The article presents historical heroism and its varieties of Gachag dastans in the investiga- tion of repressions. The beginning of the Soviet era was a special period in the collection, publica- tion and study of these dastans. However, the planned policy of the empire also interrupted the research work of prominent folklorists on the dastan and served to destroy the culture, origin, rich history and memory of the nation. Unfortunately, as a result of the policy of a totalitarian regime, we as a nation have lost a lot in the face of prominent scientists.
The article also analyzes the valuable works of our scientists on the Gachag Nabi move- ment. Considering that the outstanding folklorist Aligeydar Takhirov was a professional folklorist, and Bahlul Behjat was a very good researcher and historian, then the dastan "Gachak Nabi" and "History of Gachak Nabi" are valuable sources for us. Note that both folklorists lived shortly be- fore Nabi. Bahlul Behjat has included in his book many facts based on facts and collected in the language of witnesses. This fact indicates the high cost of work.
