Summary / Abstract (Note) | For any student of Soviet politics, Uzbekistan's Kamalot youth organisation is immediately familiar. Modelled after the Soviet Komsomol, Kamalot is designed to capture the hearts and minds of Uzbekistan's burgeoning youth population. It may be trite to conclude a country's youth is its future. Nowhere in Central Asia, though, is this more the case than in Uzbekistan. In 2015, 47% of Uzbekistan's population will have been born after the Soviet collapse. |
