NazAr NadzhmI, the famous BashkIr poet, playwright, and essayist, was born in the village of MinishtY, located in the DyurtyulInsky District. In 2008, a memorial in honour of Nazar Nadzhmi was erected on a hill at the village gates, as part of celebrating his 90th birth anniversary. The Dyurtyuli Local History Museum has preserved a model of the memorial, which replicates the original with perfect precision.
The monument’s unusual structure was designed by KhanIf KhabIbrakhmAnov, Honored Artist of Bashkortostan. It is shaped like a pyramid, resting on a white marble base. In the centre of the memorial, lies the poet’s tombstone, with a quote from his work. The pyramid is crowned with a sharpened tip.
The Nazar Nadzhmi memorial is an important landmark not only for the Dyurtyulinsky District, but for the entire Republic of Bashkortostan as well.
Nazar Nadshmi was born Khabibnazar Nazmutdinovich Nazmutdinov, on February 5, 1918, in the tiny community of Minishty, in what is today the Dyurtyulinsky District. In 1938, he enrolled at the Bashkir State Teachers' Training University named after K. A. Timiryazev. He began his studies at the Faculty of Language and Literature, but was conscripted into the army in 1941, presently finding himself on the front lines of the Great Patriotic War. He received his university diploma in 1946, after the war had ended. Between 1947 and 1969, he stood at the helm of the the Bashkortostan Writers' Union. He also worked closely with the Soviet Bashkortostani paper, the Literary Bashkortostan journal, and Khenek, a satirical magazine.
Nazar Nadzhmi wrote 16 full-length poems over the course of his life. Many of his creations—Birches; The Boy Opening the Gates; The Ballad of Song; Beside the Cradle; Eleven Songs About My Friend; The Poet and the Shakh; The Shirt, Ural; and others—were translated into Russian.
He was also a gifted playwright. A number of his plays—The Spring Song; Goodbye Khairush; The Unexpected Guest; A Lad Is Still a Lad; My Friend the Accordion Player; A Guest at the Neighbours'; The Bow with Bells—were performed at the Bashkir Academic Drama Theatre at various points in history, and still remain popular today.
And last but not least, Nazar Nadzhmi was much beloved as a song writer. Almost all of his poems have been turned into song lyrics by various prominent Bashkir composers: Rim Khasanov, Khusain Akhmetov, Nariman Sabitov, Zagir Ismagilov, and others. Songs with Nazar Nadzhmi’s lyrics would quickly become extremely popular throughout BashkortostAn and beyond.
