Abstract:This article highlights the activities of Soviet Central Asian intellectuals within the Soviet Committee for Solidarity with African and Asian Countries (SKSSAA). It focuses on the activities of the SKSSAA directly related to UNESCO. The article's main argument is that the SKSSAA activated the UNESCO East-West Project (1956–1966) with the specific aim to advance a historical agenda that posited the Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity at its center. When looking at the UNESCO Peoples' History of Asia project, this article examines the intermediary role of Soviet Central Asian intellectuals, and it suggests that their approach to history resonated with lived experiences of complex solidarities that often transcended the boundaries of states. While there were political reasons for the disintegration of the UNESCO History of Asia project, such as the Indo-Chinese border war, the UNESCO regimes of professionalization seriously undermined the imaginary landscapes that the Peoples' History of Asia project sought to sustain.

联合国教科文组织中的苏联“亚非人”：重新定位世界历史

摘要：本文重点介绍苏联中亚知识分子在苏联声援亚非国家委员会（SKSSAA）内的活动。它侧重于与教科文组织直接相关的 SKSSAA 的活动。这篇文章的主要论点是，SKSSAA 启动了联合国教科文组织东西方项目（1956-1966 年），其具体目标是推进以亚非人民团结为中心的历史议程。在考察联合国教科文组织亚洲人民的历史项目时，本文考察了苏联中亚知识分子的中介作用，并表明他们对历史的态度与经常超越国家边界的复杂团结的生活经历产生共鸣。
