[2] The recording of Akbuzat is attributed to the Baskir poet and folklorist Mukhametsha Abdrakhmanovich Burangoluv.
He obtained information about the epic during a 1910 expedition to Itkul volost in the now Baimaksky district of the Bashkortostan.
During World War II, the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party accused him of distorting the history of the Bashkir people.
He travels to the underwater kingdom Shulgen to search for the сurly horse Akbuzat and the diamond sword Ural-batyr.
Hauban then receives protection from the heavenly horse, which also transforms him completely, allowing him to defeat monsters of the lower world.
