  • Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov
    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

  • Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History
    humanities Article Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History Craig Benjamin Frederik J Meijer Honors College, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 23 May 2018; Accepted: 9 July 2018; Published: 20 July 2018 Abstract: Central Asia has one of the deepest and richest histories of any region on the planet. First settled some 6500 years ago by oasis-based farming communities, the deserts, steppe and mountains of Central Asia were subsequently home to many pastoral nomadic confederations, and also to large scale complex societies such as the Oxus Civilization and the Parthian and Kushan Empires. Central Asia also functioned as the major hub for trans-Eurasian trade and exchange networks during three distinct Silk Roads eras. Throughout much of the second millennium of the Common Era, then under the control of a succession of Turkic and Persian Islamic dynasties, already impressive trading cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand were further adorned with superb madrassas and mosques. Many of these suffered destruction at the hands of the Mongols in the 13th century, but Timur and his Timurid successors rebuilt the cities and added numerous impressive buildings during the late-14th and early-15th centuries. Further superb buildings were added to these cities by the Shaybanids during the 16th century, yet thereafter neglect by subsequent rulers, and the drying up of Silk Roads trade, meant that, by the mid-18th century when expansive Tsarist Russia began to incorporate these regions into its empire, many of the great pre- and post-Islamic buildings of Central Asia had fallen into ruin.

BIZHANOVA2 1Department of Eurasian Studies, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Nur-Sultan, Republic of Kazakhstan 2Department of History of Kazakhstan, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the pressing issues of Kazakh historiography – the problems of the formation of the ethnic territory of the Kazakh people. The ethnic territory of the Kazakh people is the national borders of today’s Republic of Kazakhstan, inherited from the nomadic ancestors – the Kazakh Khanate. Uluses are a distinctive feature of the social structure of nomads, Zhuzes are one of the Kazakh nomads. In this regard, our goal is to determine their role in shaping the ethnic territory of the Kazakh people. To do this, a comparative analysis will be made according to different data and historiographic materials, in addition, the article will cover the issues of the appearance of the zhuzes system in Kazakh society and its stages. As a result of this work, the authorial offers are proposed – the hypothesis of the gradual formation of the ethnic territory and the Kazakh zhuzes system. Keywords: Kazakh historiography, Middle ages, the Mongol period, Kazakh Khanate, gradual formation. The formation of the ethnic territory of the Kazakh people is closely connected not only with the political events of the period under review, but with ethnic processes. Kazakhs consist of many clans and tribes that have their hereditary clan territories.

In the article considers with the problem of the steppe memory of a nomad within the limits of memory studies. The article deals with the problem of nomad steppe memory in the framework of memory studies.Steppe memory is presented as a system of intuitive memories from the past to the present and future. The movement of the steppe memory in time and space is investigated by means of codes. The scientific paper states, that cultural codes are carriers of the steppe memory, identity, knowledge, values and represent the internal historical, cultural reserves and heritage of the steppe civilization. The representation of steppe memory occurs through visual and cultural codes. Visual and cultural codes are the specific language for the transfer of national identifiers. The visual codes of the Kazakh nomad consist in the remodeling of the steppe memory through the art of the artists of Kazakhstan in the XXI century. The scientific paper attempts to make sense of the cultural code of the Kazakh culture through the visualization of two frequently encountered images - the image of a woman and a yurt. Comprehension of cultural codes occurs in the historical and philosophical feedback of the woman’s image in the Turkic and Kazakh culture.

  • Research Article the Language of the Aral Sea Peoples
    January 2021 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Research Article Sociolinguistics ETHNOGRAPHISMS IN THE LEXICON OF UZBEK DIALECTS IN Keywords: ethnolinguistics, ethnography, dialect, ethnogenesis, Aramaic script, REPUBLIC OF KARAKALPAKSTAN Khorezmian language. Nurjanov Oybek Erkin ogli Teacher of Karakalpak State University. City Nukus, Uzbekistan. Abstract This article deals with the ethnography of words in the lexicon of the population of Karakalpakstan formed in ethnolinguistic conditions. In particular, in the ethnolinguistic context of the language of the peoples of the Aral Sea, the main source of ethnography in the region is the clash of different nations and cultures. The ethnogenesis of these peoples (Karakalpak, Uzbek, Turkmen) dates back to antiquity, the history of which is still unclear. In addition, this complex ethno-linguistic process in the Khorezm oasis has left its mark on the language of Khorezmians and modern Khorezm peoples described in detail on the basis of examples. Also, after the settlement of the Karakalpaks in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya, the Kazakhs and small Juz Kazakhs lived in the area together. It is argued that the existence of grammatical similarities has attracted the attention of many linguists. The language of the Aral Sea peoples was formed in a very complex ethnolinguistic context. Because different peoples and cultures clash in this region. Linguists who have studied the linguistic features of the region have noted that the study of the region in terms of its linguistic features poses a number of historical linguistic problems. One of the most important of these problems is the history of the formation of these dialects and their relationship with other ethnic groups that are genetically part of the Uzbek people.

