ABSTRACT
This article focuses on the analysis of the diaries kept in Begali Kasimov's personal archive. The diaries of the scientist
were classified and characteristic features were determined. The available information is taken from the scientist's
personal archive.
KEYWORDS
Begali Kasimov, diaries, old Uzbek writing, scientific data, Kazan, Ovunchak.
INTRODUCTION
Begali Kasimov, in addition to creating a lot of scientific
works, used to write diaries that reflected the events
of certain periods of his life and his reaction to these
events. Writing a diary is definitely a habit. Everyone
can write down certain periods of their life by keeping
a diary and read these events when the time comes.
Begali Kasimov's diaries are considered significant for
one thing. This is due to the fact that some of the
scientist's diaries are written in the old Uzbek script.
The scientist was a skilled connoisseur of the old Uzbek
script. This is proved by several works in his scientific
work. The size of scientific diaries is not small. A natural
question arises as to why Begali Kasimov wrote diaries
in the old alphabet. Something is definitely clear in this.
The scientist did not want these diaries to be read by
everyone. This may have prompted the scientist to
write diaries in the old Uzbek script. At the same time,
the scientist also wrote diaries to record the important
aspects of his scientific activity that should be studied
and remembered. The scientist's diaries can be divided
into two.

1. The characteristics and information of a certain
period of the scientist's scientific activity are
recorded.
2. Memoirs written by Begali Kasimov, which he did
not tell anyone, only what he and he knew on paper.
(These were later read by Matluba Aya, the scientist's
wife)
Begali Kasimov's diaries of the first type were not
written in a specific order. The scientist mainly wrote
down the most interesting information, the most
valuable ideas from the first sources. In this sense, their
volume is large, but they are not limited to one
notebook and have been recorded in different ways.
The main attention in these memoirs is focused on pure
science, mostly information about various literary
figures,
especially
Ajziy,
Mirmukhsin
Shermuhammedov and Abdulla Avloni. In the
notebooks, the scientist wrote down information that
was published in the press of that time and was
interesting to the scientist. For example, scientist Fitrat
wrote down the poem "Ovunchak" dedicated to
Mirmuhsin in his notebooks in the old Uzbek script.
According to the information, this poem is dedicated
to Mirmuhsin, Begali Kasimov's memoirs show that the
scholar took this poem from the press of that time, and
we see the inscription No. 71 at the end of the poem.
Having said that the scientist's attitude to the first
sources is unique, it can be said that this poem was
most likely copied from the press of that time.
( Picture 1.
From the personal archive of Begali Kasimov.)
It should also be noted that the scientist always
recorded the most valuable information about each
artist. For example, the scientist brought valuable
information to Uzbek science during his visit to Kazan.

At the same time, he recorded the most valuable parts
of every job he worked on. For example, the scientist
Babur's son found a letter to Komron in the library of
Kazan and made it known to science. In the process of
reading and studying it, the scientist recorded the most
necessary parts of this source in his diary. The
scientist's visit to Kazan dates back to the 70s of the
last century. It was during these years that Begali
Kasimov knew about the existence of this letter, and
later announced it. In the personal archive of Begali
Kasimov, the information collected during his visit to
Kazan is stored in two ways. The first is a manuscript in
the form of a folder, which contains information from
the entire trip. The second is information written in a
notebook in the form of a diary, which stores various
information. In particular, Babur's son Komron's letter
and excerpts from the works of the greatest Tatar
enlighteners are also presented. Some of these
examples are recorded in the old Uzbek script, and
some in the Krill alphabet.
(Fig. 2. From Begali Kasimov's personal archive. Volume 1, 6 pages of Rezauddin bin
Fakhriddin's work entitled "Asar". The scientist used this book as one of the main sources in
his work "Salom kelajak".)

In the personal archive of the scientist, in three
notebooks (maybe more. We saw mainly three
notebooks.) Very valuable information published in the
newspaper "Vakt" can be seen.
It should be noted that the scientist did not write
diaries, i.e. diaries dedicated to scientific notes, with a
specific purpose and consistency, he kept writing them
because the information from that source attracted
the scientist.
There is another type of scientist's diaries, which are
significant because they are written in the old Uzbek
script. These are the memories of the past, recorded in
an orderly manner by the scientist. Contrary to the
scientific purpose, the scientist wrote these memories
in the diaries mainly in search of an interlocutor close
to his spiritual world. According to the scientist's
children, Begali Kasimov's wife Matluba Aya learned to
read the old Uzbek script and read these diaries when
she was much older. In these diaries, the main
reference is mainly to Matluba aya. Begali Kasimov
mainly referred to Matluba aya when recording the 60s
of the last century.
January 15, 1965
I have to choose one of 2 ways to deal with the
problem before me. Matluba!... Justice is a parent's
dream?! Matluba is a good girl - the embodiment of
manners and grace. He is also trying to speak. A little
misunderstanding in the middle can lead to serious
negative events... I'm noticing strange things. M. looks
very bright in front of my eyes. I know, I don't know.
Tomorrow... I will tell you everything that happened to
me. I listen to it too. How good it would be if he loved
like me!
Here's another one:
December 10
What happened to me, I can't sleep. You will only come
to my eyes. Can history be reversed... I'm a dreamer
these days. I will think, I will think.
It can be seen that a very large part of these memories
is devoted to Matluba aya.
Letters, memories, memoirs, diaries, documents have
a special place in the biographical method. These are
also important in the life path and activity of a scientist.
The scientist's brother Shamurod Kasimov showed the
letter written by Begali Kasimov and Abulkasim father
to each other. Shomurod Kasimov said that the
scientist and his father wrote down family worries and
secrets to each other in the old Uzbek script. Showing
the letter written on February 2, 1967, he said that it
was written because of a problem in the family, and
because it was forbidden to tell everyone, the father
and son used this method. Behzod Kasimov, the
scientist's son, also said that his father wrote in his
diaries the words he could not tell anyone, especially
his mother Matluba, and the words he did not want to
say at all.
The content of that letter is as follows:
Hello, dear father! Are you safe? How are you? Keep an
eye on your child. I know everything. My heart feels
everything. How many times have you entered my
dreams at night in anger. My sleep was disturbed and I
walked until morning. Father! What to do! Think about
me too.
Father, you brought me into existence with your own
blood, you raised me by suffering. You taught, you
taught, you joined the ranks of people. You always had

the thought that if you grow up to be wiser, no less
than me, you will not be offended by me. When you
reached 70 years old, you took care of cattle, you were
guarding, you told me that my son should not be bored
or need anything. Father, if I spend my whole life for
your services and hardships, if I dedicate my whole life
to your ways, if I devote myself to being a staff in your
hand, I owe you a lifetime. In addition, you are a person
of great understanding with a sharp mind. You are in
the middle when not 2 people, but 2 clans, 2 hands are
invisible. You are not only a father to me, but also a
great teacher of life. I want to talk face to face with you
like father and son, teacher and student. Father, I am
heartbroken. I will never marry him.
The letter continues in this way. When it comes to this
place, the problem in the family becomes clear. For this
reason, the scientist did not want anyone to read this
letter. That's why he went this way. And at the end of
the letter, Because it was not the soup that I prepared,
but the soup that you prepared. 20. II. 1967.

CONCLUSION
To conclude, the place of diaries in Begali Kasimov's
scientific activity is incomparable. The study of this
type of diary written by a scientist is one of the
important issues facing our literary studies. After all,
the scientist recorded the most valuable opinions in
these.
