TY - GEN N1 - p. 119-168 N1 - Summary in English and Russian. N2 - This article is retrospective in nature and covers the subject of social and political influence of the Soviet Union in Central Asia, as well as several factors strictly associated with this region, e.g. the religion of Islam and regional nationalisms. Based on a broad spectrum of research with primary focus on the region’s historical background, the content covers the key periods of development of modern Central Asia and evokes the most evident examples of Soviet activity in the area. The social issues, as well as legal and administrative matters addressed in the article acquire new importance in connection with Moscow’s current geopolitical activity interms of its vested interests. From this point of view, this article depicts the parallel between the Russian Federation’s foreign policies and its instruments, and the internal policy of the Soviet Union, in which the former is deeply rooted.
