ivanovich Kozodoy, dedicated to the study of the life and activities of the outstanding Kazakh public and political figure A.N. Bukeikhanov. The purpose of the study is to study the contribution of the Russian scientist to «Alikhanovedenie». Conclusion. It was established that the author of the monograph, thanks to the introduction of new unstudied data from Kazakh and Russian archives, was able to comprehensively consider many previously unexplored aspects of the biography of A.N. Bukeikhanov. For the first time in Russian historiography, the figure of the leader of the national movement and autonomy Alash, who played an important role in the development of relations between the Kazakh and Russian political elites in the first half of the 20th century, was extensively and comprehensively studied. V.I. Kozodoy also identified a number of debatable or insufficiently studied problems on the research topic, which significantly raises the theoretical and scientific level of the reviewed work. However, we note that there are some shortcomings, in particular: insufficient use of sources in Kazakh and English, the analysis of which would enrich this study.
