Abstract: The Soviet authorities worked on creating an organization and a leading scientific centre that could serve as the headquarters of socialist science in the Uzbek SSR. As a result, on 9 January 1940 the Uzbekistan branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (UzFAN) was established on the basis of the Committee of Sciences. The scientific centre initially comprised the scientific research institutes of geology, botany, history, language and literature, economic research, water management problems and chemistry, the scientific sectors of soil science, zoology and physics and mathematics, the Tashkent Astronomical Observatory and the Kitab latitude station attached to it, as well as cartography bureaus. Under the supervision of the largest centre of sciences of the Soviet Union, the USSR Academy of Sciences, and with the help of Russian scholars, the development of science in the Uzbek SSR accelerated.
