Candidate of Historical Sciences

My research focuses on the history of Ismailism, the Pamirs, the 1916 uprising, and the general history of Central Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as Uzbekistan's contribution to World War II. I am currently conducting research on the Russian Empire's policies in the Pamirs and exploring the perspectives of Russian scholars and officials on the region. My research has been published in high-ranking journals included in the SCOPUS (Q1 and Q2) and WoS databases.
