Makhambet Otemisuly

Makhambet Otemisuly (Kazakh: Махамбет Өтемісұлы Мұхамед Өтемісұлы ,Muhammed Ötemisuly Mahambet Ötemısūly; 1804 – October 20, 1846) was a Kazakh poet, composer and political figure.

He is best known for his activity as a leader (with friend Isatay Taymanuly) of rebellions against Russian colonialism.

Because the rebellion was badly defeated and a bounty was placed on Otemisuly, he had to flee the region.

Makhambet's early education took place at a Russian language school in Orenburg.
