Mirjaqip Dulatuli

He was born on 25 November 1885 at Sarikopa in Turgay Oblast, the son of a craftsman; Wikidata's alternative day of 25 October is supported by no article read ^{1 2}. After village schooling he entered the Russian-Kazakh school in Turgay in 1897, and at Karkaraly in 1904 he met Alikhan Bukeikhanov and Ahmet Baitursynuly, under whose influence he became a leading Kazakh reformist ¹.

His poetry book Oyan! Qazaq (Wake Up, Kazakh!, 1909), signed with the pen name Azamat, was confiscated by the tsarist authorities and made his name across the steppe; Baqytsyz Jamal (Unhappy Jamal, 1910) is counted the first novel in modern Kazakh literature, and he wrote under the further pen names Madiyar and Argyn ^{1 3}.

With Bukeikhanov and Baitursynuly he co-founded the newspaper Qazaq in 1913 and took part in the All-Kazakh Congress at Orenburg in 1917, after which he served as a leader of the Alash Orda government until the Soviet victory in the civil war ¹. In the 1920s he worked in education and publishing in Kyzylorda and Semey.

Arrested on nationalism charges in December 1928, he was sentenced to death in 1930, the sentence commuted to ten years, and sent to the camps; he died on 5 October 1935 — the English and Kazakh articles place his death at the Solovki camp, the Russian article at the Sosnovets camp infirmary in Karelia ^{1 4}. He was rehabilitated in 1988 ³.

The Kazakh article's infobox gives his religion as Sunni Islam, but that reading rests on one infobox family and is referenced to no text; the English text attests only his birth into a Muslim family, the Russian article names no religion, and Wikidata carries no religion value ^{3 1 2}. His faith segment is therefore recorded as unknown, flagged, with the Sunni infobox reading preserved in the record's note.
