Abstract: This article provides an analysis of the work of Russian Turkestanologists on the conquest of Central Asia by the Russian empire. The authors of most of the works were the top officers of the Russian army, or military figures who were active participants of military campaigns in Central Asia. Both the special works on general history of the conquest of Central Asia as well as the works on the history of seizure of specific khanates, cities, or battles are brought to the historiographical analysis. These works were composed from the 60-s of the 19th century, up to the beginning of the 20th century, and formed the basis of one of the areas of Russian Oriental studies - Turkestan studies. An analysis of these works makes it possible to identify the reasons for the start of active hostilities by the Russian Empire, a description of the course of events, military skills of the howling sides and the consequences of these events for the peoples of the Central Asian region.
Key words: The conquest of Central Asia, the history of Turkestan, the history of Central Asia and the Central Asian khanates, 19th century, historiography, military actions, sources, an analysis.
