On Research on the History of the Russian Empire Period of the Fergana Valley (1991-2020)

Abstract

The history of the Fergana Valley is a part of the history of our country and the entire Central Asian peoples. At different stages of history, the Fergana Valley was distinguished by its natural and geographical conditions, culture, and customs of its inhabitants. But this does not mean that the history and culture of the valley was separated from other regions of our country, on the contrary, this region has developed in close connection with other regions of Central Asia. The valley has a special place in the history of Uzbek statehood. It is impossible to imagine the history of our dear Uzbekistan without the ancient Dovan state, the Kokhan Khanate, and the autonomy of Turkestan, which exist here.

Studying the history of states formed in different periods of our history in the Fergana Valley, which is one of the important points of Uzbek statehood, expands the level of studying the history of Uzbek statehood. But during the Soviet period, due to various political and ideological reasons, insufficient attention was paid to the study of the history of the valley. Nowadays, scientists, especially young researchers, are earnestly committed to studying the history of the valley. In this regard, the research of the historiography of the history of the Fergana Valley, the analysis of its development stages, the summarization of the achievements in this regard, and the identification of existing problems are of urgent importance.
