Private Artyom Kudryashov, who is serving in Military Unit 6505 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Karaganda, did not speak Kazakh before being drafted into military service. However, within eight months, he learned the state language, and his interest in Kazakh culture grew so much that he began devoting his free time to reading Kazakh literature. As a result, he memorized poems by Abai Kunanbaiuly, while reading his Words of Edification became a regular part of his routine.

The legacy of the great thinker helped the serviceman learn the Kazakh language and gain a deeper understanding of the worldview and spiritual culture of the Kazakh people. He tries to draw a lesson from every work and life wisdom from every Word of Edification. Day by day, Private Kudryashov's interest in the state language continues to deepen. Today, one of the books he returns to most often is a collection of Abai's works. His favorite poem is “Qys” (“Winter”).

Artyom's story demonstrates that the creative legacy of the great thinker can serve as a spiritual guide not only for members of the Kazakh people, but for anyone seeking to better understand the language, culture, and history of Kazakhstan. For Artyom, Abai has become a spiritual mentor who helped him grow closer to the Kazakh language and culture.

Today, Private Artyom Kudryashov also performs his military duties with a high degree of responsibility. Serving as part of a guard detail, he ensures the security of the facilities entrusted to him and faithfully carries out his assigned service and combat duties.
