Nazar Eşankul, born on June 15, 1962, is one of the most important authors of contemporary Uzbek literature. Throughout his life, he witnes- sed the last stages of the period when Russia invaded all of Turkestan and Uzbekistan, implementing policies of repression, assimilation, censorship, erasing national and historical values, exploiting societal resources, and corrupting the society from moral and religious perspectives. In our analysis of the story titled “Invasion,” we will primarily fo- cus on demonstrating how Nazar Eşankul extensively uses elements of folk culture in his work. We will categorize the identified elements of folk cultu- re such as idioms, folktales, and legends, under appropriate headings and page numbers. We will also reveal how the author, utilizing these elements of folk culture, narrates how the Soviet Union deceived the Turks with plenty of slogans, attempted to transform the noble Turkic society into sheep after fully invading Turkestan, and looted all the wealth, reducing the country to ruins. The story further illustrates how the Turkish nation turned into sheep, while the Russians transformed into the most frequent- ly used folk element, “beast and monster.” Additionally, we will uncover the author’s intention to shed light on historical events and portray the helplessness of a nation that has lost its independence, using painful expe- riences and symbolic expressions in his storytelling, drawing from events of his own childhood.
