Historical information about Amir Olimkhan's personal doctor
Historical information about Amir Olimkhan's personal doctor
According to historical sources, the Amir of Bukhara, Sayyid Olimkhan, spent the last years of his life suffering from severe illness, particularly blindness. This was also mentioned in an article published on the "Xabar.uz" website. After the article was published, several historians commented on the fact that Amir Olimkhan indeed had a personal doctor. According to Shavkat Bobojonov, a doctor of philosophy in history at Tashkent State Pedagogical University, the Amir's main personal doctor was a woman of Russian descent – Rakitskaya. Medical services and doctors in the Bukhara Emirate It is known that in the Bukhara Emirate, there were many positions and officials to ensure the service of the supreme ruler – the Amir. Along with the Amir's daily schedule, prayer, study, and reading hours, great attention was also paid to his health. This work was overseen by experienced individuals well-versed in medical science. Among the palace physicians, one of the most famous was Hakimcha. Additionally, a physician named Mullo Qurbon was also well-known in Bukhara. Among the personal doctors of Abdulahadkhan, the ninth Amir of the Manghit dynasty, was Rakitskaya, who was of Russian descent. She was gifted to Amir Olimkhan by the Emperor of Russia. According to archival information, she arrived in Bukhara in 1898-1899 and was the most beautiful dancer of the St. Petersburg palace theater. Rakitskaya – “Duxturshoh” or “Doktorsha” In Bukhara, she was known among the Tajiks as “duxtur Sho” and among the Russians as “doxturshax” or “doktorsha.” According to Sadriddin Ayni's work "Esdaliklar," although Rakitskaya was around 50 years old, due to her makeup, she appeared to be 30-35 years old. She bought a house on Gavkushon street and renovated it in a European style. However, she did not receive patients in her home – only wealthy individuals and officials called her to their homes for treatment. Rakitskaya and medical activities in Bukhara In 1901, she began working at the Russian-native hospital in Bukhara, and in 1903, she became responsible for the women's department, serving in this position for 9 years. In 1912, she was dismissed from her position as the head of the hospital for only serving the wealthy. At the same time, she became a well-known doctor among the wealthy and officials in Bukhara. In the fall of 1912, she resigned from her position at the women's hospital but continued to hold a high status in the Amir's court. Amir Abdulahadkhan trusted her greatly and protected her as his personal doctor. Even when there were complaints about her medical services being unsatisfactory, the Amir defended her. Consequences and demise Rakitskaya aroused hatred among the people for not paying attention to ordinary patients. In March 1918, during the Kolesov events, she intended to flee to the Moxi Khossa palace where Amir Olimkhan was living, but on the way, she and her friend Jo‘ra karvonboy were killed by the local population. Additionally, according to archival information, Rakitskaya did not live in Bukhara until 1930. Historical documents indicate that she treated the wealthy among the people but became a victim of public wrath for not helping the poor. Rakitskaya was one of the personal doctors who served during the reigns of two Amirs, Abdulahadkhan and Sayyid Olimkhan. She felt herself in a high position, but her indifference to the public earned her the people's hatred. Moreover, there is no concrete evidence that she was among the dancers in the Amir's harem. However, it is true that she became a famous figure in Bukhara, was under the protection of the Amirs, and gained a reputation among the wealthy population.

In Samarkand, the "Dari-Zanjir" complex is being restored for 415 million soums
The historically significant "Dari-Zanjir" complex is being restored in the city of Samarkand. This was reported by the Cultural Heritage Agency. Information about the historical complex The "Dari-Zanjir" complex, located in the old part of Samarkand near Registan Square, can be translated as "the door with chains." Here lived individuals from the lineage of Amir Timur and the Timurids, as well as representatives of the clergy and their family members. Our ancestors chained the doors of the rooms to protect their women from the gaze of non-mahrams, resulting in a strict prohibition on the entry of outsiders. For this reason, this area became famous as "Dari-Zanjir." Restoration works and expenses The total area of the complex is 70.13 square meters. In 2024, it was fully taken under state protection, and restoration works began. A budget of 415 million soums was allocated for covering the monument and restoring its exterior. Currently, restoration and conservation works are ongoing in the interior of the object. The complex is expected to reopen to tourists soon. Programs for preserving cultural heritage Throughout 2024, the Cultural Heritage Agency's Samarkand regional department carried out repair and restoration works on 20 cultural heritage sites. To date, restoration works have been fully completed and handed over for 5 objects. The "Dari-Zanjir" complex was included in the National Register of Cultural Heritage based on the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers on October 4, 2019, regarding the "Approval of the National Register of Immovable Property of Material Cultural Heritage" and was taken under state protection. The restoration of the "Dari-Zanjir" complex is significant not only for preserving historical heritage but also for enhancing Samarkand's tourism potential. Once restored, this monument will become another attraction for local and foreign tourists.

