Abstract
The article analyses the role of prominent Kazakh writer Ilyas Yesenberlin in the formation of post-soviet national identity in Kazakhstan. As an outgrowth of soviet nation-building, this writer used literary fiction in order to address the shortcomings of Kazakh historiography whose representatives couldn't pay proper attention to nomadic political and sociocultural entities' study in Central Eurasia for political reasons.
