Paper long abstract:

Despite the fact that the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, the social and political life of Uzbekistan became shaped according to the "Strategy of Actions" model, which reflects the influence of the globalization of the modern world, the women's issue, the problems of religious belief and religious identity formed under this phenomenon, still remains plans are accepted. Almost a century ago, an enhanced method of secularization was used as a way to turn Turkestan into a colonial region. In this presentation, we will analyze such questions as, under the influence of what socio-political, cultural circumstances, the traditional woman of Uzbekistan wanted to regain religious clothing, the so-called hijab, which replaces the function of the paranji, and in what modern motives for the desecularization of the traditional society were reflected?

Аlthough the fact that this period is huge in terms of time scale, under the phenomenon of culture, gender and religious beliefs of the beginning of the 20th and 21st centuries, paradoxical parallels can be drawn of the values and realities that form the social identity matrix. Historical sources also claim that during the implementation of the policy of Bolsheviks, the paranji was the subject of a long dispute of the colonial periodicals.

In fact, the ideology of the colonial regime interpreted the paranji in a negative way, in order to create such an impression that all the negative of society proceeded from this element of culture. The fact that the Soviet ideology actually wanted to take a woman out of the house was hidden, so that she too was a participant in the construction of the Soviet state, which required human labor on a gigantic scale. But who does the Uzbek press of the 21st century want to see in the image of an Uzbek woman of the new period? A century later, the state in the face of the media what wants to promise for Uzbek woman of traditional society, who again wished to wear the hijab to return her to secular society, and how this task will be fulfilled - this question is also an equally important research question.

The authors of this study in a comparative way tried to highlight the model of identity and cognitiveness between the beginning of the past and the new century on the basis of an analysis of religious beliefs.
