AUTONOMY OF TURKESTAN

The autonomy of Turkestan (1917-1924) was an independence movement formed after the fall of the Russian Empire, which sought political and social reforms in its territory and included parts of the Turkestan provinces. This autonomy, formed as a result of the February Revolution of 1917, achieved the transformation into Turkestan autonomy in 1918. Turkestan autonomy in stages tried to create its own independent state structures and political offices in the process of entering the Russian Soviet Federation, but was finally eliminated by the Soviet government in 1924.
