Marco Buttino, Ethnicity and politics during the Civil War : the case of the basmachestvo in Fergana. In Central Asia (in Turkestan) the Soviet government was, at first, not only a political but also an ethnic dictatorship. The Russian minority who seized power met an armed opposition of Muslims: the basmachestvo. The conflict between Russian émigrés and the local population was due to the crisis of the old regime's iastitutional order, or in other words the crisis of the colonial order was the starting point of the conflict and not the contrary. To that was added the creation of new powers based on ethnicity and territoriality. This article means to look over thoroughly the case of a region in Turkestan: the Fergana where the Russian political elite builds up and uses ethnic oppositioas. Thus the Red Army enroled Russians, Armenians and Aastrian war prisoners who, for one reason or another, accepted to fight the Maslims. Later on, the ruling Rassiaas used Maslim soldiers from other regions to fight the basmachi. But the allies were not always so obvious. At some point an armed organization of Russian settlers took side with the basmachi, so did the Maslim communists who, succumbing to national solidarity, signed secret agreements with the basmachi. This micro-analysis of different situations is a way to examine on a more general scale the reasons and means of ethnic conflicts. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
