Keywords:

This article examines the regional dimensions of Soviet repression policies, with a specific focus on Uzbekistan. While Soviet political terror followed a centrally orchestrated plan, the implementation of repressive measures across various Soviet republics, including Uzbekistan, reflected unique local dynamics. Through archival records, case studies, and historical analysis, the paper highlights how repression in Uzbekistan targeted local elites, religious figures, and intellectuals, and was shaped by the broader imperial objectives of Moscow. The study also investigates the cultural and social consequences of repression in the Uzbek SSR and its enduring impact on national memory.
