Abstract
Memoirs are one of the important types of historical sources. The article first gives a general overview of memoirs on the Soviet period in the history of Uzbekistan. The classification of memoirs by their ideological orientation and time of writing is given. The characteristic features of memoirs belonging to the pen of various groups of memoirists – veterans of the revolution, civil and Great Patriotic Wars, party and Soviet workers, literary and art workers, are revealed. The author shows the flaws inherent in individual groups of memoirs that require a critical approach to their use as historical sources. It is concluded that although a significant part of the memoirs of this period is saturated with the spirit of communist ideology, nevertheless, the critical use of this layer of sources in conjunction with documentary materials and other sources will help to recreate the real picture of the life of Soviet society
