DETAILS OF THE BOOK “A COUNTRY WITHOUT RIGHTS” IN NABIJON BOQIY’S NOVEL “MADFUN TURKISTAN’’

Abstract

This article analyzes Nabijon Boqiy’s documentary-historical novel “Madfun Turkiston” (“Buried Turkestan”) and its depiction of details from the Russian writer D. I. Logofet’s book “A Country Without Rights.” The novel presents the social, political, cultural, and moral decline of the Bukhara Emirate based on historical documents. Through Logofet’s work, the author reveals the social, economic, and political conditions of Bukhara, the deprivation of the people’s rights, and the corruption of officials. Although Logofet’s narrative reflects the viewpoint of the Russian Empire, his observations contain realistic depictions and a tone of empathy toward the local people. The analysis emphasizes how Boqiy transforms documentary material into a literary tool for exposing national oppression and historical truth.
