Some issues of studying the uprising under the leadership of Polot khan, son of Ishak Asan, within the framework of post-soviet

In the historiography of the Soviet period, scientific results of the studies on efforts of the people who fought for freedom were considered compatible with the ideological orientation of the party. During the studies of popular movements, scientists considered them from point of classes and used established concepts such as “the fight against class oppression,” “the fight against manaps,” and “the fight against bourgeois elements,” which later became the main slogans of the Soviet state. As a main feature of post-Soviet historiographical studies, the said freedom uprisings are assessed as the efforts of people striving for freedom, and there is a tendency to consider their leaders as national heroes and great historical figures. The significance of the popular movement in the Fergana Valley of 1873-76s and the role of Polot Khan, the son of Iskhaq Asan in this movement were studied from new aspects by Kyrgyz and Uzbek scientists of the post-Soviet period, as a result of which several significant works and articles were published
