Nasruddin Khan, or Nasruddin Beg (Uzbek: Nasriddin Bek), was the last ruler of Khanate of Kokand, then a protectorate of the Russian empire.
Biography
He rose to power in July 1875 when his father Khudayar fled uprisings in the Ferghana Valley.
On 22 September 1875, the Russian Lieutenant General von Kaufmann forced Nasreddin Khan to sign a treaty in the city of Margilan, containing harsh conditions for the Khanate and a payment of 2 million rubles. The dissatisfied people of Kokand rebelled against this agreement, and on 9 October 1875, the rebels occupied the capital. Subsequently, Nasriddin Khan fled to Tashkent and was replaced by Pulat Khan, the leader of the rebellion.
As a reaction, a Russian army under command of Mikhail Skobelev attacked and defeated the rebels and ravaged large parts of the country, destroying Patia and the city of Andijan, causing many casualties. Pulat Khan took refuge in the Alai mountains, but was taken prisoner and was executed. The population of Kokand then sent a delegation to Khodjend, where Nasrudin was, asking for his return. Nasrudin returned to Kokand as new Khan, but the Russians had already decided to dissolve and annex the Khanate.
The Khanate of Kokand was abolished on 19 February 1876, and the region annexed to Ferghana Oblast.[1][2]
The last Khan Nasrudin was finally able to go and live quietly, as he really wanted, in Orenburg, with a pension.
