The students showed presentations on the life and scientific activities, the family of Sanjar Asfendiarov. He was among the first leaders and organizers who laid the foundation of the Kazakh Academy of Sciences base. In accordance with the spirit of the historical time, when the Kazakh people experienced an acute shortage of scientists, specialists, educated people, Sanjar Asfendiyarov conducted extensive scientific work, devoting himself to medical, scientific, pedagogical, political, and organizational activities. Among his works, one can single out "The Past of Kazakhstan in sources and materials" in 1935. The publication of this unique collection of data was an event that had a significant place in the scientific life of the republic.

      On August 22, 1937, he was repressed as an "enemy of the people." By the decision of the Supreme Court of the USSR dated May 26, 1958, S.D. Asfendiyarov was rehabilitated.

      "Valuable treasures of oral literature, such as proverbs and sayings from the funds of our national culture, disappear without a trace over the years. It is our duty to leave a rich historical heritage for future generations," Sanjar Asfendiyarov said.
