Abstract
The Bolsheviks' "Attack" movement against the women of Turkestan was a socio-political campaign carried out in the 1920s and 1930s of the 20th century, the main goal of which was to change the social status of women in the local Muslim society, to encourage them to abandon the veil and "liberate" them in accordance with Soviet ideology. This movement is known in history as the Attack Campaign, and was carried out on a large scale, especially in the territory of Turkestan.
The abstract covers the goals and objectives of the movement, the methods of its implementation, and the resistance expressed by the local population. It also analyzes the positive and negative consequences of the "Attack" campaign, in particular, the involvement of women in education and social life, as well as its aspects of coercion, violence, and contradictions with cultural values. As a result, the complex and contradictory impact of this policy on Turkestan society is revealed.
