Autonomist Movement in Turkestan in the Period of the Revolutions of 1917
Abstract
The February revolution in Russia emphasized the national question in the space of the former Empire and became the impetus for the formation of national movements seeking to promote the interests of individual nationalities and regions in the national political process. The autonomist movement that originated in Turkestan after the revolution is interesting because it was an example of the first national political movement of the modern type of the indigenous population. Local nationalists have formulated a program of national selfdetermination of the population of the region in the form of national-territorial autonomy of Turkestan within the Russian Federal Republic and even tried to put it into practice, proclaiming in November 1917 the government of Turkestan autonomy. The radicalization of the Russian revolutionary process and the October Revolution together with the ideological and organizational immaturity of the national movement, political passivity of the broad strata of the indigenous population did not allow implementing the project of the Turkestan autonomy. However, the status of autonomy was retained by the Soviet government for Turkestan as the Soviet Republic within the RSFSR.
