	History - Under the Soviets
		Two representatives of Bukharan Jewry, Raphael Potilahov and Jacob Va'adiayov, served in 1918 as ministers in the short-lived autonomous government in Khuqand.
		At the onset of the Soviet rule a network of secular government schools was established for the Bukharan community; the first teachers in these schools were Ashkenazi Jews, who did not know the language of the Bukharan Jews, and the language of instruction in these schools was Hebrew.
		In the large cities of Central Asia, where the Bukharan Jewish population is mainly concentrated, thirty years after the elimination of the community's cultural life and particularly its network of schools, the Judeo-Tajik language was the major means of communication in all areas of life only among those aged 55–60 or more.

	v16n2
		With the option of repositioning oneself as a native people, a guardian of the global ecosystem, and accessing the resources that the global environmental movement has at its disposal, the ability of states to categorize indigeneous peoples as marginalized members of the nation-state rapidly diminishes.
		The Russians succeeded in establishing military authority over the native people in Kamchatka, but it was not until the Soviet era that Russians achieved their goal of consolidating the dispersed natives into towns and villages and instituting agriculture as opposed to fishing and hunting, as the principle lifestyle.
		Further discussion often led people to remark on the ironic ways that the name is used, as an innocuous code word for the illegal activity, a code incidentally which worked perfectly as the unemployment rate was soaring and television was a principle activity for many.

		The intrinsic worthiness of dragging these peoples memories back from buried vaults of consciousness in their senescence doesnt always seem so transparent to me. The value of the interviews has to be tempered by both a cross-disciplinary theoretical perspective and a comparative effort that examines other works framing social histories of collectivization.

		As people we spoke with were quick to point out, Chinese cooking disguises the tabooed ingredients by cutting, chopping, and mincing them.
		People who were labeled "kikes" and "sheenies" learned to refer to Chinese Americans as "chinks." Two of our informants, whose mothers used to say "Let's go eat at Chinks," did not discover until adolescence or later that "chinks" was a disparaging and contemptuous term.
		A few people even insisted that their parents, who had learned their English on the streets, had not known that chinks was a racist epithet.

		We see that Soviet republics have been formed from the former colonies, in Turkestan, Caucasia and other countries with a Moslem population, and these Soviet republics are entering as federal units into Soviet Russia; and now these Soviet republics, inhabited by oppressed toilers, are developing culturally, raising their cultural level.

		At first, these relatively prosperous and urbane Jews from the West were appalled by the provinciality of the Bukharans, which surely equalled that of Russia's and Poland's 'ghetto Jews'.
		Few Bukharans had any comprehension of modern advances in science and technology or of the new socioeconomic and political ideas which were about to alter the course of history.
		However, Bukhara itself remained a nominally independent state known as the "Bukharan Soviet Peoples' Republic" until 1924, when its territory was incorporated into the newly-organized Soviet Socialist Republic of Uzbekistan.
