December 22, 2021 Episode 37-the Russian Civil War the Musburo: Creating a Muslim Nationalist-Communist Cadre in Turkestan, 1919
Kobozev arrived in Turkestan in 1918 and tried to bring order to the

Muslim Communist Organizations of Turkestan (the Musburo). However, when
the Muslims start using the language and principles of Communism
against the Bolsheviks and with a horrible famine and ethnic strife
increasing, it becomes clear that a military man is needed to bring
order to the region
