Military-People's Administration in Osh

Police Administration in the City At the end of the 19th century, the district authorities consisted of the district chief, who had broad powers over the urban and rural population, his assistant-secretary, a clerk, and the so-called written translator. However, judging by documents from the early 20th century, the city economic committee, composed of wealthy townspeople (an advisory and powerless body), was still considered a passive appendage to the district chief, serving as a facade for

"Traces of the Ancient Beliefs of the Kyrgyz in the Epic 'Manas'"

Religion in the Epic "Manas" Comparing variants recorded from the words of different narrators, it is easy to notice not only thematic and plot coincidences but also certain similarities. They sometimes concern the composition of the epic; for example, the campaigns of Manas to the North and West are only mentioned by the narrator Sagymbay Orozbakov, while the pilgrimage of Chubak to Mecca is noted by Sayakbay Karalaev. Sometimes the well-known motif of the unification of Kyrgyz

Babakhanov and the chairman of the regional union "Koshchi" R. Khudaikulov. Their "connections" with the so-called "exploiters" had nothing criminal, illegal, or political

Unanswered Letters of Yu. Abdrakhmanov to Stalin

On the Distortion of the National Policy of the Party in Practical Work The ineffectiveness of the triple planning system, amid the gradual weakening and reduction of the role of the all-federal national governing body, was evident. All three planning and regulatory bodies (the USSR, the RSFSR, and the Central Asian) believed that the implementation of the planned activities in the republic should proceed along a different subordination line, "nodding to each other."

Four Kyrgyz Types of Settlements

Kyrgyz Settlements The character of the settlement, as well as the dwellings themselves, shows great diversity in southern Kyrgyzstan, influenced by a number of historical, social, economic, and geographical factors. Kyrgyz villages in the 19th and early 20th centuries were sharply different from the Tajik and Uzbek villages bordering them. The latter were characterized by narrow (straight and winding) streets with high walls surrounding each homestead.

The Plight of the Kyrgyz in 1918. A Letter to V.I. Lenin

The Kyrgyz in 1918 The unification of the city council in Pishpek and in other cities of the country with the district executive committees was explained not only by the desire to eliminate parallelism in work or the wish to simplify the structure of power in the city, but also as a manifestation of a certain limitation of the independence of the city council. In most cases, city councils did not have their own budget and did not possess the necessary fullness of power. Meanwhile, under the

The Kyrgyz During the Bolshevization Period One should not think that the collective responsibility and subordination to one's clan, the traditional customs and norms were perceived by the nomad as a violation of human rights or an affront to his individuality. The clan structure and lifestyle were perceived not abstractly, but concretely — as an obligation to perform certain tasks, to herd livestock, to participate in raids, to protect the clan, to serve guests, at celebrations,

Soviet soldiers of all nationalities, in an incredibly difficult and complex situation, stood shoulder to shoulder, persistently and selflessly repelling the fierce onslaught of the enemy, going on the counterattack, and more than once forcing him to flee. One of the most brilliant pages in the history of the Great Patriotic War was written by the defenders of the border Brest Fortress.

For Central Asia, and indeed for the entire Islamic East, it was unprecedented for a Muslim woman to defy traditions and the will of her parents by leaving the husband chosen for her. Soon, she married Alymbek, the Datka of Alai, and after his death, she did not pass power to his brother or eldest son, but took it into her own hands.

Initially, the yurt retained its significance as the main dwelling. In winter, it was insulated. Later, the yurt became only a summer dwelling and was used
