FROM THE HISTORY OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN UZBEKISTAN (1991–2000)

The growing interest in the issues of tolerance and the activities of religious denominations in Uzbekistan has catalyzed the emergence of numerous scholarly works addressing various aspects of this topic. It is officially recognized that the role of historical science in spiritual revival and the objective reflection of historical processes was fundamentally elucidated by the first President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, I.A. Karimov, in many of his addresses. Specifically, the President stated: "We learn about a nation through its culture, through its spirituality... It is impossible to achieve self-awareness without knowledge of truthful history..." [1]. Particularly following the first President's meeting with historians at the Academy of Sciences in 1998, extensive work was undertaken for the objective study and comprehensive analysis of the History of Uzbekistan as a whole. Candidate and doctoral dissertations were defended, and monographs and scientific collections by researchers and specialists on the topic of religion and its history in Central Asia were published.乌兹别克斯坦国内对宗教宽容议题及各宗教教派活动的关注度与日俱增，催生了大量围绕该主题各维度展开研究的学术成果。官方已确认，乌兹别克斯坦共和国首任总统伊斯兰·阿卜杜加尼耶维奇·卡里莫夫（I.A. Karimov）在诸多公开演讲中，从根本上阐明了历史科学在精神复兴及客观呈现历史进程中的核心作用。具体而言，卡里莫夫总统曾指出："我们通过文化、通过精神世界认知一个民族……唯有掌握真实的历史，方能实现民族自我觉醒"[1]。尤其是在1998年总统与乌兹别克斯坦科学院（Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan）历史学家会晤后，学界针对乌兹别克斯坦通史展开了全面系统的客观研究与综合分析工作：副博士学位论文与博士学位论文相继通过答辩，研究人员及相关领域专家还出版了一批围绕中亚宗教及其历史主题的专著与科学文集。
