This article analyzes the process of political repressions in the 1930s in close connection with the activities of Uzbek educators and scientists. The study highlights the content, mechanisms, political and ideological instruments used, and the long-term negative consequences of the repressions on the development of education and science. The analysis, based on archival documents, historical research, and modern scientific literature, clearly demonstrates the systemic and ideological nature of the repressions and reveals how they affected the intellectual potential of society. The article deeply studies such important processes as the disruption of scientific heritage, the collapse of pedagogical succession, obstacles to the development of national educational concepts, and the intellectual vacuum in society that arose as a result of the repressions of educators and scientists.
