Baiyz Apa (kyrg. “Mother Baiyz”) is an elderly Kyrgyz woman born in 1927 in northwestern Kyrgyzstan. The book serves as an extraordinary example of the lives of many Kyrgyz elders who have witnessed the beginning as well as the demise of the Soviet Union. The book consists of five sections: Childhood, School and War Times, Marriage and Family, Life in the Kolkhoz, and a concluding section in which she reflects on the years gone by. The story is told in Baiyz Apa’s own words and structured in a chronological way according to her own suggestions.

The Volkswagen Foundation and the Max Planck Institute have funded the publication of this book for Social Anthropo

logy, Halle/Germany.
