Repressed Azerbaijanis of Kyrgyzstan

For the first time, the book “Repressed Azerbaijanis of Kyrgyzstan” publishes new archival materials on repressed Azerbaijanis from the administrative archive funds, with the support of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The book discusses the causes of the repressions, the bitter fate of one repressed Azerbaijani family, the friendship and brotherhood of the Kyrgyz and Azerbaijani peoples, and the mutual assistance that was honourably preserved during the Stalinist authoritarian period up to the early 1920s–1950s, as well as amid socio-political crises.

The book is intended for school and university students, teachers and researchers, academic specialists, and a wider readership interested in political history.

Repressed peoples of Kyrgyzstan

The book “Repressed peoples of Kyrgyzstan” is devoted to researching the tragedy suffered by Soviet peoples during the mass Stalinist repressions, when tens of thousands of citizens — who today form the multinational people of Kyrgyzstan — were subjected to political persecution and deportation. To present a full picture of this universal human tragedy, the work gives numerous examples of mass persecution worldwide on grounds of origin, religion, and political views.

It is intended for a wide readership: school pupils, students, postgraduate researchers, teachers, lecturers, scholars, and politicians interested in political history.
