" After all, George 's ribbon was given as a reward for killing your ancestors, killing your children, and raping your wives. Now, how can you stand it if he preaches it on your street?!" after all, this is "Gvardeskaya tape" -ku . In that case, say "Gvardeskaya tape", why do you say "Georgi's tape" , if I say , he will say other things. .. Historian Shuhrat Barlos' comments about the Georgi tape.

Interpretation is also considered interference. What do you mean, the use of history in politics, that is, the Russian word "pobleka", to use it as a basis, to start a war with a country or to make a territorial claim against a country, to say that historically it was my husband.

"Yesterday, the gun that killed my grandfather was placed in the heart of Tashkent, but there is no name of my martyrs, my ancestors who died. It won't hurt me, I demand it!” a generation is growing up now. But the older generation stayed with the ideology of the Soviet era, with the Soviet concept. Now, in the 21st century, there are large statues named after Skobelev and General Kaufman in the Russian Federation. They glorify him as a great commander, strong generals and officers of the Russian Empire. If we look at the history of what they did, they massacred 20,000 people in Andijan alone, and about 40,000 people in Goktepa (Turkmenistan). Skobelev, who entered Khiva with a massacre while General Kaufman and Madraim Khan II were talking about making peace. There is a black mark of Skobelev in the history of Uzbekistan. He is the one who destroyed the current Margilon. Even to our ancient city of Fergana, which was once named after him. In my history, his name is black! But I shouldn't be afraid to say it. I don't have the right to falsify my history so that some Russian academician in the Russian Federation will be offended, or the President will be offended. First of all, it is necessary to fear God. Secondly, one should fear the wrath of the nation.

As I say to most scientists, I don't mean to come off as harsh or make a drastic demand. But as an ordinary Uzbek, when it comes to the issue of my history, there is something that says, don't interfere with theirs. Because the one who killed my ancestors, his blood is standing, his life is standing in the middle, the number is fixed. There were even such events that in the 1880s (that general) took from the encyclopedias written by his own hand (based on reports), from the documents in the RGVA (Russian State Military Archive), where I worked to collect information on the issue of dashniks, and showed them, and even if you say, here it is, you will not believe it. the generation has grown. Skobelev himself said : "I killed 20 thousand people in Andijan." A big Uzbek man protests that it is impossible. Today, in Ukraine, a massacre is happening before our eyes, but he says no, this is a prediction . He says that Ukraine is to blame, Putin is doing the right thing.

Here are the consequences of falsifying history. Or we say "Georgi tape". After all, the "Georgi tape" was given as a reward for killing your ancestors, killing your children, raping your wives, and now if it is being promoted on your street, how can you stand it?!" says, after all, it is "Gvardeskaya tape - ku" . Then say "Gvardeskaya tape", why do you say "Georgi's tape" , he will say other things. So, I couldn't explain it to him. If we say this, they will accuse us of religious extremism, the generation of the oppressor, or at least they will exclude us as a nationalist. We are used to it.

Here we know our ancestors as the guides of Uzbek. Besides, we have like-minded friends both abroad and in America. When we see in the documents, all our national heroes who were shot are accused of pan-Turkism and nationalism. For example, I myself am a Turk, a child of Turkestan. This is my homeland. When I defend my country, they show me as an enemy. Of course, I am an enemy to them, but they started showing me as an enemy, as a bandit. If we look at the next process, there is a symbolic grave in the Museum of Repression Victims. Now it must be said openly. There is no place left where those poor people were not dug up, shot, and buried. The graves of all the martyrs are there. How many innocent scholars, scientists, poets and writers, according to some reports, even Ibrahim Lakai, a participant of the national liberation movement, were brought here and shot here. Why does history lie, for whom does it lie?

Look, why was it necessary to portray Amir Temur as a bloodthirsty at the Soviet door? Because to suppress Stalin's bloodthirstiness, to hide it. They built towers out of heads, or in other words, scared people, manipulated people's brains, and false history was written here to hide what Stalin was doing before our eyes. If we look at the later history, false histories and forgeries started again by the time our eyes are opened. In 1960-70, Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev and Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov came and started the "Uzbek work". Was there no theft in other countries and nations? Was there no corruption elsewhere? It started from Uzbekistan. About 30,000 people were arrested, everything was confiscated. As a result, the Uzbeks are again guilty, the Russians started killing everyone, even our child soldiers who were in the army. It brought us the name "You bribe-taking nation, thieving nation." This is also history. Now we should not ignore it, saying that no, the night has passed. Yesterday did not pass. This can happen every day. Where there is a state, there is history, where there is a state, there is a region, where there is a state, caution is needed. There is danger wherever there is a state. A second country invades or another country tries to exert its influence with some kind of attacks. This is what statehood is all about. Every Uzbek child should know this.