During the shooting of Ozoda Nursaidova's clip, the actress was run over by a car.
Frame from the video On November 7, 2024, during the shooting of the singer Ozoda Nursaidova's song "Dilbarim," an unfortunate incident occurred where the actress Sabrina Jabborova was run over by a car. The actress herself announced this on social media. According to Sabrina, another underage actress, S.M., was driving the Mercedes-Benz G-Class ("Gelandewagen"). She was also participating in the video shoot. “The underage actress pressed the gas pedal under the direction of the operator and director Sh.M., but at that moment lost control of the vehicle. The car's wheels ran over Sabrina twice: the front wheel completely passed over her, while the rear wheel rolled over her. As a result of the incident, Sabrina suffered a broken pelvis, and other parts of her body were severely injured,” the information left on Jabborova's Instagram page states. Due to the lack of first aid provided to the victim, she lost a lot of blood. She was then taken to Hospital No. 4, where her life was saved after a 9-hour surgery. However, due to the surgical procedure being performed incorrectly, her left leg became 7 cm longer than her right leg, leaving the girl disabled. Currently, doctors have stated that to restore the girl's health, her pelvis needs to be broken and the bones realigned, and such operations rarely succeed. In her appeal for help, Sabrina noted that the underage girl at the wheel was brought to the shooting process by A.Q. and was allowed to drive. According to her, the film organizers and other guilty parties did not provide sufficient assistance to the victim. They only paid a fine of $500 for "violating technical rules during the filming" for 4 months. “When the victim's mother asked for help for Sabrina to stand on her feet, she received only empty promises and threats. She was told that if the materials regarding the incident were spread on the internet, all assistance to the victim would be completely stopped,” the appeal states. It has been reported that a case regarding this incident has been brought to court, but the trial has not yet begun. Sabrina stated that the investigator has not provided her with the case materials. Additionally, Sabrina mentioned that she needs to undergo repeated surgery abroad to restore her normal walking ability and has asked the public for help.

Officials now ride in "local" service cars
In Uzbekistan, state officials are transitioning to using cars sold by local companies as service vehicles under the president's directive. Specifically, Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov has started using a Chevrolet Malibu instead of a Mercedes-Benz. This was confirmed by the government's press secretary Bekzod Hidoyatov. According to him, Aripov held a video conference on March 7, instructing all officials to stop using foreign service cars. It is reported that the Prime Minister rejected a proposal from officials to implement this rule a few weeks later. “We must unconditionally fulfill all the tasks given by our president; there is no room for discussion. They are suggesting that we implement this from March 20 or April 1. No, that won't work. If our president gives an order, we must execute it immediately. This is the main task of the government,” Aripov's words during the conference are quoted by his press service. According to Bekzod Hidoyatov, the deputy prime ministers have also switched to using the Malibu. Governors of the regions will now be served by vehicles such as Tahoe and Traverse. Additionally, Senate Chair Tanzila Norboyeva and Legislative Chamber Speaker Nuriddin Ismoilov are also riding in Tahoes. The “foreign cars” previously used by officials are expected to be put up for sale through the E-auction platform. It should be noted that President Shavkat Mirziyoyev stated during the conference on March 5 that it is necessary to significantly reduce the use of service transport in state agencies and to transition to national cars and national furniture.

