НАЦИОНАЛЬНАЯ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТЬ В ЦЕНТРАЛЬНОЙ АЗИИ

Abstract

Nationalization and the formation of a national state structure in the countries of Central Asia arose initially with the emergence of ethnic identity. The formation of ethnic identity in the countries of Central Asia is a process that began during the Tsarist era and was ultimately completed mainly during the Soviet Union. The formation of ethnic identity is the most important factor in social modernization in Central Asia. Since the formation of ethnic identity is an absolutely modern phenomenon. Modernization in Central Asia, in fact, was implemented in a top-down fashion. The rise of nations was carried out through the nation states developed by the Soviets. In other words, the nation states created during the period of the Union of Soviets in Central Asia are also creators of nations in the modern sense of the word.
