Russian in Post-Soviet Central Asia
Since the collapse of the USSR, Russian-language skills have declined significantly throughout Central Asia among the titular and other local ethnic groups. Nevertheless, even in countries with minute Slavic minorities, Russian continues to be used for many different types of communication, and enjoys a high level of prestige, including in higher education and in top levels of professional, economic and political spheres. The use of Russian in el…

This article is devoted to the symbolic aspects of language and power in the four Turkic-speaking republics of Central Asia—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Much of the discussi
Language vitality and paths to revival
Russian Imperial and subsequent Soviet policies resulted in the Russian language acquiring a very important role in education and the workplace in both Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. The extent of the penetration of the Russian language was shaped by the unique constellation of factors for each republic, including geographic, historical, demographic, and political moments. Even in the Soviet era, however, the titular language maintained a much larger…

Problems of Language Law Implementation in Uzbekistan
In October 1989, Uzbekistan's Supreme Soviet adopted the law “On the State Language of the Uzbek SSR.” At that time, Uzbekistan was still one of the 15 constituent republics of the USSR. The law was an important symbol of Uzbekistan's changing relation to Russia and the assertion of the preeminence of Uzbek culture in Uzbekistan
Policy Toward Islam in Uzbekistan in the Gorbachev Era
This study examines the transformation of policy toward Islam in Uzbekistan during the Gorbachev era. It considers both Moscow's policy and, as Uzbekistan began to achieve greater control over its own affairs, the policy of the republic's leaders. The article begins by placing the changes in policy toward Islam in the broader context of emerging Soviet policy toward religion during the middle of the 1960s. It then examines some of the All-Union a…
The Modern Uzbeks from the Fourteenth Century to the Present
Soviet Central Asia
Despite the central government's attempts to assimilate the USSR's non-Russian peoples, the outlying republics - especially those in Central Asia - have resisted strongly. This book analyzes Soviet policy toward the region over the past few decades. The contributors examine the mechanisms through which the central, Communist Party-led government sought to achieve its aims and assess the results of those efforts within the region's social, politic…
