He successfully graduated from technical school and institute, successfully worked, received knowledge and skills, and was sent to study at the Higher Diplomatic School in Moscow. After graduation, he was sent to the diplomatic service in the Yemen People's Republic with a very difficult political situation. During the next armed conflict in this country, S. Sundetbaev died in 1967 while ensuring the safety of employees and families of the Soviet embassy. The leadership of the Soviet state appreciated the heroism of the Kazakh diplomat and awarded the Order of Honor to him and placed the name of the diplomat on marble in the building of the ministry. If not for specialists and scientists in this field, the society of Kazakhstan would not have known about the heroic feat of the diplomat. The article is aimed at filling this shortcoming. The author of the article tried to analyze and detail the archival data on the diplomat regarding his school life and time spent at the Semipalatinsk Trade College. Moreover scientific focus was concentrated on the spelling of the diplomat’s name in some documents of the period.
