ADMINISTRATIVE AND TAX SYSTEM OF THE HISAR REGION IN THE LATE XIX - BEGINNING OF XX CENTURIES
Based on rich historical material, the article examines the administrative and tax system of Hisar region at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. It is shown that in the principalities of Eastern Bukhara a class structure typical of feudalism was observed. At the time in question, there were 15 ranks established by Timur (XIV century), and given until the end of the existence of the Bukhara Emirate, both military and civilian officials of Bukhara, such as: bahodur (or alamon ), chukhraoghosi, mirzoboshi, jibachi, karoul-beghi, mirokhur, tuqsoba, eshik-oko-boshi, bey, dodkhoh, inoq, parvonachi, divan-beghi, qush-beghi and atoliq. Among the numerous and varied taxes levied on the working population of the Bukhara Khanate, including the Hisar region, the most important were taxes on livestock ( zakot ) and taxes on agricultural products ( khiroj ). These two taxes, stipulated by Muslim institutions, constituted the main source of income for the Bukhara emirs.
