Hero with heavy fate Akpan Ukubayev

Hero with heavy fate Akpan Ukubayev

Centenary of the Hero

This year is a special one for Zharkai district, which is in Akmola region. In 2019, a man without whom the existence of the district would have been impossible - Akpan Ukubayevich Ukubayev would have celebrated his 100th birthday. It can be said that his life path was predetermined back in school. Akpan-aga was born in 1919 in Algabas village of Akmola region. Three years after the revolution, one of the first schools of the region began its work in Yereimentau. Mainly education was received by the children of shepherds. Amongsnt them was a little Akpan. Afterwards, there was a boarding school in the village of Blagodatnoye. These years are one of the most tragic in the history of the Kazakh people. Collectivization, mass hunger, repression. One can only guess what a teenager had witnessed at that time. But all the trials have only hardened our hero. The year 1939, when he entered the accounting and credit technical school in Alma-Aty, was a turning point for him. That year, he was drafted into the Armed Forces in the Volga Military District. He served as a gun commander. One can say that the army became his home for many years. Akpan Ukubayev devoted more than seven years to military path.

The Great Patriotic War

On 22 June 1941, the life in the vast country was divided into before and after. The captain, the battery commander Akpan Ukubayev got to the frontlines among the first in the 201st rifle division of the South-Western front. He passed through half of Europe. He liberated cities of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia. He was wounded. He celebrated victory in Austria. Peaceful life was only a memory. The country laid in ruins. It had to be restored. After the war Akpan Ukubayev worked in the area far from the battles - in Akmola region, but the tasks had to be solved no less difficult. For two years he was an instructor in Akmola Regional Executive Committee.  And then two years of study at the Republican Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan. But even this was not enough for him. He graduated from the Faculty of History at the Abay Metropolitan Pedagogical Institute as an extern. Then for two years he worked as a deputy chairman of Shortandy district executive committee. The next stage in his career was the position of Chairman of Yesil district executive committee. This appointment came a couple of years before the epochal event - the development of virgin and fallow lands of Kazakhstan. The pioneer virgin landers have always remembered him with trepidation and reverence. He was the second secretary of the North-Kazakhstan regional party committee, then headed the regional executive committee.

The first builder!

In the middle of the fifties, Akpan Ukubayev stood at the origins of the Derzhavin district, today it is Zharkai district. For a short period of three years he managed to build the beautiful city of Derzhavinsk on the bank of the Ishim River. Today one of the central streets of the city and a local school deservedly bear the name of Akpan Ukubayev. Particularly the secretary of the district party committee liked to visit the first leaders of Kazakhstan - the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the KazSSR Dinmukhamed Kunayev and chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the KazSSR Zhumabek Tashenev.

He always tried to thoroughly understand all the issues. And one can only imagine what other heights he would have climbed if not for the tragic event. In 1963, Akpan Ukubayev died tragically in a car accident. He was 44 years old. He left behind his beloved wife Balken Ormashevna and children: Marat, Mahmet, Saule and Rosa. And, of course, the memory of his contemporaries and grateful descendants. 

The whole country knows the hero!

The name of our hero is widely known far beyond the virgin land. The whole republic knows about Akpan Ukubayev with no exception. His life had to coincide, perhaps, with the most difficult and controversial period of our history. Establishment of Soviet power, collectivization, hunger, repression, industrialization, Great Patriotic War, Tselina. One of these would be more than enough, let alone all together. But Akpan Ukubayev endured all the trials and tribulations that befell him with dignity.
