THE FORMATION OF UZBEK IDENTITY IN THE POST-JADIDISM PERIOD

Аннотация

The article examines the process of formation of Uzbek identity in the period of XX century. At the present time in Uzbekistan there is a process of rethinking and re-reading the activities of the Jadidis, a new concept has emerged, denoting the creation of cultural capital of the post-Jadid period. Post-jadidism is a certain historical process in the course of which, continuing the work of the Jadids, the Uzbek intelligentsia, under the pressure of the Red Empire, intensively created cultural capital in the field of culture, social sciences and humanities. The concept proposed by the authors of this article is called “post-Jadid” because the repressions carried out in Central Asia since 1937 did not end with this period. The remaining waves of these repressions occurred in 1950-55, 1983-87. Moreover, the execution of Makhmudkhodja Bekhbudi, the founder of Jadidism, fell in 1919, and the repressive nature of the death of Ibrakhim Muminov, an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR who rehabilitated the image of Amir Timur and returned his name to the Uzbek people during the colonial period, fell in 1974. These facts testify to the continuous nature of the repressive policy of the Red Empire.
