Abstract

Annotation: This article examines Erkin A'zam’s novella The Din as a reflection of the social and ideological changes of the post-Soviet period in Uzbekistan. It focuses on themes of identity, memory, and individual consciousness during the turbulent 1990s. The study analyzes the protagonist’s experience as a representation of broader historical transformation and highlights the author’s use of psychological realism and multi-layered narrative structure. The article concludes that The Din combines national context with universal human issues, offering insight into personal and social change.
