Organisational aspects of the formation of autonomous regions: Historical experience and international comparative perspectives

Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the prerequisites and peculiarities of the formation of the Kara-Kyrgyz Autonomous Oblast in the context of political transformations. The research methodology was based on the analysis of works that examined the political situation in the Russian Empire, the role of the Bolshevik Party in the revolutionary transformations, and the consequences of these events for the political status of the Kyrgyz people. A comparative approach using Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological, Legal, Environmental analysis was also applied, which allowed the analysis of political, economic, social, technological, environmental, legal factors that influenced the processes of autonomisation. It was revealed that the Great October Socialist Revolution created prerequisites for political changes that influenced the national self-determination of the Kyrgyz people. It was established that the key stage was the decision to withdraw the Kyrgyz from the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the formation of the Kyrgyz Autonomous Oblast. The study showed that the creation of autonomy took place under conditions of complex political struggle, as well as under the influence of socio-economic factors. As a result of the work, it was possible to analyse the mechanisms of formation of administrative structures and the influence of revolutionary events on the processes of nation-building. The findings were important for the further study of the history of statehood in Kyrgyzstan and could also be used in comparative analyses of political transformations in other countries.
