A New Phase of Political Repression (In the Case of Samarkand Region)

In this article, the persecution of scientific and artistic intellectuals by the Soviet state in Uzbekistanis a true reflection of the arbitrariness and violence of the authoritarian regime that ruled at that time. The ruling regime directed its first blow at a group of writers and poets of the republic, because their worldview and creativity did not correspond to the model of communist ideology. The main excuse for defamation was that they allegedly "introduced" nationalist ideas into their works. Communist ideology consciously mixed the awareness of national identity with "nationalism", acting shamelessly andwithout proof, using all the forms and methods of fighting against them, which existed in the "red empire", and sought to repress and destroy the intellectuals of Uzbekistan. The evidence collected during the research is carefully examined and evaluated from a scientific point of view.
