This year marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of Sattar Yerubaev, a remarkable poet, talented writer, publicist, and an outstanding professional in the field of journalism, who left an indelible mark on Kazakh culture in his short life. Since the beginning of the year, numerous cultural and educational events have been held in the Turkestan region to honor and promote Sattar Yerubaev’s legacy.
One such event took place at School No. 14 named after Kazhybek Bi in Turkestan. The exhibition, titled “A Radiant Star That Burned Briefly,” was organized jointly by the “Azret Sultan” National Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve and the S. Yerubaev Memorial Museum in Turkestan.
The purpose of the exhibition is to celebrate Sattar Yerubaev’s creative legacy, highlight his contributions to Kazakh spirituality, and emphasize the relevance of his works in the modern era.
For the Kazakh nation, literature, and statehood, Sattar Yerubaev holds a unique and distinguished place. His novel “My Contemporaries” stands as a prime example of innovation in Kazakh literature. When we talk about the brightest stars in our literature, Sattar Yerubaev undoubtedly takes one of the leading positions—a fact no one can deny. He remains a distinctive and inimitable figure with his exceptional talents.
The exhibition features more than ten large panels displaying photos from Yerubaev’s childhood and youth, as well as works from the collection of the S. Yerubaev Memorial Museum, including his books showcased in glass cases.

The exhibition is expected to continue in the hall of the S. Yerubaev Memorial Museum until the end of the year.
