The remains of three soldiers who
lost their lives in battles during World War II have been returned to
Kazakhstan. Silan Mametov from the Kyzylorda region, Kissym Adiyev from the
Atyrau region, and Kadirbek Dauletkulov from the Zhambyl region were brought
back by a special flight from Russia. Their identities were determined by
medallions. Now, the heroes will be laid to rest in their homeland as they have
been handed over to their families today. In total, the remains of 19 Kazakh
soldiers were found jointly with Russian search teams.
“The state pays enormous
attention to this matter. There are cases when we cannot identify the relatives
and loved ones. These four soldiers were buried with the help of local
authorities of the territorial regions. That is, the state was in charge of the
funerals, their official part,” said Murat Moldagaliyev, Chairperson of the
Atamnyn Amanaty public association.
Kadirbek Dauletkulov served in
the border troops and was listed as missing in action. Thanks to the efforts of
search teams, it has been revealed that he perished in one of the bloodiest
combats, that is the Battle of Kursk in 1943.
“Our grandmother learned that the
remains of my grandfather’s brother were found a month ago. She knew it from the
‘Atamnyn Amanaty’ public organization. He went to the frontline in 1941. Our
relatives used to tell me that my grandfather’s brother didn’t get married, and
he had no children, but I am his descendant,” said Yernur Nametkul, Kadirbek
Dauletkulov’s great-grandson.
