RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Abstract

The article provides detailed information about the life of a prominent historian and poet
Mirza Muhammad ‘Abd al-‘Azim Sami Bustani (1838-1908), who lived and worked in
Bukhara in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his two historical works, “Tuhfa-yi
shahi” and “Tarikh-i salatin-i Manghitiya”. Although these works have rich factual data and
devoted to the history of the last dynasty of Bukhara – the dynasty of Manghit, they are
poorly studied. Both works, in particular the details of events that the author himself
witnessed – the events of the Central Asian occupation by the Russian Empire, are original
and these materials are of historical importance in covering the history of the region. The
article explains the historical significance of these sources by comparative analysis of
them. Also, the defeat of the Bukhara army by the Christian army during the occupation
aggravated the political and economic crisis in Bukhara, which led to loss of reputations of
Amir and officials. The works of Mirza Sami expose the horizons of the study of the
attitude of the local intellectuals to the rulers of Bukhara and the Russian invasion during
this crisis.
