Colonial Policies

The article discusses the traditional, predominantly Islamic, educational system (with its maktabs and madrasahs) in Tashkent and Turkestan in general, prior to the region’s colonization by the Russians, and the (limited) effects of the colonial authorities’ attempts to impose their policy of Russification through the establishment of Russian-indigenous schools. The Russian policies in Turkestan resemble those of the French in Algeria, but they were less successful.

Spiritual Unity

Ivan Ogienko (1882-1972), also known as Metropolitan Hilarion, devoted much attention to the role and place of religion in the national life of Ukrainians and their ethnic identity in their scholarly and theological works. Without exaggeration it can be argued that the problem of national unity of the Ukrainian people is one of the key principles of all historiosophical considerations of the famous scholar and theologian. If the purpose of the spiritual life of a Ukrainian, according to his views, is to serve God, then the purpose of state or terrestrial life is the dedicated service to his people. The purpose of heaven and the purpose of the earthly paths, intersecting in the life of a certain group of people through the lives of its individual representatives, give rise to a unique alliance of spiritual unity, the name of which is "people" or "nation." Religion (faith) in the process of transforming the anarchist crowd into a spiritually integrated and orderly national integrity serves as the transformer of the imperfect nature of the human soul into perfect.
