Aggravation of the soviet government's attitude towards clergy and religious institutions in the turkestan autonomous soviet socialist republic

This article describes the policy pursued against Muslim clerics and Islamic religious organizations during the years of Soviet rule and its consequences.In Turkestan, and later in Uzbekistan, the old-fashioned schools continued to operate in the 1920s. These schools, which have a centuries-old tradition, are the main link in the process of literacy of the local population. Undoubtedly, in Muslim Turkestan, where religious beliefs and values are strong, the population, despite Soviet propaganda, paid great attention to the education of his children in religious schools. That is why the Soviets intensified their policy of sovietizing these schools.
