The book of a military writer and teacher Konstantin Abaza introduces a modern reader to the history of the accession to the Russian Empire of the vast territories of Central Asia. The process of the Russian penetration into these ancient lands began under Peter I. The campaign in the Khiva Khanate of the Bekovich-Cherkassky detachment turned out to be unsuccessful, and after that, active advance to this region stopped for almost a hundred years. Since the 30s of the 19th century, the Russian Empire began actively acting in Turkestan, where there were three main states - Khiva, Kokand and Bukhara, and by 1881 the main lands of Turkestan became part of the empire in the form of seven regions.
The book lively draws the story of the conquest of the region, on the territory of which five independent states have currently appeared, the active development of which was facilitated by their entry of both the Russian Empire and the USSR
