    Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 By Charles David Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor Professor Victoria E. Bonnell Summer 2015 Abstract Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 by Charles David Shaw Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation addresses the impact of World War II on Uzbek society and contends that the war era should be seen as seen as equally transformative to the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s for Soviet Central Asia. It argues that via the processes of military service, labor mobilization, and the evacuation of Soviet elites and common citizens that Uzbeks joined the broader “Soviet people” or sovetskii narod and overcame the prejudices of being “formerly backward” in Marxist ideology. The dissertation argues that the army was a flexible institution that both catered to national cultural (including Islamic ritual) and linguistic difference but also offered avenues for assimilation to become Ivan-Uzbeks, part of a Russian-speaking, pan-Soviet community of victors. Yet as the war wound down the reemergence of tradition and violence against women made clear the limits of this integration. The dissertation contends that the war shaped the contours of Central Asian society that endured through 1991 and created the basis for thinking of the “Soviet people” as a nation in the 1950s and 1960s.

Democratic course of development of our nation was reflected in the positive shifts in the judicial and legal reforms, which translated into enhanced role, independence and specialization of the courts, development of civil society spurred by the increasing public and political engagement of citizens, more robust involvement of political parties in nation-building, and advancing multilateral international cooperation featuring active economic contacts and humanitarian relations. New initiatives by Mr. Islam Karimov, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan to advance the profile of political parties reflected new facets of the concept of democratization and public renewal, and ultimate objectives of reforming and modernizing the nation in the long-run have reaffirmed Uzbekistan’s commitment to the welfare-oriented model of its development.

I explore how a deeply-held and territorially-oriented sense of collective belonging among the Kyrgyz developed within the Russian imperial context through the efforts of the Kyrgyz poets and intellectuals during the late tsarist period. I search for this sense of collective belonging in the literary culture of the northern Kyrgyz. In the absence of written culture, oral tradition served as the primary depository of the northern Kyrgyz collective memory. Oral poets were the ones who shaped group identities and created various versions of Kyrgyzness based on culture, lifestyle, religious belief, social practices, and moral values. By the late imperial period, these existing conceptions of Kyrgyzness served as a fertile ground for the first generation of Kyrgyz intellectuals to develop their own visions of Kyrgyz community. They started collecting and writing what they believed to be the history of their people, thus contributing to the creation of the nationalistic narrative and participating in a broader discourse on the nation in the intellectual circles of the Central Asian elites.

    SUMMARY INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION REPORT Supplementary Appendix to the Report and Recommendation of the President to the Board of Directors on the GRAIN PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UZBEKISTAN The IEE is available on request. 14 November 2003 Supplementary Appendix H 1 PART I: SUMMARY INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION A. INTRODUCTION 1. This report summarizes the results of the initial environmental examination (IEE), which investigated the Project’s negative and positive environmental effects. Quantitative descriptions will be given where the data allow. B. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 2. The Project is an agricultural improvement project that aims at increasing the efficiency and productivity of wheat cultivation in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner. The Project is classified as a category B project. 3. The proposed Project scope comprises four components: (i) wheat varietal selection and seed production; (ii) enhancement of farm management; (iii) agricultural enterprise development, including provision of farm machinery services; and (iv) project management. The last component will have no environmental impacts and is excluded from this examination. 4. The Project activities will center on three focus rayons (districts) of Kuyi-Chirchik (in Tashkent oblast), Zamin (Djizak) and Katakurgan (Samarkand). The areas of the three rayons are 146,778 ha, 286,000 ha and 56,000 ha, respectively. The Project will provide broader assistance (introduction to new varieties, seed production quality control, extension technologies) to five provinces (oblasts) of Uzbekistan. These are Tashkent, Syrdarya, Djizak, Samarkand, and Kashkadarya. They are located in the central-east and south-eastern regions of the country. C.
