Events for the Protection and Study of Burana in the Early Years of Soviet Power

Resolution of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the Turkestan Republic The resolution of 1917 found the Burana settlement in a deplorable state. In the beginning, the temptation to use bricks from the minaret noticeably increased among the population of Tokmak, and by 1919, due to the complete impunity of such actions, it took on a threatening character. This was partially halted by the spontaneously awakened interest of the broad public in

Excavations and Surveys in Pre-Soviet Kyrgyzstan

Excavations by F. V. Poyarkov at the Burana Settlement In the late 19th century, Semirechye attracted the attention of several all-Russian archaeological organizations due to unexpected discoveries. In the summer of 1885, land surveyor V. A. Andreyev, who was working on mapping the cultural lands of Jetysu, a prominent local historian fluent in several local languages and the author of several literary and ethnographic works, including translations of folk works from Uzbek and Tajik,

The First Mentions of the Area and the Minaret of Buran

Legends about the "Burana Tower" The term minaret, widely used in European contexts, originates from the Arabic word minar (a place where something is lit — a lantern, lighthouse) or miiara (a watchtower, pillar, minaret of a mosque). In the latter sense, in local pronunciation among Tajiks and Uzbeks, it is meiaré, and among some Turkic ethnic groups in Central Asia, it is men ar. Among the local population living in the former northern Kyrgyz region of Jeni-Su (Semirechye), and in

Natural Useful Flora of Kyrgyzstan

Groups of Useful Plant Species in Kyrgyzstan Currently, useful substances have been found not only in flowering plants but also in spore plants. According to S. Ya. Shostakovsky, simpler carbohydrates, proteins, resins, and wax are present in mosses, alkaloids in clubmosses, and toxic substances in algae; seed ferns contain oils, and lichens have lichen acids used in medicine. The study of spore-bearing higher plants, as well as algae, fungi, and lichens, will undoubtedly increase the number

Analysis of the Flora of Kyrgyzstan

50% of the Flora of Kyrgyzstan Consists of the Largest Number of Useful Species Analyzing the distribution of useful species across families, we observe an interesting picture. Out of 115 families found in Kyrgyzstan, only 18 contain a more or less significant number of useful species (896). These same 18 families, in terms of the number of species (1720), make up almost 50% of the flora of Kyrgyzstan. Therefore, the families that are represented in Kyrgyzstan by numerous species also contain

Wealth and Diversity of the Flora of Kyrgyzstan

The flora of Kyrgyzstan is rich and diverse. It is the sole source of plant raw materials for medicine, many sectors of agriculture, and industry. Therefore, the rational use of plant resources is one of the main problems of modern biology. As mentioned above, on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, which covers an area of 198,000 km², there are 3,786 species of higher flowering plants alone, not counting mosses, lichens, algae, fungi, and other plants that also contain useful substances.
