Biography

Musa Geshaev was born in

Zhambyl Province of Kazakhstan, and as a student he started writing poems and stories. As early as in third grade, Geshaev had declared his intention on becoming a writer.[2]

After graduating from high school Geshaev attended the

Chechen-Ingush Ministry of Culture, and from 1967 to 1968 he served as the House Director of the Folklore Culture Movement, under which he created art performances that participated in regional competitions throughout the Soviet Union.[1]

From 1967 to 1978 Geshaev led the famous Chechen-Ingush dance company "Vaynah", and under his leadership the dance group became recognized as one of the best in the

USSR. In 1979 he was appointed deputy director of the regional philharmonic society, and from 1986 to 1993 he served as director of the "Estrada" public association.[3]

Since the late 1980s Geshaev has been a prolific writer of poetry, and many of his poems have been made into songs which are played in concerts halls and on television and radio.[3] Chechen bard Imam Alimsultanov sang several of Geshaev's poems.

Copies of his book, Famous Chechens, were reportedly detained at Russian customs offices, although Geshaev said in an interview that the subject matter was on Chechen heroes throughout

Soviet history, not on Chechen rebels.[4]

Awards

September 9, 2005 was awarded the Order of Merit.[5]

In 2006, he was awarded the Franz Kafka Gold Medal.[6] In 2007 he was awarded a gold medal at a poetry competition in Paris.
