Akhundzadeh's followers carried out their functions with this method in terms of reflecting the historical conditions with the successes achieved by Najaf Bey Vazirov and Abdurrahman Bey Hagverdiev, with an educational mission. Together with the theater, the Akinci newspaper published by Zardabi in the same years was also a pioneer of national awakening among the Turks.
