Scholarly and Literary Peers Recognition


Samig Abdukakhkhar is recognized as a key figure in the development of the modern fable genre in 20th-century Uzbek literature. Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor S. Z. Mirzayev, in his monograph "Uzbek Literature of the 20th Century" (2010), gave the following assessment of his work: "It was precisely in these years [the 1950s] that the folk genres of parables and fables, which had been neglected since Hamza and Elbek, were revived. We should particularly note the successful experiments in this genre system by Samig Abdukakhkhar, Yamin Kurban, Olim Kuchkarbekov... The fables [of Samig Abdukakhkhar] are distinguished by the metaphorical poetic style, apt figurative language. The satirical and humorous poems [of Samig Abdukakhkhar] expanded the genre system of Uzbek poetry."
The famous Soviet writer and author of the anthems of the USSR and Russia, Sergey Mikhalkov, described Samig Abdukakhkhar as "a fighter of a difficult genre." "Samig Abdukakhkhar chose a challenging profession for himself. The writer is faithful to the difficult genre of satire. Why difficult? Because the satirist constantly has to 'spoil relations' with that part of the readership which recognizes itself in his works. An old Uzbek proverb says: 'Before choosing a place for a house, choose a neighbor.' I would choose Samig Abdukakhkhar as my neighbor because we both exhibit intolerance in our creativity... to all who hinder honest people from living and working," wrote Mikhalkov in the foreword to the book "Take Care of Men."
Published by the USSR Academy of Sciences, History of Uzbek Soviet Literature (1967): 'During this period [post-Second-World-War], many fables appeared in republican newspapers and magazines. Among them, the fables of Samig Abdukakhkhar, published as a separate edition, draw attention. [...] Memorable aphorisms, original comparisons, and puns are often found in Samig Abdukakhkhar's fables.




Honors and Awards


Medal "For Distinguished Labor" (March 18, 1959) — for outstanding contributions to the development of Uzbek art and literature and in connection with the Decade of Uzbek Art and Literature in Moscow;
Honorary title "Honored Cultural Worker of the Uzbek SSR" (1972).




Legacy


A street in the city of Sherabad, Surkhandarya Region, Uzbekistan, is named in honor of Samig Abdukakhkhar.
In the main exhibition of the Alisher Navoi State Museum of Literature in Tashkent, there is a display dedicated to Samig Abdukakhar.
Books by Samig Abdukakhkhar are held in the Russian State Library, the Library of Congress in the USA, the National Library of Australia, the National Library of Belarus, the Alisher Navoi National Library of Uzbekistan, and other libraries around the world.
Excerpts from Samig Abdukakhkhar's works are used in native language and literature textbooks for general education schools in Uzbekistan and neighboring countries.




Noteworthy Facts


The writer's last novel, "Turquoise Sky," was dedicated to Uzbek soldiers who participated in the Italian Resistance movement during World War II. The prototype for the novel's main character was Sharif Samatov, a native of Samarkand, a scout, and a participant in the partisan struggle in Yugoslavia and Italy. Samig Abdukakhkhar worked on this novel for several years, starting from the late 1970s, and made several trips to Italy to work in the archives, where he gathered material and documentary evidence. The novel was never published because the only copy of the manuscript was lost in the editorial office during the preparation of the novel for publication. An excerpt from the novel was printed in the newspaper "Pravda Vostoka" in 1992, after the writer's death, to commemorate his 70th birthday.
