On January 24, 2025, the Central City Library named after A.P. Chekhov hosted an event called "Shoqtygy biik - Shokan" dedicated to the 190th anniversary of the birth of Shokan Valikhanov.
The meeting brought together cultural scientists, writers, teachers and students of gymnasium No. 147 in Almaty. The guests of the event noted the invaluable contribution of Shokan Valikhanov to science and culture, and the gymnasium students presented their creative works dedicated to the great scientist.
Of particular interest was the story of Khodzhabai Mukhtar, a teacher of the Department of World History, Historiography and Source Studies, about the archival materials of Shokan Valikhanov stored in the St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Khodzhabai Mukhtar also answered numerous questions from schoolchildren.
