Mustafa Shokai (1886-1941) - Kazakh public and political figure, publicist. In 1927, a delegation of French communists visited Kazakhstan and Central Asia and was completely delighted with the "achievements of socialist construction." In this book, Mustafa Shokai, using materials from the Soviet periodical press and party documents of the CPSU (b), reasonably shows that the real situation in Soviet Turkestan was strikingly different from what was demonstrated by the French delegation.
