This article explores the long-term socio-cultural and psychological impact of Stalinist political repressions on the families of the victims in Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan. Drawing from oral histories, archival documents, and sociological studies, the research examines how the trauma of repression has shaped collective memory and identity across generations. The study also investigates the concept of "social sanctity" as attributed to the victims’ families and their role in preserving national historical consciousness.
