Abstract
The article evaluates the administrative reforms the Soviet government conducted within the Fergana Valley throughout its period of governance. The article concentrates on two transformative Soviet administrative reforms which included district reorganization together with establishing new territorial borders in Soviet rule's early phase. The research shows that decisions were rushed through by unable officials who overlooked residential needs leading to multiple social upheavals. The research reveals that one crucial knowledge gap exists regarding the insufficient planning in administrative restructuring because it steadily fueled interethnic conflicts and regional disputes. Historical documents together with data became a foundation for this study as the researcher examined documents from the 1920s region restructuring process alongside conflicts which occurred between Uzbek and Kyrgyz official groups. Local resistance against these reforms grew substantial because they neglected to understand regional economic and social conditions leading the population to maintain enduring protests. The research establishes that administrative choices together with wrong territorial management have created enduring conflicts which maintain themselves until the current period. This research shows vital implications because it demonstrates why local community conditions matter when institutions plan political and administrative reforms. Long-term assessments of these historical administrative choices in Central Asia need more investigation to analyze their effects on ethnic relations in the region and to learn appropriate lessons for current governance approaches.
