“Maral Kurmanov was not at all a“ false prophet ”or“ inspired from above ”, but a separatist-dreamer, who stood out from the crowd of ordinary Kirghiz not so much by his mind as by the spirit of exclusivity, he planned to carry out a major reform of the everyday and political life of his people and to implement his plans he chose a convenient time - a time of turmoil and strife ...
