The Problem of Tashkent’s Incorporation into Russia in the Newspaper “Golos” (1865–1866)

Section: History of Journalism

The article examines the materials of the newspaper “Golos”, namely, articles for 1865–1866 concerning events in Central Asia, where in the summer of 1865 Tashkent was captured. This presented the Russian government with the problem, since the annexation of city and adjacent lands threatened foreign policy complications and did not promise obvious material benefits. The liberal newspaper “Golos” was a participant in this discussion. An analysis of the publications allows us to trace how the editors’ opinion changed: at first the publisher advocated for maintaining the independence of Tashkent, but after a warning was given to the newspaper, the tone of judgment changed sharply, and “Golos” began to support the course of incorporating Central Asian lands into Russian Empire, which was officially carried out in 1866.
