Among the writers of the period under review, the writer Abdulhamid Suleiman (1897-1938), who signed his works mainly with the tahallus Chulpan (“morning star”), stands out in particular. This was a rather gifted person who left a noticeable mark on the history of Russian literature.
The writer was born in Andijan in 1897. His father wanted to give his son a good education. Abdulhamid studied for some time in one of the local schools, and then continues his education in madrasas in Andijan and Tashkent. He studies not only traditional, compulsory subjects-languages and the Koran, but also enthusiastically enriches himself with knowledge of Eastern philosophy, studies logic and history, and deeply penetrates the unique and beautiful world of classical poetry. Abdulhamid Suleiman has shown an outstanding ability in learning languages and reads Firdausi, Saadi, Hafiz, Omar Khayyam and many other great poets of the past in the original.
At the native Russian school, where he later studied, he studied the language of Pushkin and Dostoevsky, whose works Chulpan loved and highly appreciated. Through the Russian language, the poet also gets acquainted with European culture.
Thus, it can be stated that Abdulhamid Suleiman will become quite an educated person, especially for his time.
Chulpan's creative biography began with the publication of the poem “To relatives of Turkestanis” in the newspaper “Sadoi Turkiston”. A few days later, in the same newspaper, he publishes his first story, and a little later-the article " What is literature?", the short story " Dr. Muhammadier”.
Chulpon's talent is also evident in other literary genres. So, in 1917, he wrote the drama “Khalil the skilful", and three years later — the play “Yarkina”, which for many years did not leave the stages of drama theaters in the Turkestan region.
This period of Chulpon's life was extremely interesting and saturated with various events. After the events of 1917, he lived for some time in Orenburg. Later he returned to Tashkent, where until 1920 he worked for the Turkestan-Russian Telegraph Agency (TurkRosTA). He writes a lot, publishes, and becomes one of the most popular writers of his time.
In 1920, one of the first collections of Uzbek poetry was published“Young Uzbek Poets”, which published 13 poems by Gulpan. The first individual poetry collections of the poet, such as“Awakening "(1922),” Sources “(1923),” Morning Charms " (1926) immediately attracted the attention of not only the general population, but also many literary scholars, and far beyond the borders of the region.
"Chulpan," wrote the critic V. Mahmud in the Turkestan newspaper in December 1923, " is a new Uzbek poet. Therefore, in his collection "Sources" today's spirit, state and consciousness of the Uzbek people are boiling. Here, the Uzbek language and Uzbek melody can be heard in full voice. Here, waves of national spirit soar to the skies. Feelings, pains, and worries of Uzbeks are crying in the collection”" In 1924, the famous scholar-Turkologist A. Samoilovich first translated a number of Chulpan's poems into Russian and published them in Moscow. The publication was translated into a small but very emotional article of the scientist about the poet.
In the mid-twenties, Chulpan spent some time working in Moscow as a literary consultant for the drama studio Domaprosveshcheniya. He works hard as usual. He writes the novel “Night and Day”, several plays, poems, and is intensively engaged in translations. It is translations that contribute to his creative growth in many ways. The increased skill of Chulpan during this period is obvious. Perhaps this is what provoked the appearance in 1927 of articles in which the writer was accused of “bourgeois - nationalist views.” Outright harassment of Chulpan began, which somewhat subsided by the beginning of the thirties. This allowed Chulpan to step up his creative activity somewhat. Thus, two years before the fast that followed in the fall of 1937, Chulpan translated Lahuti's “Journey through Europe”, Pushkin's “Dubrovsky” and “Boris Godunov”, Gorky's “Mother” and “Yegor Bulychov” into Uzbek, finished his novel “Night and Day "(1936), and published a collection poems " Soz " (1935). To the reproach of the members of the Writers 'Union that he does not work enough, Chulpan answered with dignity:" ... if you give more, it means to hack, and I don't want to hack.”
And despite what the writer has created, the " leaden clouds” of 1937 are still gathering over him. A year after his arrest, on October 5, 1938, Chulpan was shot.
The poet was rehabilitated in 1956, but it was not until the late eighties that his works were published again, analyzed and returned to readers of his good name. And, unfortunately, not all of Gulpan's works are now available to the Russian-speaking reader. I would like to believe that this circumstance is temporary and the work of the outstanding Uzbek writer will be accessible and loved by the world community.
