THE "RED" AGE IN EAST TURKESTAN
The first communist government in the world came to power in
Russia. The Muslims of East Turkestan closely followed the develop-
ments in West Turkestan (Kazakh, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Turkmen and Tajik)
territories under Soviet domination, with which they shared common
borders and historical, religious, ethnic and cultural links. In particular,
those such as the late Isa Yusuf Alptekin (who served in West
Turkestan and witnessed the communist Russian oppression at first
hand), warned both the Chinese government and the Muslims of East
Turkestan against the communist menace. It was a common communist
tactic to pay lip service to such concepts as equality, social justice and
the freedoms of nations until they came to power, at which time things
change. Equality would be replaced by the orders of the Politbureau,
social justice by exploitation, and freedoms by expulsions, torture, labor
camps, and mass executions.
