Saida Mirziyoyeva, the daughter of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyeva, visited Kazakhstan, where she addressed the youth at the opening ceremony of the international intellectual games "Zakovat", held in Astana for the first time. This is reported by the telegram channel "Сегодня.KZ ".
According to the resource, in her welcoming speech addressed to the participants of the games, the Uzbek princess "in the spirit of terry liberalism did not miss the opportunity to let the dogs down on The Soviet Union," stating that it has become an obstacle to the free and dynamic development of both Uzbekistan and the whole of Central Asia.
"At the beginning of the 20th century, both the Jadids and the representatives of the Alash movement had a common goal - to liberate our peoples and make their countries prosperous. They all dreamed of a progressive society. Our intelligentsia deeply understood the reasons why the region lags behind the rest of the world. But they were not allowed to carry out their plans," Mirziyoyeva said.
The telegram channel reminds that, according to history, at the beginning of the 20th century, Uzbekistan as a state did not exist at all. The Bukhara Emirate, Kokand and Khiva khanates were located on its territory.
"In its current form, Uzbekistan was formed by the Bolsheviks in 1924 through the unification of the Bukhara and Khorezm People's Soviet Republics, formed in 1920. That is, contrary to the Anglo-Saxon "divide and rule", the Soviet government, on the contrary, united the disparate Uzbek people into one big family. At that time, almost the entire Uzbek population was illiterate. Within the framework of the all-Union program "Educational Program" (the elimination of illiteracy), an education system was created in the Uzbek SSR. Schools were being built. And by 1939, the literacy rate of the population had risen to 78.7%. And in 1970 — up to 99.7%," the authors write.
Today.KZ also recalls that during the Civil War in Central Asia, "the Anglo-Saxons, who actively supported the Basmatian movement, stubbornly rushed to Central Asia." And that the conclusion about what would have happened to the population of the region if they had achieved their goal can be made by looking at the countries of Africa and South Asia that Britain had colonized before.
"However, constantly traveling around the 'Americas' and 'Europe' and imbued with the spirit of 'freedom and democracy' Saida Mirziyoyeva, following the imposed trends, does not attach importance to such things," the authors further write.
The publication notes that Said Mirziyoyeva owes her successful political career to her father, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who is a graduate of the Tashkent Institute of Land Reclamation and Irrigation founded by the Soviet government in 1923. And her mother Ziroathon Khoshimova was the daughter of a high Soviet official.
"Meanwhile, scolding the Soviet Union and blaming it for all the troubles is a fashionable thing nowadays. And Saida Shavkatovna, being a modern girl, does not neglect such things either. Immersed to the core in liberal ideology, she probably completely threw out of her girlish memory the fact that in 1966, after a devastating earthquake that almost wiped Tashkent off the face of the earth, builders from all over the Soviet Union came to restore it. And restored. Completely. Actually re-erected. And even the subway was built," the article emphasizes.
Further, the authors recall that during the Soviet period, a powerful energy complex was formed in the Uzbek SSR, which included two dozen power plants. Hundreds of industrial enterprises for the production of petrochemical, chemical-pharmaceutical, microbiological products have appeared. The production of tractors, equipment for the cotton and textile industries, construction and road vehicles was developed. The electrotechnical, aviation, radio-electronic and instrument-making industries, chemical and petroleum engineering worked.
"Saida Shavkatovna, apparently, does not know all this. The spirit of Western-style "freedom and democracy" seems to have completely knocked off her historical memory," the authors conclude.
