Her story

Story of the most modest, closed and talented woman of the musical world of Azerbaijan

Geysar Kashiyeva is a girl with an extraordinary destiny, just like her name. She made history of the national fine arts by becoming the first professional artist not only on the territory of Azerbaijan, but in the whole East

She heard of him previously, but that was their first meeting. Was that destiny or accident? He sat behind her. Her dense, abundant, long hair in thick tresses would turn out to be darts of love: while unleashing her hair back, it touched his face - the heart of the poet surrendered without any struggle

As far as I remember myself, I dance. It seems to me, even in the cradle! I was not allowed to completely leave the ballet, but ballet was everywhere, in all countries of the world,the same canon. And folklore is the mirror showing the soul of the nation

Ziba Qaniyeva became one of the legendary women of the Soviet Union

She always dreamed of getting an education, while being in exile she even attended classes, and in order not to forget her language, at nights she covered herself with a blanket and talked to herself... This story is about the only surviving woman from the Rasulzade family: daughter of Latifa khanum & granddaughter of Mamed Emin Rasulzade Firuza

She was born in 1905, the youngest of the 4 daughters, and her mother died at child birth. Family’s younger children usually get the most spoilt and petulant ones, but this wasn’t the case

By the beginning of the war, to be exact, by 1941, Mamedbekova was already an aviation major, having trained hundreds of pilots, two of whom - Adil Guliyev and Nikolai Sheverdyaev - became heroes of the Soviet Union. But, as mothers of four underage children, the youngest of whom was a baby, she was rejected to go to the front. But she didn't sit idly, especially when you live such a powerful lifestory.
