The Mughals, Uzbeks, and the Timurid Legacy

June 2017

This chapter analyzes the most emblematic of Mughal monuments to determine what aspects might have been intended to evoke Timurid architecture. The systematic study of Timurid architecture began with the invasion of the czarist Russian armies into the Timurid heartland in the second half of the nineteenth century. The government sponsored ambitious projects to conserve these impressive buildings. ... [Show full abstract] This activity was continued under the Soviet governments of the newly formed republics of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. Most Timurid cities had a fortified citadel, usually tangent to the city walls. In Samarqand the citadel lay just south of the Registan square. The Timurid building type that illustrates a love for symmetry is the centralized plan of eight parts around a central core, the hasht-bihisht (eight heavens). The chapter discusses the features which represent innovative techniques of construction under the Timurids that eventually became standard features of Central Asian, Iranian, and, in a modified form, Mughal architecture.

Socioeconomic Dimensions of Child Labor in Central Asia

May 2011 · Problems of Economic Transition

Bilal Ahmad Bhat

The issue of child labor cannot be addressed in isolation. It is symptomatic of a broad failure to establish a system for the development of agriculture in Uzbekistan and of a more diversified economy that could reduce reliance on cotton exports. The cotton industry revolves around using the cheapest laborâschool-aged children are regularly involved in forced cotton picking. They spend up to two ... [Show full abstract] months out of the school year in cotton fields. Educational institutions and local governments condone students' absence from classes to participate in cotton picking. Living and working conditions for children involved in cotton picking are often cruel and inhuman, including at the hands of their overseers. While the demand for child labor is endemic to the current operations of the cotton sector in Uzbekistan, it is imperative to determine whether the types of recruitment and work conditions to which children are subjected qualify as the worst forms of child labor, as specified by International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention 182. This is the task of the present study.

Reconstructing Space: A Korean-Village Project in Russia's Primor'e

December 2017

Igor Saveliev

This paper examines an attempt to reconstruct ethnic Korean communities in the remote Russian region of the Primorsky krai (the Primor’e) in the late 1990s. In the late nineteenth – early twentieth century there was a big Korean community in the region. Ethnic Koreans were forcibly moved to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan during the Stalinist Purges in 1937. In the late 1980s – early 1990s, as all ... [Show full abstract] migration restrictions in the Soviet Union were relaxed, Koreans began moving away from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan mainly to Russia. Against this background, the governor of the Primorsky krai developed a set of policies for Korean migrants to attract them to the Krai. The Association of Small and Medium-Size Construction Companies in the Republic of Korea and some other Korean companies sponsored the construction of a Korean village near the city of Ussuriisk in the Krai and some other communities. Basing on empirical data gathered in the Primor’e and other sources, the paper explores the potential of community reconstruction of Korean communities in the Krai and the limits of this process in the context of return migration studies.

March 2001 · Atomic Energy

The geological division was created in 1951, and for 50 years it solved scientific problems concerning the development of the mineral-raw materials base of the nuclear industry and supplying the base with uranium and other required components. Geologists, mineralogists, and geophysicists from the division have worked in Ukraine, in Northern and Eastern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kirgizia and in ... [Show full abstract] many regions of the Russian Federation. A great deal of research was performed in the countries of Central Europe, and Mongolia, and recently in certain countries of Asia and Africa. The new scientific information obtained by the division st has made a large contribution to the study of ore deposits. Books and articles, which played a large role in the founding of a new scientific discipline – uranium geology, were published on the basis of this material. Geological and mineralogical schools for studying objects of radioactive raw material have been created and a large number of specialists have been trained in the division.
