The Slavs in Central Asia

Ethnic and social trends: The End of the 19th - 20th centuries

This book is about the destiny of Russian and Ukrainian migrants who found themselves in Central Asia more then a hundred years ago. What happened to the descendants of the founders of the pioneer villages, who were isolated from the main ethnic core for the length of a century? How did old Slavic residents adapt to the unfamiliar natural and climatic circumstances? How did their relations with the native population emerge? What has been transformed in their culture and mode of life under the influence of the ethnically alien population? This book is based upon original field materials collected by the author in 1985-1993, which include interviews with the inhabitants of former pioneer settlements of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kirgizia. Other sources were various statistical and archive documents and press.
