The short stories and novels of Chingiz Aitmatov were written exactly like that. Chingiz Aitmatov (1928–2008) is a celebrated Russian and Kyrgyz writer and diplomat. The works of the writer who gained fame during the Soviet Union, where he was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1963 and three times the State Prize of the USSR, have been translated into more than 150 languages.