  • The Last Khan of the Siberian Land the History of Downfall of the Khanate Of
    The last khan of the Siberian land The history of downfall of the Khanate of Sibir is one of the most littlestudied pages in this state’s history. The Khanate of Sibir emerged over the course of the Juchid state collapse; in different forms it existed over the 15th-16th centuries. The history of Western Siberia (Siberian jurt) has passed several stages, related to the given region peculiarities. In the 1220s Western Siberia was conquered by Juchi khan and consequently it entered his state. These lands had been divided between different branches of Juchi descendants. At the period of final disintegration of Juchid Empire in the end of the 14th - beginning of the 15th century, the lands of Western Siberia were mostly under power of several semi-independent Shaybanid rulers. In 1428-1432 one of those rulers Abu’l-Khayr Khan managed to unite all these territories under his power and established an independent state with its centre in Chimgi-Tura (in history this state became known as Uzbek khanate or the state of nomadic Uzbeks). In 1446-1448 the centre of this state formation moved to the south, to the area of Sygnak on Syr Darya, and the first independent state formation, Syberian Shaybanid state, got founded on lands of Western Siberia. Siberian Shaybanid khanate reached its zenith under Saeid Ibrakhim Khan (second half of the 15th century). His death (around 1494) led to the state’s rapid decay. Eventually, the state of Siberian Shaybanids ceased to exist in the end of the first decade of the 16th century.

For example, even in the relatively centralized Samanid state (late ninth and tenth centuries) there existed a number of variants in monetary circulation. The local variants cannot all be compared on equal terms, both because of constraints of space and because of the differing degrees to which these variants have been studied. We shall thus concentrate on one sub-region, that of Transoxania. For other regions, the main differences vis-à-vis Transoxania will be noted.

Oral Tradition ABSTRACT The origin and development of statehood in the territory of Kazakhstan dates back to a long time. Alasha the Khan is certainly the nominal, generalized image of that era. Horse-breeding tribes created the very first nomadic civilization in the world which were far ahead compared to the others on labor productivity level, on benefit to the individual and as a way of improving the economy, it is as well in harmony with nature. In this environment, there was a feeling of statehood among the people and this subsequently made far and close neighbours stick together. The formation of Kazakh khanate is connected with the political disintegration of the Golden Horde at the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The events connected with the falling of the Golden Horde and the formation of the Kazakh Khanate have found a reflection in the Kazakh historical legends and in monuments.

  • Are Central Asian Muslims? a Historical and Comparative Enquiry
    How “Muslim” are Central Asian Muslims? A Historical and Comparative Enquiry Accepted version of an article published in Central Asian Affairs: Yemelianova, Galina M. “How “Muslim” are Central Asian Muslims? A Historical and Comparative Enquiry”, Central Asian Affairs 4, 3 (2017): 243-269. Galina M. Yemelianova Centre for Russian, European and Eurasian Studies, Birmingham University, UK [email protected] Abstract The article analyzes the social, political, and symbolic functions of Islam in contemporary Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. Over many centuries, Central Asians developed a particular form of Islam based on a productive and fluid synergy among Islam per se, their tribal legal and customary norms, and Tengrian and Zoroastrian beliefs and practices. It is characterized by a high level of doctrinal and functional adaptability to shifting political and cultural environments, the prevalence of mystical Islam (Sufism) and oral, rather than book-based, Islamic tradition. These qualities have defined distinctive Islamic trajectories in post-Soviet Central Asia, which differ significantly from those in other Muslim-majority countries and in Muslim communities in the West. At the same time, the common Eurasian space and lengthy shared political history of Central Asians and other peoples of Muslim Eurasia are also reflected in the considerable similarities in their Islamic trajectories. Keywords Central Asia – Eurasia – Russia – Silk Road – Nomadism – Islam – Sufism – Jihadism Central Asia1—defined here as the post-Soviet republics of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan—remains rather poorly 1 Here the term “Central Asia” is used in the narrow sense, referring to the five post-Soviet states of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan.
