Hamza poet Uzbek biography

Valery Tsurkan I am looking for the series "Fiery Roads". Suddenly I realized that I know very little about Hamze. Carried away by the search for information about him. He began to look, and it turned out that no one knew anything about him, everywhere only repost from Wikipedia and all that. In Wikipedia, the information is rather scarce. There is even nothing about his children, only the main dates - was born by organizing a free school for the poor, wrote books, was killed.

And the series shows that much purely artistic fiction. And if the first had some access to local archives and people who could know Hamzu, then the Moscow writer probably wrote from Balda. As a result, I found an interview with the consultant of the series, the Uzbek philologist, Doctor of the Philological Sciences of Laziz Kayumov. He told how they shot the film, how many fiction in it, and a little about Hamze.

Wikipedia is not written about this.

In the film, Hamza had a Russian wife Aksinya and a son from her. To this, Laziz Kayumov said - “It is only confirmed that he had a Russian wife - Aksinya Uvarova. She came to Kokand as a governess in the house of a rich capitalist. ” Hamza’s parents, according to the film consultant, were “advanced people and agreed to marriage. In order for their marriage to be legal, Aksinya accepted Islam and received a new name of Zuhra.

” Hamza and Aksinya-Zukhra had the son of Giyas and daughter. But the daughter did not live for a long time. In the film, Aksinya dies in a fire, then the enemies of Hamza are killed by his son. But in fact, Aksinya did not die in the fire. Hamza, fearing for the life of his family, sent his wife and son to her parents in the Tambov province. When the film was shot, the film crew had an idea to find Aksinya.

An official request was made to Tambov, but they did not find it there. Then he managed to find out, she married him there for a Russian officer. Hamza insisted that his son be returned, and Aksinya sent Giyas to Kokand. However, at the age of ten years, the boy died. But Hamza was a poet ... He married again a year. The marriage was short -lived, they parted.

From the second marriage, the son of Abbas remained. The second son was more fortunate. He lived until 19 years old. He died during the Great Patriotic War under the eagle. In the year, Khamza was expelled from the party for setting his play in the theater, where he criticized the leaders of the new government. And, of course, he never held high positions, although they show in the cinema that he was almost “you” with Frunze.

In general, the fate of the poet is very tragic. Hamzu was not loved by the tsarist authorities for self -will, he was hated by the local clergy for his poems and plays, he was hated by the nationalists for the fact that he thought, blindly bowed to everything Russian. Hamzu was killed twice. And both times the Uzbeks killed him. The first time he was thrown by stones for organizing a celebration on March 8, as a result of which women dropped a burqa.

Laziz Kayumov described his death as follows: “Once the youth began to clean the territory, Hamza and his son sat in a teahouse and talked with people. Suddenly some person came running and said that the guys were hitting upstairs. Hamza hid his son at the teahouse and ran upstairs. Three were met on the path and attacked, twisted his hands, put a bag on his head and began to strangle.

Then the 6 -traded body was finished with stones. ” The killers were found, 10 people were sentenced to shoot, then five were pardoned, and about a dozen families were sent to the Tajikistan mountain district. The dead poet became a banner. He was named the orphanage in which he worked, his name was assigned to the Uzbek state and Kokand city drama theaters. His name was received by streets and schools, metro station and even a city.

If the first time the nationalists killed Hamzu quickly, then the second time they killed slowly. In the year, in Tashkent, they renamed the Khamza street, calling an incomprehensible word Zarkainar, in the year the Uzbek State Academic Drama named after Hamza became simply the National Academic Drama Theater, since the year the city of Hamza was renamed Tinchlik, Khamzinsky district in Tashkent became Yashnabadsky, since the year of the Khamza metro station "Khamza" turned into "Novza".

With the new authorities, the series "Fire Roads" has never shown on TV. But the hand did not rise on the mausoleum with the Hamza grave in Shahimardan, where the poet was killed. Although the monument near the mausoleum was demolished in x. And on the Ozone there is now not a single book with his plays and poems.
