1. In the USSR, the Uzbek ethnos was part of the “multinational Soviet people” as part of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic – UzSSR, and neighboring Soviet republics.
The state language throughout the USSR was Russian, including the UzSSR.
All the natural and human resources of the USSR were at the complete disposal of the communist government in Moscow.
All were obliged to work only in state structures. Private enterprise was strictly prohibited.
In the USSR, the Uzbek ethnos, like the entire population of the USSR, was rigidly isolated by protected borders from the peoples of the rest of the world.
2. After the collapse of the USSR, the former leadership of the UzSSR declared this territory an independent sovereign state – the Republic of Uzbekistan under its administration.
In essence, the communist power was preserved – the same as in the USSR an authoritarian command and control system led by Islam Karimov, with the complete dominance of officers of the former KGB of the USSR
All natural resources were actually owned by this government.
The population of the country was forced to live by the rules of this government and work forcibly, all discontent and dissent was brutally suppressed.
3. After the death of Islam Karimov, a centralized administrative-command system continued to operate in Uzbekistan with nothing to do with the unlimited power of the country’s president.
Mass forced labor of rural residents on state cotton and wheat plantations persists.
The Uzbek ethnos in Uzbekistan actually continues to exist as economically and politically disenfranchised dispersed employees to serve the presidential administration. Millions of Uzbeks are forced to work in low-paid jobs in Russia.
This position of the Uzbek ethnos makes it impossible for it to organize itself into the political nation of Uzbekistan.
When all the country’s natural resources are in the unrestricted disposal of the government of this country, there is a great corruption and even political risk of transferring these resources to foreign states under the guise of a long-term lease, as is the case in Tajikistan.
Now the government of Uzbekistan announces the formation of free economic agricultural zones, and invites foreign companies to work in them. For example, according to media reports, “the Chinese side has expressed interest in investing in the newly created FEZ” Bukhoro-agro. “
4. The Uzbeks living in Kyrgyzstan were more fortunate – they received the ownership of the land on which they worked in the USSR. Only in Kyrgyzstan land reform was carried out and irrigated land was transferred to the ownership of the population itself.
