“Zhasybai lived in those distant years when the Kazakhs ousted the Kalmyks who lived there from the Bayan-Aul region. He was a famous hero who defeated his enemies more than once. Once, on the instructions of the main leader of the Kazakhs, Batyr Olzhabai, Zhasybai, with a small detachment, had to hold the Kalmyk Khan with a thousand thousand Kalmyks in the mountains. The battle was terrible, and Zhasybai showed miracles of courage until the Kalmyk Khan wounded him to death, hitting Zhasybai’s neck, which was not covered with sauyt (chain mail), with a bullet. When they later began to remove this sauyt from the dead Zhasybay, thousands of bullets were shaken out of it... The Kazakhs trembled, but at that time Olzhabay arrived in time to the battlefield, and the gorges were filled with the cries of Kalmyks begging for mercy. But Olzhabai answered their khan that they were all not worth the little finger of the murdered Zhasybai, and ordered his soldiers to beat the Kalmyks without any mercy. The Kalmyks fled, and for a long distance their path later turned out to be strewn with dead bodies. Olzhabai was such a hero that the strongest horse staggered when he sat on it; sitting on horseback, he could easily tear the grass in the field..."

Born in 1709, died in 1783. His great-grandfather Ay-Dabol was a famous bee. The father of Olzhabay Tolybai died in the years of the great disaster “Ataban Shuburundy”, protecting the people from the Dzungarian invasion. At that time, Olzhabay was thirteen years old, and he was brought up by Uncle Karatay Batyr.
Olzhabay from a young age showed courage. Having matured, he began to participate in battles. In the battle with the Dzungars in the spurs of the Bayanaul Mountains, Olzhabay Batyr showed heroism. Together with his nephew Zhasybai Batyr, he ambushed the enemy.
Sarbazy Zhasyby batyr were at the pass to Shoyynkol, and Olzhabay batyr with their warriors were at the pass to Lake Toraigyr. Dzhungars attacked the Zhasybay detachment, and Olzhabay hit them from the rear. Zhasybai batyr perishes in a battle. Olzhabay courageously fights with the enemy.
Seeing his formidable face, Tortuyl Baimurat Batyr said: “There is no one left who could go against you, rest, give me the opportunity to fight the enemy.” To which Olzhabay responded: “The price of even one finger of Zhasyby has not yet been replenished,” and continued to exterminate the jungar.
The name Olzhabay Batyr became the cry of the soldiers of the Middle Zhuz. Songs and legends have been preserved, praising courage, courage, accuracy, generosity of Olzhabay-batyr. Olzhabay Batyr is the ancestor of the poet, writer and literary critic Olzhas Suleimenov and the famous Kazakh scientist-archaeologist A.Kh. Margulana.
