THE LIFE, JADIDIST MOVEMENT ACTIVITIES, AND LITERARY-SCHOLARLY LEGACY OF ABDULLA GULSHANIY

This article examines the life and work of Abdulla Gulshaniy (1898-1978) - a poet, translator, and public figure who holds a significant place in the history of 20th-century Uzbek literature and the Jadid movement but has not yet been sufficiently studied - within a broad historical and cultural context. Based on historical and biographical sources, as well as recent textological research, the article analyzes his birth in Shahrisabz and education at the Mir-i-Arab Madrasa in Bukhara; his involvement in the Jadid movement and organization of a local youth group; the repressions he faced in 1919; his professional activities during the Soviet era; and his scholarly research regarding the art of poetic enigmas (muammo) and the translation of classical Eastern literature.
