Mausoleums of Kazakhstan.

The mausoleum of Uali Khan is located at an altitude of 311 meters above sea level, on the Karakalpak hill, located 18.8 kilometers east of the city of Kokshetau, 3.3 kilometers southwest of the village of Kazakhstan, 5.2 kilometers northeast from the village of Ivanovka, 4.5 kilometers southeast of the village of Akkol in the Zerenda district of the Akmola region.
This place near the village of Kazakhstan in the Zerenda district of the Akmola region was popularly called "Khan suyegi". Despite the fact that it was not known for certain which ruler was buried here, "Khan suyegi" has long been a place of pilgrimage.
Initially, the Syrymbet tract, where his last wife Aiganym lived, was considered the burial place of Uali Khan, the successor of Abylay Khan. Khan Uali was buried in 1820. That's how it's always been thought.
But, in 1995, residents of the Zerenda district, not far from the village of Kazakhstan, on a hill, which is popularly called Khan Tobe, discovered a tombstone with Arabic script and handed it over to historians for study.
Later it turned out that Uali Khan, the last Khan of the Middle Zhuz, was buried in this place. As it turned out, in 1903 his great-grandson Sultangazy installed a tombstone on his great-grandfather's grave. This is evidenced by the studied inscription on the tombstone: “Khan Uali Abylaykhanuly 1737 - 1820. The kulpytas was installed by Sultan-Gazy Ualikhanov in 1903."
The mausoleum was built in 2008 for the 270th anniversary of Khan Uali. The total area of the monument is 1920 square meters. The architectural composition is made in the form of a square red brick building with four yellow brick columns and small domes with a crescent. The height of the walls with the dome is 8 meters.
Uali is the only one of the khans who is buried in his native land, in historical Kokshetau. Uali Khan was the eldest son of Khan Ablai from his second wife, Saiman-Khanym. He inherited the title according to the will of Ablai. He ruled the Middle Zhuz for 38 years.
In matters of foreign policy, he followed the course of his father, who for a long time managed to maneuver between China and Russia. After his death, the khan's power was officially liquidated by the tsarist administration. Soon after the adoption of the "Charter on the Siberian Kirghiz", all the lands of Uali Khan were divided between his sons.
The main headquarters - on Lake Borovoe - went to the eldest son. After the death of her husband, his wife, Aiganym (1783 - 1853), who was the grandmother of the great Kazakh scientist Shokan Valikhanov, became the head of the clan.
Uali Khan from a young age led the warriors of the Argyn clans from Kokshetau. On behalf of Khan Abylay, he conducted diplomatic negotiations with ambassadors. The territory of the Middle Zhuz of the Kazakh Khanate ran from the borders of the Kokshetau region to Shyngystau.
After the death of the great Abylai, at the kurultai of the Middle Zhuz, the heir to the Khan dynasty, Uali, was elected Khan (1781). The Khan's residence Uali was in Kokshe-Burabai, the so-called second headquarters in Syrymbet, not far from Kokshetau.
Uali Khan participated in the campaigns of Abylai Khan in Dzungaria and Central Asia. In 1769 he headed the Kazakh embassy sent to China. In 1781, after the death of his father Abylai Khan, according to his will, the people's assembly elected his eldest son Uali Khan as the new Khan of the Middle Zhuz.
Uali Khan announced his election to the khan's throne in St. Petersburg and Beijing, asking the Russian and Chinese governments to recognize their election. In the same year, 1781, Russia and China recognized the khan's powers of Uali Khan.
In early January, he was approved in the rank of khan by the Qing emperor. On February 23 of the same year, he was approved by the khan of the Middle Zhuz with a special royal letter. November 1 was proclaimed Khan by the sultans and biys of the Middle Zhuz.
After his death, the sons from his second wife became the heirs to the throne. Aiganym - Gubaidolla and Shyngys Ualikhanovs, who later became the senior sultans of the Kokshetau and Kusmuryn districts. The famous Kazakh ethnographer and educator Shokan Ualikhanov is the grandson of Uali.
