Abstract: Sagit Ramiev was born on February 12 (24), 1880, in the village of Akman (Ibrai) in the Orenburg province.By his origin, he came from the noble family of the Ramievs, who gave Tatar literature, if we take into account Derdemend, two great poets.His father Lutfulla was educated, he traded in wood.He was also hired by wealthy wood producers to fuse wood [Sadretdinov, 1980, p. 5].At the end of his days, he was an unremarkable mullah in his village [Ayupova-Ramieva, 2005, p. 114].As S.
