Заключительная глава затрагивает также основные моменты военной эмиграции 1941-1945 гг., период «холодной войны», войны в Афганистане 1980-х гг., и доводит исследование до начала 2000-х гг.

TAJIKISTAN – AN HISTORICAL SKETCH
This article was born out of an encyclopedic article, we ordered the “Great Russian Encyclopedia”.
Of course, in the narrow confines of encyclopedic articles we could not include all material that
seemed to us appropriate for such an interesting problem. The result was “a lengthy version of”
that we present to the reader. Of course, this article is purely a compilation and not in any way
claim to be scientific novelty, but it seems to us that such a compressed format can be useful for
educational and reference purposes – as required by encyclopedic articles.

This is a short historical overview of modern Tajikistan. While it is obviously difficult to give an account of two thousand years of history in one thousand words, I tried to give some clues about how to make sense of the country and what historical events shaped its contemporary culture, geography, demography and so on. I contributed only this chapter to the book written by Jan Bakker and Christine Oriol, available from https://www.cicerone.co.uk/trekking-in-tajikistan.

The study is devoted to the most dramatic period of the stay of Russian troops on the territory of Badakhshan-mountain — the era of the civil war in Tajikistan (1992—1997). The authors of the work tried to overcome the schematism and descriptive nature of the historiography of the topic. For this, documents from the archives of the Badakhshan mountain Autonomous Region (BMAR), data from the regional periodical press, and previously unpublished analytical materials and photographs from
the funds of the Central Border Museum of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation were used. As a result of studying the opposing forces, instead of confronting the faceless, monolithic
and mechanically opposed “Russians” and “fighters”, a complex picture of the interaction of various actors involved in the thick of events with the unpredictable dynamics of the context is formed.The authors conclude that the armed forces of the former “Center” at some point turned out to be the only significant economic agent, security guarantor and socialization institution that prevented the development of the region according to the “Afghan” scenario.

The paper focuses on the anatomy of the ethno-political transformations of the unique administrative unit of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic during the late Perestroika period (1989–1991). The research object is the Kūhistoni Badakhshon Autonomous Region (GBAO or simply the Pamirs). The subject being analyzed is the response to the massive crisis of the dissolution of the USSR by the exceptional sociopolitical system of the Soviet Pamirs. The core of the sources for the study was made up of documents and write-ups from the State archive of Kūhistoni Badakhshon Autonomous Region named after Kh. Buribekov (town of Khorugh, Tajikistan). These funds reflected the activities of main local political institutions, such as the Regional Soviet of the people’s deputies, Executive Committee of GBAO, the Supreme Soviet of Tajikistan and its Presidium. The information from the national and regional press was also examined. On the basis of a wide range of sources it has become possible to reconstruct the features of administrative and social disorganization of the autonomous region as well as the key aspects in its search for new prospects. The “dissection” of the political transformations in the Pamirs in 1989–1991 enabled the scholars to conclude that the project of sovereignization of GBAO was unfeasible for many reasons, such as cultural antagonisms inside the region; discord among the “old” communist elites over the act “On GBAO” and declaration of therepublic; economic dependency on the Soviet centre; passiveness of the “ethnic Pamiri” in the republic administration of Tajikistan. The main external factors which should be emphasized were the influence of the conflict in Afghanistan and the absence of the support from “democratic” elite of the RSFSR.

THE STALINABAD ‘HOLLYWOOD’
The paper researches the experience of the Moscow’s film studio “Soyuzdetfilm” that worked in evacuation in Stalinabad during the Great patriotic War, and its influence on the development of Tajik film industry. The main characteristics of the films produced by this joined studio in 1941-1943 were visual minimalism, actors driving mis-en-scene and natural location caused by deficiency of the film stock and resources in war time. In spite of these factors this collaboration played a positive role on the development of Tajik cinema.

Současný Tádžikistán je lingvisticky bohatý region – kromě úřední tádžičtiny a ruštiny jakožto lingvy franky zde máme 13 východoíránských a dva turkické jazyky, okrajově též lokální cikánské a arabské dialekty. Tádžická nářečí a toponyma poskytují data k poznání situace před dominancí tádžičtiny. Příspěvek nastíní možnosti studia minulých (íránských) jazyků Tádžikistánu na základě studia tádžických dialektů a jejich srovnáním se současnými východoíránskými jazyky.
