Kyrgyzstan

Preserving Kyrgystan's History

*

While scholars have spent a great deal of time combing through archives in Moscow and studying how the major events of the Soviet period affected Russia, much less of this type of research has been done on Central Asia. But the people of the five former Soviet republics of Central Asia – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan – experienced the Soviet period in different ways than Russians or Eastern Europeans.

This project was designed to collect and preserve some of their experiences. None of the researchers involved in this project were historians. For that reason, the goal of the project was simply to collect these stories before their tellers are no longer around to share them. We hope that they will be interpreted and analyzed by future historians.
