THE NATIONAL POLICY OF THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT IN UZBEKISTAN (THE EXAMPLE OF THE ARMENIAN NATION)

Abstract

The Soviet state operated in the world in the 20th century as the most multinational state. During its activity, this state paid special attention to national issues, aiming to create a "Soviet citizen (nation)" by gradually integrating the initially small nations, and later the large nations, into the "great" Russian nation. To achieve these goals, the plan was to strike at religious beliefs first, that is, to root out religion, and secondly, to eliminate the culture formed over centuries as outdated waste. This plan was implemented over several decades. Although the policy of the Soviet government, at first glance, may seem like a policy that protects the interests of existing nations, in reality, its true objectives are revealed during our study of the sources.
