by the Soviet system. Like many representatives of the new generation in 1926, Sharaf Rashidov went 
to a seven-year school in Jizzakh. This educational institution, which later received the name of the 10th 
secondary school named after N. Narimanov, also has a long history. It was opened in 1883 as a 
Russian-native school. Over the years, many graduates of this school have become state figures, have 
reached great heights in science, culture and art [4: 22]. 
According to the memoirs of contemporaries, Sharaf Rashidov had a strong memory and easily 
learned lessons. In 1933, Sh. Rashidov graduated from a seven-year school and entered the Jizzakh 
teacher training college. In college, he showed himself not only as a capable student but also as a good 
organizer. Soon he was elected chairman of the trade union committee of the technical school. In these 
years, the literary abilities of Sh. Rashidov also appeared. He wrote poetry for the wall newspaper of a 
technical school. Hamid Alimjan, who moved to Tashkent after the end of the Samarkand pedagogic 
academy, encouraged the poetry of his nephew. 
But Sharaf Rashidov calls Maxim Gorky and Alexander Fadeev an inspiring example and a true 
teacher. Especially the early romantic works of M. Gorky greatly influenced not only the creative choice 
but also the life guidelines of Sh. Rashidov. 
As for contemporary national literature, Sharaf Rashidov placed the first position on the new 
Uzbek literature and art, Khamza Khakimzada Niyazi and his works, in the first place according to his 
influence on him. And this influence was not limited to the literary activities of Niyazi, it was also 
supported by his practical activities. Khamza conducted diverse public work, fought for the liberation of 
women, exposed the actions of nationalists. In the personality of Khamza, his activity and creativity, 
according to Rashidov, the best features of the Uzbek people at that crucial stage of history, which was 
marked by the collapse of the old feudal society and the birth of a new society, found expression. In the 
works of Khamza, young Sharaf was most impressed with sympathy for the plight of the people, the 
criticism of the morals of those in power, calls for the enlightenment of the people, as well as his fiery 
motives, calling for an active struggle for rebuilding an unjust world. Sharaf himself was entirely on the 
side of Khamza, who was consciously and firmly in the ranks of supporters of the socialist revolution 
[3: 65-66]. 
Advances in Uzbekistan's economy in the 1930s allowed more attention to be given to education 
and health. The collective farm structure was eventually established in the republic's agricultural sector 
during these years. Selection in the nation took place at an accelerated pace with serious violations of 
the rule of law, because by the end of the first five-year program, that is, by 1934, the Center put 
forward the promise of gaining the cotton freedom of the USSR. So, the collectivization of cultivation 
was accomplished during the duration of the first and second five-year plans. In 1937, 95 per cent of 
farmers were merged into collective farms and 99.4 % of the acreage. However, during this time, 
thousands of prosperous peasants were repressed, there was significant damage to the traditional 
agricultural culture of our people. The main blow to collectivization came from farmers farms located 
on irrigated lands and involved in market relations, which caused great damage to agriculture [1: 39]. 
As a result of this, prosperous farmers farms capable of supplying a sufficient amount of grain and 
other agricultural products to the market were eliminated. Farmers were deprived of their rights and 
property and, together with all their close relatives, were evicted to remote regions (to Siberia, Ukraine 
and Kazakhstan) or newly developed lands. Many of them died, unable to bear the hardships, cold and 
hunger. Mass collectivization led to the fact that more than 60 thousand people were recognized as fists 
and subjected to repression [5].
Sharaf Rashidov, while working in the school, could also benefit society, achieve the honor and 
respect that many parents dreamed about. But this guy was very demanding of himself and set himself 
high goals. In 1936 he graduated from the Jizzakh Pedagogical College and worked as a teacher at the 
school for a year, and then, in 1937, continued his studies at the Faculty of Philology of the Uzbek State 
University in Samarkand [6: 659]. A great influence on Sh. Rashidov was made by his uncle, who, 
despite his youth, was already a famous poet among the people. In 1929, Hamid Alimjan published his 
first collection of poems – “Spring”. 
Sharaf Rashidov became a student in the most difficult period in the history of Uzbekistan. The 
mass repressions that began in the USSR claimed the lives of many intellectual patriots in Uzbekistan: 
Munavvar Kori Abdurashidkhanov, Saidnosir Mirzhalilov, Mahmud Khodiev (Botu), Ubaydulla
