This study analyzes
the Soviet Central Asia from a historical perspective to understand the impact
of the Soviet regime on Muslim women’s lifestyles. It specifically focuses on
the underlying reasons of laws and policies put into effect by the Soviet
officials in the name of emancipating Muslim women in Central Asia. The main
argument of the study is that even though the Soviet officials had a genuine
intention for the emancipation of Central Asian women from the patriarchal
structure both in the public and private spheres of life, the policies and
their implementations were shaped in accordance with the basic motive of the regime
to survive. In the first years of the Soviet regime, mostly ideological
intentions shaped the women’s emancipation project.

Sovyet Orta Asya’sında Müslüman Kadınlar

Öz

Bu çalışma, Sovyet rejiminin Müslüman kadınların yaşam biçimleri üzerindeki
etkisini anlamak için Sovyet Orta Asya’sını tarihsel bir perspektiften analiz
etmektedir. Özellikle, Orta Asya’daki Müslüman kadınları özgürleştirmek adına
Sovyet yetkilileri tarafından yürürlüğe konan kanun ve politikaların temel
nedenlerine odaklanmaktadır. Araştırmanın temel argümanı, Sovyet yetkililerinin
hem kamusal hem de özel yaşam alanlarında Orta Asya kadınlarını ataerkil
yapıdan kurtarmak için sahici bir niyeti olsa da, uygulanan politika ve uygulamaların temelde rejimin hayatta kalmasına yönelik
olduğudur. Sovyet rejiminin ilk yıllarında kadınların kurtuluşu projesini çoğunlukla
ideolojik niyetler şekillendirmiştir.
