Description An account of the resource The family in Central Asia has lived through the collapse and breakup of the Soviet Union. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Savrigul M. PDF Search This element set enables searching on PDF files. Text Text extracted from PDF files belonging to this item. Savrigul The collapse of the Soviet Union, Civil War and 9/11 attack were the major events that happened during and since WWII. WW II was one of the deadliest military conflict in the history that effected the whole world. I am from Tajikistan which used to be part of the Soviet Union and researches show that the estimated death during that war just for Tajik people is close to 70,000 people. My grandfather M* (whose name I carry as my last name) was a soldier in War War II, who lost his leg and never was able to walk after that. The war ended more than fifty years ago and the world has faced to many changes both positive and negative. One of the biggest and most important even that happened in the world since the WW2 is the collapse of the Soviet Union. Since Tajikistan was part of the Soviet Union, my family and I faced tremendous changes, again both negative and positive. Positive part of it was that Tajikistan was an independent country with its own rules and currency and free under the Soviets control. On the other hand, it was not ready to be all on its own. Once Tajikistan got its independence, people started suffering. Hunger, unemployment and facing the new rules and control lead to civil war which started 1991. Thousands and thousands of people were killed, children were left orphans and everyone tried to get out of Tajikistan as soon as they could. My family itself suffered from every side. We didn’t have any food, my father couldn’t find a job, we used to go to school with no books or even proper clothes. My uncle died during that period of the time, which is still the most unforgettable even in my family’s history. A new president was elected and things started to get better. Yes, things are still hard, but with the help of all the international organizations like Red Cross and the UN, �life is getting easier back home. Tajikistan is a Muslim country and on the map it is very close to Afghanistan. After the 9/11 horrible event, non-Muslim people around the world stereotypically started to think that every Muslim person is a terrorist. When the 9/11 event happened, Tajikistan just started to have internet in the country, so we had no access to up to date information unless the Russian television informed us. When we finally heard it, I remember looking at my mother like I was expecting some explanation. We were raised as true Muslims that would never heard another human being with guns or words. And when we heard that the terrorists were Muslims and were from our very close neighbor Afghanistan, we were completely shocked. My family and I till this day don’t understand why those people are doing what they are doing and their actions are very ugly to us. Those are the three big events happened after WW2 and as you can see , we can find negative and positive part on all those changes and we can only hope for the positive from now on. � 9/11 Tajikistan https://www.memory.ctevans.net/files/original/020f0484dea4c42e6e88b2412c541aa6.pdf 9935155a8e1194402400d35a9090f646 Document A resource containing textual data.
