1. On Kalmakkyrgan there is a famous cave, where in 1930, under the direction of Kanat Satpayev, a theatrical production of the young Kazakh writer Mukhtar Auyezov "Enlik-Kebek"was staged. It should be noted that the main role of Kebek was played by Kanysh Imantayevich himself, who left an inscription with his name on the wall at the entrance to the cave. It should be noted that many public figures of different eras visited this area.

Kalmakkyrgan, as well as other famous battle sites of the Kazakh-Dzungarian wars, is an object of unique historical memory of the Kazakh people, an outstanding natural monument rich in historical legends. The significance of Kalmakkyrgan as a sacred object is that in the minds of Kazakhs of the Middle Zhuz Kalmakkyrgan is associated as the place of the last battle, where the fate of the entire Saryarka was decided.

Until the mid eighteenth century this mountain massif was named Selectas. In the XIX century, the name Kalmakkyrgan was finally approved as the toponym of this low-mountain massif in the consciousness of the population of the Pavlodar Priirtyshye and became the name of the wave (Kalmakkyrylgan) in the Pavlodar uyezd.

In historical science, there are several versions regarding the Dating of the battle of Kalmakkyrgan. In the section "History of settlement of the County", prepared by Alikhan Bokeikhanov in the fourth volume of " Materials on Kyrgyz land use...", we find the following lines: "The grandson of the younger son of Aidabol, Olzhabai Batyr, who served Ablay Khan, 160 years ago, i.e. in 1730, appeared in the Bayanaul mountains. Olzhabay here found the Kalmyks, who, after a long struggle, were driven South by the Kirghiz. The clashes of the latter with the Kalmyks in a painted form are sung by Kyrgyz improvisers "akynovs", who always attribute the expulsion of the Kalmyks to"the brave Batyr Olzhabay and his glorious Khan Ablay". Eternal monuments mentioned fighting which broke out between Kyrgyz and Kalmyks on the territory of the Pavlodar district, remain in the upper reaches of the river Shiderty in the southwestern corner of the County – Corcodile hill and in the South-East of the County mountain Kalmakkyrgan.... "Kurgan", from the verb" to Cermak" means slaughtered. "Churchut-Kyrgyzstan" and "Kalmak-Kyrgyzstan" in free translation mean the place of defeat of the Kalmyks or the Kalmyks ' slaughterhouse." Thus, according to S. Bokeikhanov, the battle of Kalmakkyrgan was in the early 1730s.

Held other opinion Alike Margulan. He assumed that the battle in the Bayanaul mountains, where Zhasybai Batyr dies, and the defeat of the Kalmyks by Olzhabai on Kalmakkyrgan occurred in the 40s of the XVIII century. It is obvious that the low-mountain massif" Kalmakkyrgan " became the scene of battle in the era of the Kazakh-Dzungarian wars. The main character of the Kazakh militia is Olzhabay Batyr, who avenges the death of the glorious Kazakh Batyr Zhasybay.

In "the History of Sary-ARKA "well-known scholar of Kazakh history of Mashhur Zhusup Kopeev wrote: "The Kazakhs in Saryarka appeared and took possession of it in the era a little before the time of Abylai Khan. The Kazakhs did not seize free lands that had no owner. Fighting the Kalmyks to death in the era of the batyrs-Kabanbai Karakereya, Bogenbai Kanzhygaly, KAZ dauysty Kazybek, Zhanibek Shakshakuly, dying, linking their fate with the military way of life, "the tip of the spear, the power of the shoulder" extracted these lands... how many noble warriors have died from the arrows of the enemy!?... those who were ordered to die died, those who were ordered to live remained alive, in the end, the Kazakhs managed to recapture these lands.
