* In 1932, the Tian Shan region as an administrative unit did not yet exist—it was formed only in 1938 as the Tian Shan district. At that time, the territory of the modern central districts of the Kyrgyz SSR was part of the Naryn canton, which included areas such as At-Bashy, Jumgal, and Naryn, with its center in Naryn. The economy of the region was primarily based on livestock breeding in the highlands.
