> The hopes that the Central Asian intelligentsia attached to the Russian
> Revolution had a direct impact on cultural, national, religious and
> linguistic changes that shape the region's zeitgeist today. In 1917,
> Central Asia was a recently conquered colony of the Russian empire, but by
> 1932, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan were
> fully a part of the new Soviet state. The economy was tied to the center
> in new ways and the region underwent a cultural revolution—campaigns for
> mass education and against illiteracy coincided with a flourishing of
> theater and the emergence of the novel and new forms of poetry. The
> Revolution made for strange bedfellows. Find out who they were and what
> they created in a lecture that is full of surprises.
