Kyrgyz and Pushkin 

There are many references of Kyrgyz in the novel The Captain's Daughter by the Russian novelist Alexander Pushkin published in 1836.  However, Kyrgyzstan and the theater of war in Pugachev's Rebellion (which is the theme of the novel) are too far away. It is certain that Pushkin's Kyrgyz people are other Central Asiatic people like Kazakh.
