This article analyzes the article “A Glance at History” written by Sadriddin Ayni, a prominent son of the Bukhara people and one of the leading Uzbek Jadids, published in the June 24, 1938 issue of the newspaper “Bukhara Hakikati”. The study reinterprets how historical processes were covered in the press by applying modern scientific and theoretical approaches. The research systematically examines information about the socio-political structure of the Bukhara Emirate in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including its taxation policy, the activities of officials, and the legal status of the population. Ayni’s critical observations are compared with the current processes of building a rule-of-law state in Uzbekistan, the electoral system, and democratic principles. The study scientifically highlights the continuity between historical developments and today’s reforms.
