Abstract

The essence, purpose and historical significance of the struggle of the Turkestan peoples against the Soviet government in 1918-1924 have been distorted for many decades. The ideologists of the existing regime effectively used the power of the press to falsify historical truth: the press became an important tool of the ideology of Soviet power in Turkestan. In this study, the main attention is paid to the problem of the emphasis of the Soviet power system on publishing military press in the languages of the peoples of Turkestan, as well as in the languages of prisoners of war from Germany, Austria and other countries held in Turkestan during the First World War in order to promote the communist idea and suppress national identity.
