No copyright: Historians from Central Asia spoke about the Soviet legacy An international conference was held in Bishkek, which brought together historians from six countries - Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. Topic: "Nation building and national policy in the Soviet Union" - on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the 1936 constitution. Until recently, it was impossible to imagine it at a high scientific level - it was customary to simply "throw mud at the past". Times are changing. Key points: KNU Rector Dogdurbek Chontoeev: Large-scale transformations determined the administrative-territorial structure, management system, education and culture - "important stages in the formation of the Kyrgyz state." Secretary of State of the Kyrgyz Republic Arslan Kuichiev: The historical experience had a "fundamental impact" on institutions, languages ​​and social processes in the republics of the former Soviet Union. Ruslan Ggakov ("The History of the Homeland"): The achievements of those decades "even today constitute an important part of the common historical heritage of our people". A separate block - how historical memory is structured today. Vadim Rinkov (SB RAS) noted: In Kazakhstan, the events of the 1920s and 1930s are associated with the "resurgence of statehood", and republican leaders are presented as "fighters for independence", silent about the oppression and pressure from the center. Also, we will discuss who "paid" for the industrialization, the raising of virgin land and the foundation of the agricultural industry, and why the resources that build the image of the "Evil Empire" are so sought after.
