The government has responded with harsh repression, internet shutdowns, and mass arrests, while international pressure on Tehran is growing.

Following the Path of Islam Karimov

Islam Karimov (1938–2016), the first President of independent Uzbekistan, was the key architect of the country’s post-Soviet nation-building project. His leadership combined political independence with the creation of a national ideology that he viewed as essential for state survival and legitimacy. Karimov redefined Uzbekistan’s identity by reviving historical memory, celebrating figures like Amir Timur and Alisher Navoi, and replacing Soviet symbols with new national emblems. He balanced religion as a source of unity and morality while curbing extremism and implemented language reforms to strengthen national consciousness while preserving diversity. His model, based on ideology, history, religion, and language, remains a blueprint for achieving stability and unity in multi-ethnic, transitional states.
