Let's delve into the remarkable tale of Esenkabyla Baiymenov, a hero from Kazakhstan whose deeds during WWII continue to inspire.
When the Great Patriotic War erupted, Esenkabyla, the head of the Andreyev collective farm in Maktaaral, yearned to fight on the frontlines. However, only those with special permission could join the fray. Despite being Refused, Esenkabyla's natty noggin and farming expertise were too valuable to afford him a leave.
"The train station Uzbekistan on the Syr Darya was his departure point. Two mysterious individuals stopped him from embarking on his journey. They'd already informed the military commissariat not to conscript him for duty and instead, offered him an intriguing alternative," Toktar Baiymenov recounts about his father.
Forgoing his dream of combat, our valiant protagonist made an unselfish move to support Russia's troops. He sold all his livestock, raking in a hefty 200,000 rubles, and donated the funds to arm the army. With this generous donation, eight tanks were bought and dispatched to repel the enemy onslaught.
"From his cattle sale proceeds, 140,000 rubles were initially sent, followed by 60,000 amassed with the help of his kin. In 1944, Esenkabyla received a letter commending the use of the funds to purchase tanks, which were on their way to Germany to capture Berlin," Toktar recalls with pride.
Post-war, Esenkabyla furthered his education at a law school and worked in the Abai village court. Eventually, he returned to his position as a collective farm chairman, serving until his retirement. The selfless hero passed away at 80 in 1985, leaving behind a lasting legacy.
