Manas

"The idea came after the organizers of" Stenograffia "sent me the address, along which the building is located - Chokan Valikhanov Street. I was curious who this person is, what he did during life and what he did. After reading the article on Wikipedia, I found the fact that he was the first person who recorded and translated separate chapters of the epic about Manas, the largest work of the Kirghiz people, which is protected by UNESCO. Valikhanov discover this epic for the world.
