Abstract

The Great Patriotic War is one of the bloodiest massacres in the history of mankind. Every year, the number of living witnesses of the war — veterans and home front workers, frontline soldiers — decreases. In order to preserve the memory about the feat of soldiers who died on the bloody front for future generations, it is becoming more and more relevant to study the topic of war and give a reliable historical assessment of the feats of Kazakhstanis shown at the front. Current issues concerning the history of the war require revision, because so many millions of people died in this war, and on the home front thousands of people worked selflessly for the benefit of the war. Present times require to rethink the tragic pages of history of the people of Kazakhstan who survived this tragic period, and to give a true assessment of their heroism. Since independence, many of the data from the Archive Fund have entered scientific circulation and been published, but an extensive set of unpublished historical data has been formed. However, the quantitative data related to the soldiers in the war still needs to be clarified. Zhambyl soldiers also took part in the war, there are wounded, dead, heroically distinguished, as well as missing. A number of military formations formed on the Kazakh land went to war, and their deeds, on the home front and battle front and were an integral part of the history of the war. Therefore, it is necessary to study the history of the war and the fate of people, including the history of the military life of the Zhambyl people. This article offers a study about their feats based on data on the participation of Zhambyl residents in military operations during the Great Patriotic War.
