Abstract
On the basis of archival materials introduced into science for the first time the events are reconstructed in the Khorezm Soviet republic (May 1921 - December 1922), connected with the activity of Russian plenipotentiary I.M. Byk, who for the sake of a forcible removal of a government undesirable for him declared that its leaders were the members of the "counter-revolutionary" pan-Islamist Committee of national unity, which had concluded a secret agreement with Djunaid-khan, the head of the Turkmen rebels. For the first time the investigation materials are given about the case of this Committee, among whose members - according to the evidence forced out of those arrested - were not only Ahmed Zaki Validov and the Young Turks' former leader Enver-pasha, but also outstanding "Moslem" communists from Baku, Kazan, Orenburg and Middle Asian republics, including Ilyas Alkin, Ahmed Baytursunov, Turar Ryskulov, Nizametdin Khodjayev, the Bukhara government's chairman Faizulla Khodjayev and others. It is recounted here about the attitude of the Moscow and Turkestan authorities to the November upheaval of 1921 and also about the work of the Russian Soviet Federative Republic's Extraordinary mission in Khiva headed by D.Yu. Gopner; the author traces the destinies of the main participants in the events described by him.
