 Perhaps it would be a mistake, if we assume that history is only a list of social-economic, military-technical, cultural and spiritual events experienced by people and nations. Besides this important role is merit of some historical figures who have made a significant contribution in improvement of people’s lives and ethnic groups, their historical development, led their people to a happy and formative future. However, this theme has not been yet investigated from the viewpoint of historical epistemology, it is not considered in the integrity with public life in the works of social scientists and historians. In the cases of study, they were limited with sages and leaders of ancient times and past, did not discuss and event try to approach to modern and contemporary history. At that time, a prominent figure in world literature and culture, writer and nationalist Mukhtar Auezov wrote: «There were many great people in world history and many inspirational books, amazing creations of thought and feelings remained about them. We refer to them as we need them».
