The contribution of professor T. Kenensariev to the study of the history of Kyrgyzstan

This article examines the contribution of Professor T. Kenensariev to historical science, and also makes an attempt to analyze his scientific point of view in the study of the history of Kyrgyzstan in the 18th-19th centuries. As noted in the article, Professor T. Kenensariev was remembered as a famous scientist who studied the history of Kyrgyzstan during the era of the Kokand Khanate and the Russian Empire, had an appropriate scientific degree, and created a number of monographs and scientific articles on these topics. T. Kenensariev offers to look at the history of the Kokand Khanate in a new historical perspective as a joint khanate created by the peoples of the Fergana Valley, a form of Kyrgyz statehood. And while studying the history of the colonial era, T. Kenensariev proposed a new methodological point of view on the forms and stages of Kyrgyzstan’s annexation to Russia, as well as the attitude of tribal leaders towards Russians. The author reports that the territory of Kyrgyzstan became part of the Russian Empire on the basis of two standard treaties, transactions and armed conquest. The article also talks about the exceptional role of Professor T. Kenensariev, who is one of the outstanding scientists in the history of the post-Soviet era, who proposed new historical views on the history of the 18th-19th centuries
