Mustafa Chokaev:The National Movement in Central Asia

Цитата:
Mustafa Chokaev (Chokay-ogly) (1890-1941) was born into an aristocratic family in what is now Uzbekistan. He was a first-class student at the law faculty of St Petersburg University, and from 1913 to 1917 worked as secretary to the Moslem faction at the 4th State Duma. After February 1917 he was one of the founders of the Shura-i-Islamiya (Moslem Council) party. His political and journalistic work was directed towards self-government for Turkestan (the name then used to describe much of Central Asia). After the Bolsheviks took power, he was involved in anti-Bolshevik politics in Ufa in 1918 and in Georgia in 1919. He emigrated in 1920, and lived in Turkey, France and Germany. He died in unexplained circumstances in Berlin. This memoir of the events of the end of 1917 was written in November 1926.
