چکیده:
The dominance of any country or government over another territory has consequences for the occupied country in various dimensions. Political, economic, social, religious, and sectarian consequences, as well as cultural consequences, are among the most important types of impact in this regard. Russian dominance over independent countries throughout the years has had its specific effects. This is because the Russian government, with a mindset that was opposed to attention to religious issues, imposed many restrictions on these countries and their peoples. Therefore, the present writing, after examining the cultural background of the people of Azerbaijan, has proceeded to describe how the Soviet political dominance over this country occurred. It then evaluated the cultural consequences of this dominance and presented them in two parts: negative and positive. Its negative consequences mainly manifested in the realm of religious culture and led to the physical elimination of scholars and religious elites, the erasure or transformation of the function of religious centers, severe religious oppression and struggle against religious doctrines, and the change and transformation of script and language and the promotion of Marxist thought. However, its positive consequences materialized in the fields of education, research, the development of educational and research institutions, and the establishment of audio and visual media.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Its negative consequences mainly manifested in the sector of religious culture and led to the physical elimination of scholars and religious elites, the erasure or change of use of religious centers, severe religious oppression and struggle against religious teachings, the transformation of script and language, and the promotion of Marxist thought.
3 The dominance of Islamic thought in this region brought about a massive cultural transformation and change, paving the way for the intellectual-cultural development of the people of Azerbaijan; so much so that in the 11th and 12th centuries AD, within the cultural context of Islam, famous scholars and thinkers emerged in the fields of science and literature, some of whom are well-known personalities(1).
But the important and noteworthy point in the era of the Tsars is that the Russian Tsars, unlike their Communist successors, made great efforts toward the Russification of the culture and behaviors of the Muslim Azeri people, and in this path, they established many schools and educational institutions.
3 In total, the Republic of Azerbaijan, during the era of the rule of the Russian Tsars and the two-year independent government of the Musavatists, witnessed great cultural transformations and the emergence of various intellectual currents, and took steps in the path of reforming the educational system, establishing schools, printing houses, universities, literary societies, diverse publications, etc.