The Prime Minister's press secretary commented on reports related to Chinese individuals on social media
Recently, various reports on social networks have been interpreted in different ways regarding the increasing number of Chinese people in Uzbekistan. Some information even suggests that the lands of Uzbekistan are supposedly being transferred to China. Those spreading these reports through networks even blame the Uzbek government for inaction and helplessness in this process. In order to know the government's stance on these reports, we contacted the Prime Minister's press secretary Bekzod Hidoyatov and received a comment, as reported by Platina.uz. In response to the inquiry, the Prime Minister's press secretary commented on this matter. “Currently, there is a global trend of investment migration. Thanks to the efforts of our President, the economy of Uzbekistan is developing. An open and pragmatic policy is being pursued. Many investors are entering the country. Of course, this is a normal process for a developing state. Moreover, not only from China but also from other countries such as Germany, France, Turkey, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and many others, numerous investors and entrepreneurs are coming and operating in our country. In addition, Uzbek entrepreneurs or migrants are also active in various countries, particularly in China. Nowadays, you can find Uzbek neighborhoods, shops with names written in Uzbek, and national cuisines in any country around the world. Regarding the issue of China, it is a leading country in terms of population, and there are large diasporas even in Western Europe and North America. However, no one talks about the dangers they pose. Therefore, there is no reason for concern in this regard. This seems like a manipulation company managed by the interests of a third party in a centralized manner. Thus, we ask our compatriots not to believe in various manipulations from provocateurs. China is Uzbekistan's historical and close partner as well as a strategic ally. It respects and firmly supports our territorial integrity and sovereignty. A separate agreement has even been signed regarding this matter. That is, there is no basis for panic. Another example: Among the students studying in Uzbekistan, Indians also make up a significant number. Currently, if I'm not mistaken, more than six thousand Indians are studying specifically in higher educational institutions of Uzbekistan. But this does not mean that Indians will take over Uzbekistan! I reiterate, Uzbekistan is not a closed state as it used to be. We ask people to be a little patient and not to fall for various false or provocative information,” said Bekzod Hidoyatov.

The toy that was not destined for the sick child... (A life story)
The toy that was not destined for the sick child... (A life story)
Yesterday, I bargained for a toy, specifically a sandboard, to get it at a lower price: – It was for sick children. Please lower the price a bit. The seller with a shiny face was taken aback. – I already gave you thirty thousand, sister. I’m telling you the price that no one has ever offered for the sick. If you don’t believe me, go ahead! Check the prices in other stores. I couldn’t take my eyes off the toy and sighed. – I checked. I saw. There’s one left in your store. The seller stretched and smiled: – There you go... Your father is lucky! I only sell unique toys myself. I gave a great price. Just take it. It’s the last one left. There are many buyers for this, if you think too long, you’ll miss out. – You don’t understand? – I said, pouting, – You would earn great rewards. It’s Ramadan! The seller shook his head firmly: – Sister, this is just a small amount of money. I have to make a living, I have a family. I won’t sell it at a loss, right? I’m giving it to you at my price, hoping to share in the rewards for the sick. If you don’t buy it, it’s up to you. I have little time left. I need to close the store. I have to catch iftar. I didn’t say anything else. A fasting person doesn’t deceive others. Maybe the sandboard really is more expensive. A simple sandboard is a great anti-stress toy. You don’t need a pencil or paint. You can draw with your fingers and palms. It even has a light underneath. As a result, the pictures on the board become more vivid than on paper. We distract children who have undergone chemotherapy and light therapy from pain and suffering by having them draw. Some kids don’t like paper and prefer to draw on the wall. For those "artists," the sandboard "album" is a great solution. If they don’t like the picture they drew, they can scatter the sand and draw again, which brings joy to the children. Most importantly, they can distract themselves, even if just a little, from the unbearable suffering of serious illnesses. I counted the money I had left over. It wasn’t enough. Adding what I had, I borrowed a little more from my friend’s plastic card, and just as I was about to open my mouth, a well-dressed, elegant person entered the store. The seller pretended not to see me, bending down and asking the newcomer in a low voice, as if to say "service." The elegant person didn’t even pay attention to the seller’s lowly manners. Without responding to Ramadan greetings, he pointed his phone at the seller’s face and showed him something: – My grandson asked about this, do you have it? The seller glanced at the phone screen and smiled broadly: – Yes, we have it! Why wouldn’t we? Boss, you’ve been in my dreams lately. I saved one just for you. The elegant person didn’t care about the seller’s flattery and cut him off. – How much? He pulled out a hundred dollars from his pocket, – is that okay? The buyer’s eyes sparkled at the money, and he grinned strangely: – Even if you don’t sell it, it’s fine. It would be a gift for my grandson. The buyer, as if to say that his grandson wouldn’t be upset about your gift, tossed the money onto the table. – Fine, the money you gave is blessed. It will bring blessings to my store. Look, the surroundings have brightened up. Come in, just like that. No... If you say a word, I’ll personally deliver the great toys... Watching this scene, I remembered Mayakovsky’s poem "Passport." We had memorized it in some class. The seller, carelessly taking our national currency from the buyers and tossing it into a paper box, resembled the official checking passports in the poet’s poem: When taking from someone, don’t be careless. One must not even mention this. The official bows to the English passport As if it were a sacred thing... He didn’t kiss the dollar with both hands, didn’t rub it on his eyes, didn’t bow, just carefully tucked it into his side pocket and reached for the toy. To my surprise, it was the sandboard I wanted to buy, the only one left in the entire market, capable of creating artistic works by bringing the sand to life. Feeling anxious, I turned to the seller. – I wanted to buy this. Here’s the money. I’m buying it for sick children. Sell it to me! He glared at me and justified himself: – You should have argued with me, sister. What have you been doing all this time? It’s not about running; it’s about ordering... The elegant buyer didn’t even pay attention to me. After taking the sandboard, he quietly left, and I couldn’t hold back my anger. – You were offering me thirty thousand. You just sold it to this person for a hundred thousand in cash. You were even ready to give it away for free, you have no shame. He coughed and grumbled at me: – Eeee, don’t bother me! Get out of my store. I know how much to sell to whom. I need to open my mouth; I’m in a hurry, he said, and dashed out of the store before me, disappearing somewhere. I noticed his assistant standing outside, looking embarrassed, shaking his head as if to say, "What can I do?" I smiled weakly at the employee who was standing inside, feeling embarrassed about the situation: – Are you the owner of the apricot orchard? – He shrugged as if to say he didn’t know. He seemed to be saying he was just an ordinary person. As I was leaving the market parking lot, I spotted the elegant buyer again. He was almost bent over, taking the toy from the seller’s hand, ignoring the goodbyes, and getting into his expensive car... Taken from Muazzam Ibrohimova's Facebook page

