This article reconsiders the works of prominent representatives of Kazakh literatre of the Soviet period - S.Seifullin, B.Mailin and S.Mukanov - from the perspective of contempory literary studies. The main object of research is the artistic interpretation and the ideological and aesthetic features of the images of the figures of the `"Alash" movement as represented in the works of the aforementioned authors. It is revealed that the images of the "Alash" figures in works created under the dominance of Soviet ideology were shaped directly by the political demands of the era and censorship restrictions. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the artistic methods and techniques used to depict historical personalities, the principles of character creation, as well as the contradictions between ideological directives and artistic truth in the authors' work. The study employs textual, comparative-typological and historical-literary methods aimed at reinterpreting the one-sided assesments established during the Soviet period.
