This article provides a comprehensive scientific analysis of the socio-political, economic, and cultural modernization experiments in the Bukharan and Khorezm People's Soviet Republics (1920-1924) and the historical process of their liquidation. The study examines the structural reforms initiated by the Young Bukharans and Young Khivans (Jadids), the distinct institutional features of these new state entities, and the ultimate collapse of their asymmetric cooperation with the Soviet regime. Utilizing archival records and contemporary historiography, the author demonstrates that the dissolution of these republics was primarily driven by the central Bolshevik government's geopolitical strategies and the 1924 national-territorial delimitation, rather than domestic socio-political failures.
