Samarkand, located along the Silk Road, has a history that is often confused with a fabled image of the East. This book, however, deals with a real city, narrating the changes that took place while it was part of the USSR and in the period following, all the way up to the present. In Samarkand, the passage between these two eras reflects the broader transformation that affected Uzbekistan and the other Central Asian countries, which were internal colonies, first of Russia and then of the Soviet Union, before becoming independent states. Step by step, the reader enters the city, its various districts, private homes, public places, and hears the stories of diverse individuals and families. Based on archival records, interviews and photographs, the book traces the changes in cultures and ways of life in Samarkand over this period, and investigates the tensions of the post-Soviet years. The Russians vanished from the city they had colonised or guided through the years of Soviet "modernisation", as did many populations that had been deported there during the Second World War, and various local minorities. The city experienced a period of profound crisis, was transformed in terms of the composition of its population, constructed a new national image, rewrote its history and finally emerged ready to receive tourists with their cameras. --

Die Nachkriegsgeschichte des sowjetischen Zentralasiens und deren Städte ist bisher nur wenig erforscht. Gerade in jener Zeit veränderten Industrialisierung und Wohnungsbauprogramme nachhaltig die urbanen Räume der Region. Doch die Vorstellung einer radikalen Modernisierung sowjetischer Städte greift zu kurz, denn lokale Prozesse, private Interessen und Handlungsspielräume für unterschiedliche Akteure waren ebenso Teil des städtebaulichen Geschehens.Am Beispiel des privaten Hausbaus in Samarkand der 50er- und 60er-Jahre und mit Hilfe von Zeitzeugenerinnerungen und Archivdokumenten untersucht die Arbeit die legalen wie illegalen Formen dieser Baupraxis, ihre Bedeutung bei der Bewältigung der Wohnungskrise sowie ihre weitreichenden Folgen für die Struktur der Stadt. Sowjetische Stadtplanung erscheint hier als Spannungsfeld von Interessenskonflikten, Aushandlungsprozessen und Kompromissen zwischen Bürokratie, Politik und einzelnen Akteuren.Die Arbeit zeigt die Grenzen des sowjetischen Modernisierungsprojektes und eröffnet damit neue Perspektiven für die historische Stadtforschung der ehemaligen Sowjetunion und speziell für Zentralasien. This study examines private homebuilding as a specific conflict-laden form of urbanization in post-Second World War Soviet Central Asia, based on the example of Samarkand. It elucidates the neglected role of private initiatives in Soviet urban planning and housing policy, which it describes as a tension-filled realm of conflicting interests, urban development tasks, and pressures.
