Boshtaev (Poshtaev) Mukysh (1897-1921) was a leader of the Alash movement, a lawyer.
He was born in 1897 in Pavlodar district of Semipalatinsk region (now East Kazakhstan region). Graduated from the Faculty of Law of Kazan University in 1917. Under the Provisional Government, he was chairman of the court of Pavlodar county.
Actively participated in the work of the Kazakh committee of Semipalatinsk region (now East Kazakhstan region). At the First All-Kazakh Congress, he was nominated as a deputy from the Alash party to the All-Russian Constituent Assembly. At the Second All-Kazakh Congress, he was elected as a candidate for the Alashorda government.
The life and work of Mukysh Boshtaev, an activist of the Alash movement, is closely connected with the Pavlodar district. M. Boshtaev - a native of Bayanaul – graduated from St. Petersburg University, according to some sources, according to others - Kazan University. He was a lawyer by profession.
Mukysh Boshtayev was active in public life as a student. Together with other students who studied in Russia, he writes a letter to the newspaper's editorial office, where he welcomes the opening of the national newspaper "Kazakh" and notes its great future. Another article in the newspaper "Kazakh", published by Mukysh Boshtaev (1915; No. 111), was devoted to the problems of education. M. Boshtaev takes the initiative to create a cultural and educational society "Igilik", which could help students financially. The article is called "Igilik kauymy". The article aroused great interest among the readers of the newspaper. After some time, the editorial office received a response from Habibola Lekerov, the imam of the Bayanaul mosque, in which an original model of the activity of the Igilik society was proposed. A. Bukeikhanov also shows interest in the young lawyer's proposal. He notes the foresight of M. Boshtaev, the desire to help his native people get an education, to involve talented young people in education regardless of social origin, and to provide monetary and material assistance to those in particular need.
The difficult events of 1916 were also not without the participation of a young intellectual. In the newspaper "Kazakh" M. Boshtaev and other students declare their desire to provide all possible assistance to the horsemen who went to the rear work. They help in the organization of the "Zemstvo Union", a body that provided material, legal and spiritual support to the rear. For this help, they were awarded by A. Bukeikhanov and other figures of "Alash". In Bukeikhanov's article "Maskeu khaty" M. Boshtaev was particularly noted. His articles in the newspaper "Saryarka" are known. M. Boshtaev was an active participant in the All-Kazakh congresses. At the congress of July 21-26, 1917, in Orenburg, M. Boshtaev was elected as a candidate for the All-Russian Constituent Assembly from the Semipalatinsk region (now the East Kazakhstan region). In October 1917, he accepted official membership in the Alash Party. The newspaper "Kazakh" in 1917, publishing lists of candidates for deputies of the Constituent Assembly, gives M. Boshtaev the following characteristic: "a graduate of Kazan University, a young lawyer, a county commissioner." As can be seen from this brief description, M. Boshtaev was a member of the Pavlodar district committee "Alash Orda".
During this period, M. Boshtaev continued to publish his articles on the problems of education in his native Bayanaul, Pavlodar district. M. Boshtaev actively worked on the organization of local Alash committees, the formation of police detachments, as well as propaganda work.
