Red DIME: Dissecting the Bolshevik Liquidation Campaign in the Ferghana Valley Against the Basmachi Resistance
Abstract : This monograph delves into the Bolshevik campaign to liquidate the Basmachi Resistance in the Ferghana Valley Section of Central Asia. The Bolsheviks employed a precursor to the modern day D.I.M.E construct to overcome early policy missteps. The author uses archival documents from the Ferghana Oblast State Archives that he gathered during his Fulbright Scholar research during 2002-2003. By utilizing illustrative examples of Diplomatic, Information, Military, and Economic initiatives, it is possible to learn about the evolution of policy as the Bolshevik authorities struggled to regain the initiative against the Basmachi Resistance. These lessons of the Bolshevik counterinsurgency against the native Basmachi resistance remain remarkably applicable as governments face similar challenges in the 21st Century.
The revolt of the basmachi according to red army journals (1920–1922)
The revolt of the Basmachi spread across Central Asia during a period of nearly ten years, 1918 to 1928. This article will not present a methodical step-by-step account, nor even a particular aspect of this movement, but is an analysis of three journals published by the Red Army in Tashkent in the early 1920s, which were never subjected to any form of study as they were not to be found in the West and were inaccessible in the Soviet Union. These first-hand documents cover the three years, 1920 to 1922, which correspond with the arrival of Turkkommissiia in Turkestan, putting an end to the power of the Turksovnarkom and of the Red Army commanded by Frunze, as well as the most intense moments of the revolt of the Basmachi. The following journals are concerned:
Production of new antituberculosis drug and other medical preparations by electron beam treatment
Abstract Possibility of electron beam usage for immobilization of hydrazidum of an isonicotinic acid (HIA) on dextrane was studied to produce a drug for treatment of a tuberculosis. As a result of irradiation of dextrane the processes of oxidation and formation of polysaccharide occur due to carbonyl groups which are to link isoniasidum. The HIA immobilized on dextrane may be used as an effective medical preparation having prolonged action for action on endo and extracellular population of Micobacterium tuberculosis .
