The Tajik SSR: Uzbekistan's Persian-speaking Neighbor
Episode 154: The Tajik SSR — Uzbekistan's Persian-speaking neighbor. While previous episodes focused on Uzbek history, Tajikistan's story is deeply intertwined with the same Silk Road cities: Samarkand and Bukhara were majority Tajik-speaking before Stalin's 1924 border cuts. Lucas and Luna explore how Persianate culture survived under Soviet rule, the brief existence of the Tajik ASSR within the Uzbek SSR, and the controversial 1929 transfer of Khujand from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan. They discuss figures like Sadriddin Ayni, the father of Tajik literature, and the Purim Festival of 1934 that revived Persian poetry. The episode also touches on the legacy of the Tajik Civil War (1992–1997) and today's strained Uzbekistan–Tajikistan relations over water and borders.
