The author of the article presents mostly valuable historiographical works of Soviet and post-Soviet periods in which he expounds the results of the explorations associated with the different problems of history in regard to Bukhara khanate. In his review the author included fundamental works of the historians of the Soviet period who paid special attention to such issues as: history of social-economic relations, various spheres of population’s life activities, forms of land owning, state of agriculture and handicrafts, etc. The peculiarity of the post-Soviet historiography dealing with Bukhara emirate is a deideologization of the contents of historical researches. Hereby, the best traditions of the Soviet historical school were continued. Foreign historiography is presented mainly with the productions of English-speaking researchers. Western literature is divided conventionally into those ones of biographical and geopolitical slants. Upon the whole there formed certain scientific traditions and succession in the European historiography which determined a leading position of a number of scholars. The author marks a broad scale and different slants in reference to the historical works dwelling on the theme in question.
