FORMATION OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ENTITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF KYRGYZSTAN

Abstract

The relevance of the research topic owes to the fact that today’s independent Kyrgyz Republic originated in the era of the Kyrgyz great power and as part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet period and the Kyrgyz have managed to form their own socio-political entity in the region. The goal of the study is to demonstrate the positive and negative aspects of the formation of Kyrgyz statehood and the Kyrgyz elite. The authors examine the Kyrgyz great power period, the Soviet period, and the modern period of independence. A historical analysis of the periods of the Kyrgyz state shows how the Kyrgyz succeeded in forming their own socio-political entity in the region. The confession of Islam, the affiliation of the original Kyrgyz aristocracy with the Kipchaks, and respect for the authority of the Chinggisids allowed the Kyrgyz to take an important place in the history of Central Asia.
