Argymay Kuldzhin Biography
Copy URL according to the primary sources and archival materials, the image of Argyma Kuljin is associated with the mountain alta of the late 19th - early 20th centuries, with the time when fateful events took place in tsarist Russia, and then in the young Soviet country. I think that huge trace that Argymai Kuljin left behind is not sufficiently appreciated, since so far there is no worthy monument to this person in the Altai Republic.
His name is connected not only with entrepreneurial and educational, but also with political activities. In many areas, Argymai was a pioneer, introduced everything new, advanced, what was already in Russia, but in the Altai Mountains has not yet been widespread. Further - that “in the Brothers Kuldzhin brothers, 27 adults and seven young marals were contained and that the owners had thousands of horses, herds of large -sized and small cattle.
In Mandy and Argyma Kuljin, “per annum shepherds received four rubles a month, the shepherds for the cattle were hired for half a year and receive 30 cents from the head of livestock per season. They also usually received 20 pounds of barley and two horses “under the riding” ... In addition, another part of the cattle grazed under the supervision of the owners themselves.

Argymai not only built a school, but also thought out how children from distant and inaccessible tracts get to it, provided them with everything necessary. Before the revolution, he built schools and was even under court for doing this without the knowledge of the mission, and only by bribe by officials he escaped from this court, ”L.
Mamete writes, who visited the Altai Miner in the year. It is characteristic that in all political performances - the years, Argymay played an outstanding role. The tragic events of the year in the Tereng Valley did not eliminate Burkhanism, the Altai people still secretly adhered to him. The couple of Chelpanov and others who spent about two years in prison in May were justified. Their defenders were metropolitan lawyers, and D.
Clement, an ethnographer, acted as an expert, faced the task of proved the political innocence of the couple of Chelpanov and that he led a even religious movement. Perhaps it was at this time that the Clemente as an ethnographer Argymay presented sets of male and women's national Altai clothing, which, then, the Cleanets transferred the Russian ethnographic museum. These exhibits in the year were exhibited in our National Museum.
Anokhin, accompanied by videos. On the night of May 13, at the initiative of Argyma and Mandy Kuljin, a secret meeting of the burhanists took place in Ust-Kan. Taking the oppression of the authorities, the Altai were discussing the submission of a general petition in the name of the bailiff of the 5th camp of the Biysk district, so that he would be campaigned for the legitimate approval of the new faith and confession.
” The person written on behalf of the man, written on behalf of the man, paid to his employee Kanshin. On this occasion, in the year, the Altai Orthodox mission in her report noted that Mandy and Argymay Kuljina want to build a prayer house. The inhabitants of Tenga and are currently careful for them. Mandy went to the celebration on the occasion of the coronation of Emperor Nicholas II in the State Archive of the Tomsk Region, there is evidence that Manzhi Kuljin was authorized to election to the first State Duma from the 7th Altai Dyuchina in February-March.
And Argymay was among the delegated in June to Petersburg to the Minister of the Court with a petition on the issue of land use. They returned, however, then, without receiving a specific answer. According to the documents of the Republican Archive, in the year Argyma had a significant amount of cattle - to heads, the horse factory. Kuljin was the first to sow bread, despite the unfavorable conditions of the summer of the cold, early snow, and received a crop!
This served as an example to others. To improve the breed of horses, the brothers went to England, were in St. Petersburg, supplied horses for the needs of the tsarist army, also bred cattle - like milk and commodity. Their farms were famous for butter, bulls of bulls. For glory and successes - many years of painstaking, hard work ... Yes, he attracted the poor, and what the economy was holding on and then and now - of course, to attract workers.
From the story of M. Popova: “A relative who worked for Argyma said that he was a good person, helped those in need, even provided assistance in preparing for a wedding.” The fall of the autocracy was the impetus for the national liberation movement. The February revolution of the year gave another hope for self -determination, which was not satisfied during the first revolution at the congress of representatives of the foreign volosts of the Altai Mountains in Biysk on the issue of self -government, it was established: "For the transitional time before the recognition of an independent zemstvo unit, to temporarily organize its own executive body, calling it to the Altai Mountain Duma." Even at the Tomsk People’s Assembly of May 7, it was determined "to provide the Altai foreigners ...
a complete opportunity for self -determination and create their own government." For the maintenance of the created authorities, funds were needed. To begin with, one contributed 50 thousand rubles, the other - 60 thousand, Tobokov - 10 thousand. Subsequently, to pay for wages, the Mountain Duma for one month Argymai laid out two thousand rubles for free. Having provided financial support, of course, he had an influence on solving political issues.
The deputies of the Biysk district council did not give up the mountain altai in an independent district from the Biysk district. Like, "if they separate, they will go to war." In response to all this, Gurkin, Borisov, Kuldzhin and Mikhailov in protest made up the powers and left the meeting. We decided to achieve the creation of the Gorno-Altai district by the explicit of delegates from rural foreign and peasant representatives.
So, a delegate arrived on the constituent mountain-Altai regional congress, which took place in March GO. There were nine questions on the agenda. At the last meeting, the “Regulation on the Commission on the Affairs of the Republic of OIROTA was adopted. Anuchin and two authorized ones - Argymay Kuldzhin and V.

To consolidate political power during the Civil War, the Communists created a new body - the Revolutionary Committee with one of the first events of the body was the nationalization of property. The property of the Argyma Kuljin also became the popular treasure. The houses that had before the revolution were nationalized. Built by the brothers more than one hundred and twenty years ago, households are still used by the inhabitants of the Elo and Tenga.
In December, the Kuldzhins went to Mongolia, Argymai returned to metro elements to the Soviets began.
