ETHNIC PROCESSES IN UZBEKISTAN IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Abstract

Uzbekistan is located in the central part of Central Asia and has always been distinguished by its multi-ethnic composition. One can see the process of large-scale migration after the occupation of Central Asia by Russia and later during the Soviet regime. Initially Russians, Ukrainians, Kazan Tatars, Jews and so on.

The second phase of population migration coincides with the war and the post-war years. It is known that during this period Meskhetian Turks, Crimean Tatars, Baltic Jews, Germans and Koreans were evacuated from the Far East.

This article deals with the ethnic processes from the founding of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Uzbekistan on February 17, 1925 to the end of the twentieth century, their mechanisms, the desire to form a single Soviet nation, the processes of natural and artificial mixing of nations.
