The aim continues the research on the creative legacy of M.O. Auezov, presenting new and relevant insights. It is the first study to examine the influence of I.S. Turgenev’s works on the Kazakh literary classic. The article analyzes previously unknown materials from Auezov’s scholarly and critical heritage, which reflect the history of Kazakh literature and its connections with the literary traditions of other nations. The study explores a previously unexamined area: the spiritual sources that nourished, inspired, and energized Auezov creatively. Alongside national literature, world literature – particularly Russian classical literature – played a crucial role. The article emphasizes that Auezov regarded Turgenev as a mentor who broadened his worldview and influenced his writing style. The authors investigate Turgenev’s impact on Auezov’s works, opening avenues for further research. Additionally, Auezov’s experience as a translator and his scholarly contributions in this field are examined. By introducing Kazakh readers to masterpieces of world literature, his translations of Russian classics elevated the standards of literary translation in Kazakhstan. This study contributes to the further exploration of literary connections, deepening the understanding of Russian classics’ influence on Auezov and his role in the cultural process.
