Andrey Platonov has a remarkable phrase in his notebooks “Turkmenistan is a country of irony”. The author of “Jan” and “Takyr”, who spent a short time in Turkmenistan, managed to accurately capture one of the characteristic features of the Turkmens - the ability not to become discouraged, even when life squeezes tears out of you, but to laugh at the circumstances, to ironicize each other and oneself. It is unlikely that he was familiar with the actor Sarry Karryev, but it can be assumed that the observation of the great writer could well have been born after communicating with such people as this unsurpassed joker.

The traveler is a discoverer. And it doesn't matter at all that before he entered the previously unknown territory, it was explored by someone earlier and is no longer officially considered "terra incognito". In his wanderings around the world, each traveler continues the work of his predecessors, finding and describing new details of current life that have escaped their sight, details of everyday life, observing and studying the character traits of the local population. Discovering a new land for himself, the traveler, first of all, discovers the people living on it. And this is perhaps the most interesting part of his research, because without people, the earth is dead. Today we bring to the attention of our readers a selection of observations made by Russian travelers in different years of the late 19th - early 20th centuries.

In 2008, the capital of our state hosted an international conference entitled “Nejmeddin Kubra and the spiritual and cultural world of the East.” Along with the Turkmen, it was attended by scientists from all over the world, studying the origins of the Turkmen culture. Sifting through the speeches of the participants when defining them by sections, our attention was drawn to the thesis of Akhtar Jamal from Pakistan. Speaking about the cultural heritage of the Turkmen people, he noted that in 1969 he was impressed by the feature film “Magtymguly” by the Turkmen film director Alty Karliev. He was literally captivated by the performers of the main characters of this film - the actor Hommat Mullik and the actress Guljan Dovletmuradova. Thanks to this film, he became interested in the life and work of the great Turkmen poet Magtymguly Fragi.
