Relevance: in the history of the Second World War, there are problems that have become problematic for researchers who seek a fair study and objective interpretation of historical events and phenomena in certain historical periods. Some of these issues led to political repression during the Stalinism period. For the peoples of Soviet Central Asia, such a problem was the history of the activities of the Turkestan National Association during the Second World War, the idea of creating “greater Turkestan” and the Turkestan Legion.

The aim of the project is to study the history of the activities of the Turkestan National Association in European states, to determine its role in the project of creating the Turkestan Legion, consisting of “Great Turkestan” and prisoners of war ‒ representatives of the peoples of the Soviet Central Asian republics, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the history of the Turkestan Legion.
