  • Growing up Soviet in the Periphery
    Growing Up Soviet in the Periphery: Imagining, Experiencing and Remembering Childhood in Kazakhstan, 1928-1953 by Mehmet Volkan Kaşıkçı A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved October 2020 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Laurie Manchester, Chair Agnes Kefeli Adrienne Edgar Anna Holian ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2020 ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses children and childhood in Soviet Kazakhstan from 1928 to 1953. By exploring images of, and for, children, and by focusing on children’s fates during and after the famine of 1930-33, I argue that the regime’s success in making children socialist subjects and creating the new Soviet person was questionable throughout the 1930s. The reach of Soviet ideological and cultural policies was limited in a decade defined by all kinds of shortcomings in the periphery which was accompanied by massive violence and destruction. World War 2 mobilized Central Asians and integrated the masses into the Soviet social and political body. The war transformed state- society relations and the meaning of being Soviet fundamentally changed. In this way, larger segments of society embraced the framework for Soviet citizenship and Soviet patriotism largely thanks to the war experience. This approach invites us to reconsider the nature of Sovietization in Central Asia by questioning the central role of ideology and cultural revolution in the formation of Soviet identities. My dissertation brings together images of childhood, everyday experiences of children and memory of childhood. On the one hand, the focus on children provides me an opportunity to discuss Sovietization in Central Asia.

  • Politics in Soviet Uzbekistan
    MYTH AND REALITY: POLITICS IN SOVIET UZBEKISTAN By Nicklas Norling A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April, 2014 © Nicklas Norling 2014 All Rights Reserved Abstract Few theories of politics in Soviet Uzbekistan have received greater attention, affirmation, and debate than the importance of regionalism, often depicted as manifested in elite “clans” or solidarity groups. Concentrated primarily in Tashkent, Samarkand, Ferghana, and to a lesser degree Khorezm, these groups are asserted to have been vying and scheming for power throughout the Soviet era. Three path-breaking works have been authored on the topic: Kathleen Collins’ Clan Politics and Regime Transition in Central Asia, Pauline Jones Luong’s Institutional Change and Political Continuity in Post-Soviet Central Asia, and Olivier Roy’s The New Central Asia. Two circumstances compel a reappraisal of this hypothesis. First and foremost, neither these contributions nor any of the dozens of scholarly articles published on the topic build on primary archival sources. This dissertation fills this lacunae. Second, conflicting claims regarding this proposition give room for doubt. Luong, for example, averred in the early 2000s that cadre recruitment on the basis of region of origin in Soviet Uzbekistan was “overt” and well-known. What is puzzling is that Irwin Selnick’s 500- page doctoral dissertation on elite recruitment in Uzbekistan, defended in 1984, did not even mention the possibility of such local favoritism, let alone using the concepts of “clan”, solidarity groups, or regionalism. If it was as overt as has been claimed and if the ii Politburo was filled with figures from Rashidov’s Samarkand why did Selnick not recognize it? The reason, this dissertation contends, is because the notion of “clans” and strong regionalism in Uzbekistan is largely a myth.