In 2024, Uzbekistan residents spent nearly 12 billion dollars on weddings
Weddings in Uzbekistan are being held with the mindset of the 19th century. This was stated by historian Bahtiyor Holmurodov in his appearance on YouTube. In the “Qurultoy” podcast, social issues related to Uzbek weddings were analyzed. According to Bahtiyor Holmurodov, the time has long come to reduce spending on weddings and invest in education. “In 2014, there was the Institute for Monitoring Civil Society. At that time, I received information from my mentor Bahtiyor aka Isoqov. He mentioned a figure. This should not only alert us but also make us think. That year, Tajikistan's gross domestic product was around 10 billion dollars. The people of Uzbekistan spent 7.5 billion dollars on weddings that same year. This is data from 2014. I also received information from my mentor about 2024. Wedding expenses have approached almost 12 billion dollars. That is a very large figure. Behind this lies the fate of individuals. It is time to seriously consider spending the money saved from weddings on education. The reason is that one cannot live in the 21st century with the mindset of the 16th or 19th century. Alixon Tora Sog‘uniy said: "If Uzbeks united for any task as they do for breakfast, there would be no great nation among them", there is a profound meaning behind this,” said the expert.

However, the regional prosecutor's office filed a cassation protest against the court's decision, arguing that a heavier penalty should be imposed on the defendant. The senior assistant of the Jondor district prosecutor, aware of the situation, demanded 3,000 US dollars from the head of the farm in exchange for leaving the judgment issued by the first instance court unchanged through the judge, initially receiving 500 dollars. However, he was detained by the State Security Service and prosecutor's office officials with material evidence when he received the remaining 2,500 dollars in Bukhara city. In a rapid operation conducted by the SSS employees in Urgench city, a senior investigator of the Investigation and Administrative Practice Department of the Bureau of Mandatory Enforcement in Khorezm region was also arrested. He was caught while demanding 2,000 US dollars from a citizen living in Shovot district in exchange for facilitating his employment in the MIB system through authorized colleagues, having received 1,800 dollars of that amount. Criminal cases have been initiated regarding the above-mentioned incidents, and investigations are currently underway.
