Özet:

In this study, the effects of the Soviet Nationality Policy on the Muslim-Turkish facts of Central Asia have been discussed. The Bolsheviks first promised self-determination pragmatically for the Muslim-Turkish facts. Then, towards the 1920s, the star of the Nationalities Policy rose in the world with Stalin's gaining power in the communist party. The Soviet Union was in competition with the developed European countries in many ways before the Second World War; and with the USA, the leader of the capitalist bloc during the Cold War. The aim was to rapidly industrialize. In this way, Muslim-Turkish facts were compelled to serve the Soviet aims both quantitatively and qualitatively. The Soviet Union wanted to establish its hegemony by Russifying the Muslim-Turkish facts and creating a Soviet people from them in the region. Accordingly, artificial ethnic borders and bureaucratic cadres were first created by the Soviets in Central Asia. Secondly, the ties of the Muslim-Turkish facts with their language, culture and religion were tried to be severed. Afterward, agricultural policies were followed, which negatively affected the nomadic Muslim-Turks living in the countryside, both materially and spiritually. While addressing these in the study, second-hand sources were used, and a descriptive analysis method was used.
