Biography
Born on March 15, 1884 in the village of Doguzhokovo (now Aushiger ), Nalchik District, Terek Region, Russian Empire [1] . It originated from a noble family of Shapsug primary nobles - Sheretloko (Sheretluko), which was known to contemporaries for its rejection of the Russian imperial policy in the Caucasus.
Receiving education in St. Petersburg , Tausultan returned to his homeland, where he chose administrative and cultural-educational work as a field of his activity. He was the initiator of many innovations in educational institutions of Kabarda.
After the October Revolution of 1917, Tausultan did not want to immigrate, like many members of the nobility, but remained at home. He lived in Nalchik and was intensively engaged in teaching. He taught in local schools, a real school, a medical college, a women's gymnasium, teacher training courses and in the most prestigious educational institution of that time in Nalchik - Leninsky academic town.
In early August 1937, he was arrested and charged with counterrevolutionary Trotskyist propaganda. On August 23, 1937, by a decree of the Troika of the NKVD of the CBAR, he was shot at his place of residence in the city of Nalchik.
On August 31, 1960, by the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the KBASR, he was posthumously rehabilitated as a victim of political terror [2] .
Creative activities
Being the nephew of the famous scientist Elbazduko Kudashev , the author of the book “Historical information about the Kabardian people”, from childhood he became interested in oral folklore and the history of Kabarda.
After returning from studies in St. Petersburg in the early 1910s, he was engaged in collecting and publishing Adyghe folklore, as well as translating works of Russian poets and writers into Kabardian language. At the same time he was engaged in collecting historical, ethnographic and linguistic information about Kabardians. He proved himself as the first Kabardian playwright. He introduced many elements of folk choreography into his plays. He was not only the author, but also the director of his performances.
On the eve of the February Revolution, he published a detailed article “Education and Writing of Natives,” in which he considered the stages of the educational movement in Kabarda since the 1860s. After the October Revolution, in spite of its noble origin, was one of the leading post-revolutionary Adyghe leaders.
In 1921, together with A.I. Pshunetov and B.L. Khuranovym , developed a national script in Latin. In 1923, the complete transition of Kabardian writing from Arabic to Latin script was completed.
After the arrest and execution, most of Sheretlokov’s works, in particular those related to folklore, were burned or plundered [3] .
