More about Uzbekistan

Politics and law

Uzbekistan is a presidential republic. The president, directly elected by the people for five years, is head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Legislation is the task of the bicameral parliament. The president can dissolve parliament and propose laws himself. He appoints the government formed by the Council of Ministers chaired by the Prime Minister. Since its independence in 1991, Uzbekistan has been ruled by President Islam Karimov (* 1938, † 2016), who had considerably expanded his power. In 2016, Shawkat Mirsijojew (* 1957) succeeded him in the presidency. He retained the authoritarian style of leadership, but introduced greater freedoms in the economy. Even under Mirsiyoyev, there is no opposition in parliament.

The system of government in Uzbekistan is very authoritarian. Strict censorship prevents criticism of the president and the elections are not conducted according to democratic principles. Only candidates who are close to the president are admitted. Corruption is widespread among senior officials. At the same time, part of the population still suffers from great poverty, high cost of living and a lack of health care. Against this background, Islamist groups have formed in Uzbekistan who want to use terrorist attacks to enforce a state in which the entire society lives according to the strictly interpreted laws of Islam. As a member of the OSCE and NATO -Program “Partnership for Peace” Uzbekistan supports the fight against Islamist terror. Uzbekistan maintains close political and economic ties with Russia and is a member of the CIS. In the Fergana Basin there are border disputes with the neighboring countries of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The main question is how the water in the rivers of Central Asia should be distributed.

In Uzbekistan, there is compulsory education for eleven years from the age of 7. Schoolchildren wear school uniforms. The four-year primary level is followed by the five-year secondary level I and the two-year upper secondary level. The young people can complete this secondary level either at a vocational college or at a lyceum. Successful completion of the Lyceum is a prerequisite for paying a visit to a college or university. The teachers and the pupils have to help with the harvest in the cotton fields during the winter months. President Shawkat Mirsiyoyev implemented better pay for teachers and scholarships for students in 2017. The government has also exempted students from helping pick the cotton.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Russian culture became increasingly influential in Uzbekistan. There were socially critical novels in the style of socialist realism. The satirical youth novel “Shum Bola” (German: Der Schelm) by Gafur Gulom (* 1903, † 1966) about the adventures of a fourteen-year-old boy achieved international fame.

The film »Bread from Tashkent« (1968) by Schuchrat Abbassow (* 1931, † 2018) about hunger in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s received international attention. Saodat Ismailowa (* 1981) presented the women’s film “Chilla – 40 Days of Silence” at the 2014 Berlinale.

Characteristic musical instruments of traditional music are the long-necked lute and the drums. Singers, instrumentalists and composers are usually men. A variant with women’s songs was created in the Fergana Basin and in Tashkent. Musical performances and dances play a big role on celebratory occasions such as weddings and circumcision of boys.

In the past few decades, pop music has found many followers. The musician, poet and actor Sherali Dschurajew (* 1947) was a popular artist in the 1980s and 1990s. From 2002, however, the censorship prohibited the publication of his works on radio and television. The singer Yulduz Usmanova (* 1963) sings her songs in several Central Asian languages ​​as well as in Russian and Turkish. In 1996 and 2008 she was expelled from Uzbekistan for criticizing the government in her songs.
