Kyrgyzstan is one of the poorest of the former Soviet republics. But “Kyrgyz” also means “indestructible”. 

Many peoples have featured in the country’s history, and their sagas have fuelled the collective Kyrgyz imagination. Sabirbiubiu Berdibvaieva is an ethnographer. For a long time a lecturer at the University of Bishkek, the capital of the country, she breathes new life into Kyrgyz stories and legends.
