Abstract: The Bukhara People's Soviet Republic (BPSR) was a short-lived but significant political entity that emerged in Central Asia following the collapse of the Emirate of Bukhara in 1920. This thesis examines the main stages of the BPSR’s development from its revolutionary formation through its governance and legal transformations to its eventual integration into the Soviet Union. Drawing on primary sources (including the 1921 BPSR Constitution) and scholarly analyses, we chronologically outline the BPSR’s evolution: the revolutionary overthrow of the emirate and establishment of a People’s Republic, the formation of governmental institutions and initial reforms, the adoption of a unique constitution permitting limited private property and broadening political participation, the challenges of governance amid civil conflict (notably the Basmachi revolt), and the republic’s transition into a Soviet Socialist Republic leading to its voluntary dissolution in 1924.
