Abstract
The Central question of the revolutions of 1917 was the question of power: on what principles it will be organized, what ways to solve the problems that have developed in Russia will be chosen. However, in Turkestan, as in other national regions of the former Russian Empire, the question of power was associated with the solution of the national question, which became extremely topical after the February revolution. The Turkestan national elite put forward a project to transform Turkestan into autonomy and transfer power in the province to representatives of the indigenous population. At the same time, representatives of Russian parties in the region, including the Bolsheviks, continued to reproduce the colonial approach to the organization of power. The refusal of the local Bolsheviks after the proclamation of Soviet power in Tashkent to involve representatives of the Muslim population in the management of the region was one of the reasons for the formation of a powerful anti-Soviet movement among the indigenous population of the region. The nature of the national question solution in the region during the revolutions of 1917 and the civil war largely determined the process of subsequent nation-building and the political map of Central Asia.
