ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ И РАЗВИТИЕ КРАЕВЕДЕНИЯ КАРАКАЛПАКСТАНА (1920-1930–е гг.)

The history of the formation and development of the local history movement in Karakalpakstan is a poorly studied topic in native historiography. Thus, it has recently been of increasing interest from our scientists. A significant increase of researchers' interest to the problem of regional studies is currently reflected in the need of the making comprehensive works on the history of particular cities and regions of Karakalpakstan. In modern conditions, when the revival of the local history movement, begun in the 1920s, continues, the success of this initiative is not possible without resorting to the history of the formation and development of native local history.
