The monument to Abai Kunanbayuly in Tbilisi, created by sculptor Jumber Dzhikia, is a bust on a pedestal and is a significant object of cultural heritage. Erected to perpetuate the memory of the great Kazakh poet, writer and public figure, this monument serves as a reminder of his contribution to the development of Kazakh culture and literature.
Abai Kunanbayuly (1845-1904) was an outstanding philosopher and educator, whose ideas and creativity had a significant influence on the formation of Kazakh written literature and language. His works, including the famous “Words of Edification,” contain deep pedagogical and educational conclusions that still inspire and shape the principles of education in Kazakh national pedagogy. Abai’s poems remain relevant today, promoting the values of work, science, art and morality.
