To date, approximately thirty translations by Jusipbek Aimauytuly are known, but the original texts of some have yet to be found. The available translations have been linguistically analysed in several studies, often in comparison with the corresponding Russian texts. However,since Jusipbek Aimauytuly was not merely a translator but also a political figure, the so-called “inaccuracies”in his translations cannot be examined solely from a linguistic perspective. Traditional assessments of translation as “accurate”or “inaccurate”fail to fully explain the textual modifications. Therefore, studying J.Aimauytuly's translations within their socio-political context through the lens of “rewriting”theory provides a more comprehensive understanding of their underlying motivations.This study identifies the purposes behind the translator’s use of adaptation strategies and describes their key components–selected themes and applied methods. Following the methodological framework of rewriting theory, the research involved compiling translated texts, coding them, and categorizing them based on themes and translation methods. The findings were then compared with the works of J. Aimauytuly and his contemporaries, whose writings reflect their political views. As a result, new insights were gained regarding the nature and implications of Aimauytuly's translations as a political figure.
