Bukhara in Uzbekistan OUZBEKISTAN uzbekistan. bukhara Informations and links Bukhara Map Bukhara Photos Bukhara ------------------------------- Bukhara (Bokhara in XIX century English, Buxoro or ?????? in Uzbek (the Cyrillic alphabet was officially phased out for Uzbek after independence); ?????? /Bukh?r?/ in Persian, Buhe/Puhe Tang Chinese, ?????? in Russian; also Boxara in Tatar) is the fifth-largest city in Uzbekistan, and capital of the Bukhara region (Bukhoro Wiloyati). It has a population of 237,900 (1999 census estimate), the majority of whom are Persian-speaking Tajiks. Bukhara and Samarkand are the two major centers of the Tajiki-Persian culture and history. During Soviet times these two Tajiki centers were annexed to the Uzbekistan SSR, much to the disgust of the Tajiks of Central Asia. Ever since, a harsh program of assimilation and cultural confinement has been carried out on the Tajiks of Uzbekistan by the Uzbek authority. Bukhara is also home to a large number of Jews, whose ancestors settled in the city during Roman times. The term 'Bukharan Jew' is frequently used to describe all Jews who come from Central Asia. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Russia conquered Uzbekistan in the late 19th century. Stiff resistance to the Red Army after World War I was eventually suppressed and a socialist republic set up in 1924. During the Soviet era, intensive production of "white gold" (cotton) and grain led to overuse of agrochemicals and the depletion of water supplies, which have left the land poisoned and the Aral Sea and certain rivers half dry. Independent since 1991, the country seeks to gradually lessen its dependence on agriculture while developing its mineral and petroleum reserves. Current concerns include terrorism by Islamic militants, economic stagnation, and the curtailment of human rights and democratization..
