This article examines the political processes that occurred in Central Asia during the 20th century and analyzes their impact on the system of moral values within society. The research highlights how the Soviet totalitarian system and its mechanisms of ideological control influenced the transformation of traditional moral norms. Furthermore, it provides a scholarly evaluation of the socio-political processes aimed at restoring national identity and spiritual values in the post-independence period. The article is based on historical-analytical, comparative, and sociological approaches, and reveals the interrelationship between political processes and moral transformation.
