️ Bishkek hosted an international conference that brought together historians from six countries - Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. Subject: "National construction and national policy in the Soviet Union" - for the 90th anniversary of the 1936 constitution. Until recently it was not possible to imagine such a thing at a high scientific level - the past was simply done with "dirty". Times are changing. Rector of KNU Dogdurbek Chontoev: The large-scale transformations determined the administrative-territorial structure, management system, education and culture - "important stages in the creation of the Kyrgyz state". KR State Secretary Arslan Koychiev: historical experience has a "financial impact" on institutions, languages and social processes in the republics of the former Soviet Union. Ruslan Gagkoev (History of the Motherland): The achievements of those decades "make up an important part of the common historical heritage of our people". A separate block is how historical memory is constructed today. Vadim Rynkov (SO RAS) noted that in Kazakhstan, the events of the 1920s and 1930s are associated with the "revolution of the state", and the leaders of the republic are represented as "fighters for independence", maintaining the oppression and pressure of the center. It is also said who "paid" for industrialization, the cultivation of virgin soil and the basis of a plant, and why the resources that build the image of the "evil empire" are in such demand.
