The Khanate of Kokand: Central Asia's Last Great Khanate

6 min•17 maj 2026

In this episode of The Story of Uzbekistan, Lucas and Luna explore the rise and fall of the Khanate of Kokand, the last great khanate to emerge in Central Asia before Russian conquest. They discuss its founding by Shahrukh Bi of the Ming tribe, the architectural legacy of Alim Khan and Umar Khan, and the cultural flourishing under the poet Nodira. The episode covers the khanate's expansion into the Ferghana Valley, Tashkent, and the Kazakh steppe; its rivalry with the Emirate of Bukhara; and the role of the Kipchak nomads in internal strife. Lucas explains how Kokand fell to the Russian Empire after the Battle of Uzun-Agach in 1864, and how its last ruler, Khudayar Khan, became a Russian vassal. The episode ends with a reflection on Kokand's legacy in modern Uzbekistan.
