Bauyrzhan Momyshly - Hero of the Soviet Union, writer. During the Wehrmacht`s second general offensive against Moscow from November 16 to 18, 1941, a battalion of senior lieutenant Bauyrzhan Momyshuly, heroically in isolation from the division, fought on the Volokolamsk highway near the village of Matryonino. The skillful leadership of the battalion commander allowed the Germans to be detained at this line for 3 days. After that, senior lieutenant Momyshuly brought the battalion out of the circle combat-ready. In 1956, with the rank of colonel, he was transferred to the reserve. Returning to Alma-Ata, he devoted himself completely to literary work. He is the author of the books «Aitys», «Moscow is behind us», «Travel Essays» and many others.
