  • Bukharan and Russian Monarchies in the Inter-Revolutionary Period
    The Last Days of the Emir: Bukharan and Russian Monarchies in the Inter-Revolutionary Period By Casey E. Smith A Study Presented to the Faculty of Wheaton College In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for Graduation with Departmental Honors In Russian Studies Norton, Massachusetts May 10, 2020 2 Introduction Russia and Bukhara in the Early Twentieth Century In Western European travelogues of journeys to the Emirate of Bukhara, one of the more frequently mentioned landmarks of the city of Bukhara is the one hundred fifty foot tall Kalyan minaret in its center, from which the last Emirs of the Manghit Dynasty hurled prisoners to their death. After the decree of Bukhara as a protectorate of the Russian Empire in 1873, the despotism of the last emirs was widely evaluated by the literature of Western travel authors, Russian bureaucrats, and Bukharan reformists alike. Meanwhile, in 1906 Nicholas II read his statements to the First State Duma, decreeing that he would still maintain his autocratic power despite the attempts at democracy the Duma embodied. Ironically, the parliament —established after strikes and peasant uprisings— sat in the glittering halls of Russia’s grand Tauride palace. While Emir Mohammed Alim Khan witnessed the destruction of the Emirate at the hands of both Russian imperialists and reformers within the Emirate, Nicholas II faced a similar threat of complete delegitimization of his power. In the early years of the twentieth century, the Russian Empire consisted of most of its modern day territory as well as modern-day Finland, and the Central Asian lands as far as Afghanistan and modern-day Iran.
