Abstract

Nation-building is considered as a way of opposing centrifugal forces, in order to preserve the civil identity of multinational states. In modern science, the process of nation-building is associated with «identity», «identification», mainly implying civil and political identity. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, all countries began an active search for their own identity as the basis of nation-building, and this search is largely connected with history. Historical memory plays the role not only of preserving and transmitting information, but also of an ideological component - the unifier of an ethnos, a civil nation with the state into a single whole. The state as a subject of nation-building introduces ideologically actualized historical concepts into the historical consciousness of the nation. These concepts are actively introduced into a wide public discourse, where a special role is assigned to the scientific community. Based on the analysis of scientific works and discursive data, an attempt is made to show the place and role of the concepts «Chagatai ulus» and «state of nomadic Uzbeks» in the nation-building process of modern Uzbekistan. The article shows the content and meaning of these concepts, the trends of their development both in the official scientific environment and in the broad public discourse.
