Abstract

In the second half of the XIX century, there were dramatic transformational changes in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the peoples living in the Central Asian regions occupied by the Russian Empire. During this period, the imperialist policy of tsarist Russia not only turned the territory of the country into its own colony, but also caused great damage to the culture and spirituality of the local population.
