The Tajik-Uzbek Divide: Stalin's Nationality Policy in Central Asia

8 min•10 maj 2026

In the early 1920s, the Bolsheviks carved Central Asia into new republics along supposed ethnic lines. This episode explores how the 1924 National Delimitation of Soviet Central Asia created the Uzbek and Tajik SSRs, splitting the ancient cities of Samarkand and Bukhara from their Persian-speaking hinterlands. Lucas and Luna discuss the controversial map-drawing decisions, the rise of Tajik national consciousness, and the lasting legacy of borders that still fuel tensions today. Featuring the role of Stalin, the Young Bukharans, Fayzulla Xo'jayev, and the Tajik intellectual Sadriddin Ayni, this episode reveals how Soviet engineering remade regional identities.
