Emin Rasulzade constitutes a kind of feminist approach. At the same Rasulzade’s literary analyze indicates a range of aspects in Nizami’s Khamsa (The Five Jewels) which can be defined as the characteristics of prefeminist literature. One of the focuses Rasulzade has in his analyze is aimed at the relation to women and the various female characters in Nizami’s poetry. Among the findings, Rasulzade’s claim should be named that by narrating the story of Leyli and Mejnun and by depicting Leyli’s suffering, Nizami presents his own view on women, where he rejects the wrong view on women and womanhood dominated in the medieval society. Rasulzade shows that while Nizami describes femininity as a source of compassion, creativity, and happiness, he extols the female mind, intellect, struggle and perseverance of women and sometimes their demand for equality.

These events not only radically changed the geopolitical situation in the region but also turned out to be a historical turning point for the peoples of this region, particularly the Azerbaijani, who had lived compactly until that time on the vast territories from the north of Iran to the south of the Caucasus.

of Azerbaijan in July 1918 to investigate the violence and massacares carried out against the Muslim population and their property in the entire Transcaucasia
since the beginning of World War I. The book-album includes the rarest photographs taken and collected by the EIC which depict the tragic consequences of
the events in March and July 1918 in city’s of Baku, Shamakhi and villages of the Shamakhi and Goychay counties, where rampaging Armenian/Bolshevik armed
forces killed tens of thousands of Azerbaijani civilians and destroyed architectural monuments, mosques, residential areas, entire villages, civil and commercial
properties, schools, and hospitals owned by Muslims. About 100 photos of the EIC were sent to France with the Azerbaijani delegation to the Paris Peace Conference
and were presented to the heads of many foreign countries there. None of these photos could be found in the country, and for over 90 years they were
considered to be lost. 102 photos were found in foreign archives and presented to the author of the album-book, Solmaz Rustamova-Tohidi, PhD, Professor of
History. The publication also includes EIC documents relevant to the photos.

For the Bolsheviks, Baku was not just another city inherited from the fallen Tsarist Empire but was a bastion from where the revolution would set the East ablaze. The fallen empire's immediate neighbours, Iran and the Ottoman Empire, were entangled in the political turmoil of change and revolution, and from Southeast Asia the echoes resounded of the anti-British Indian nationalist uprising. For the Bolsheviks, expanding the revolution to the West and to East Asia became essential to safeguard the revolution at home. In September 1920, it was with this mission in mind that the Communist International (Comintern) called for the First Congress of the People of the East to be held in Baku. In his opening address, Zinoviev, the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Comintern appealed to the hundreds of delegates , the majority of them Muslims from Asia and Africa, as well as to the people from the Tsarist Empire's colonies in Central Asia and the Caucasus, to join the Russian revolution and wage a jihad against British imperialism.

«Куба. Апрель-май 1918 г. Мусульманские погромы в документах». Баку: 2012, 328 стр.

Настоящее издание является сокращенным вариантом сборника документов «Куба. Апрель-май 1918 г. ... more Настоящее издание является сокращенным вариантом сборника документов «Куба. Апрель-май 1918 г. Мусульманские погромы в документах». Баку, 2010 г., 552 стр.
Документы, вошедшие в сборник были собраны и составлены Чрезвычайной Следственной Комиссией, созданной Азербайджанским Правительством в июле 1918 г., для расследования фактов насилия, погромов и мародерства, произведенных в отношении мусульманского на-селения и их имущества в пределах всего Закавказья с начала первой мировой войны. В данный сборник вошли материалы ЧСК по следственному делу «О разгроме г. Кубы и селений Кубинского уезда», которые позволяют рассмотреть трагические события в апреле-мае 1918 г. в Кубинском уезде, когда в течении нескольких дней были зверски убиты более 4-х тысяч мирных жителей, в том числе женщин, детей и стариков, разрушены и сожжены сотни се¬лений, домов, мечетей, гражданских объектов, разграблено и уничтожено имущество, при¬надлежащее всему мусульманскому населению – азербайджанцам, лезгинам, татам, аварам и т.д. В трех разделах сборника собраны свидетельские показания жителей г. Кубы и селений Кубинского уезда, создающие хронологию начала и развития мусульманских погромов, приговоры сельских обществ уезда, позволяющие установить наиболее точные цифры о числе пострадавших, пол, возраст, имена убитых и истерзанных людей, размеры нанесенных убытков, названия сожженных, разгромленных и разоренных селений, и т.д. Раскрывая в деталях преступные деяния армянских формирований, документы сборника свидетельствуют о том, что ку¬бин¬ские события были составной частью более масштабных операций и планов армянских на-циона¬листов, стремящихся к максимальному уменьшению численности мусульманского населения во всех азербайджанских регионах, которые они рассматривали как потенциальные территории для своего будущего государства.
В сборник также включены научный очерк, посвященный истории вопроса, подробный информационно-вспомогательный аппарат и фотографии. Приложена карта Кубинского уезда 1918 г. со специальным содержанием.

April-May 1918. Collection of Files, Baku, 2010, 552 pages. Published with the support of the Ministry of National Security, the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Documents included in the collection were drafted and compiled by the Ad Hoc Investigation Commission established by the Government of Azerbaijan in July 1918 with a view to examining the facts of violence, pogroms and loot towards the Muslim residents and their property all over Transcaucasia as of the beginning of World War 1. The present collection comprises records of The Devastation of the Town of Guba and Villages of Guba Uyezd Case. The records shed the light on tragic events of April-May in Guba Uyezd (name for administrative districts in Czarist
Russia) when more than 4 thousand civilians, women, children and elderly ones among them, were brutally massacred, hundreds of villages, households, mosques and public facilities leveled and plundered, assets of the Muslim population of the Azerbaijani, Lezghin, Tat, Avar and other origins looted and destroyed. The three sections of the book present witness testimonies of residents of the town of Guba and adjacent villages of Guba Uyezd recreating the chronology of Muslims’ pogroms,
verdicts by rural communities of the Uyezd with numbers of people slain and slaughtered, the size of damages inflicted, the names of villages plundered and devastated, etc. Revealing the details of criminal offences committed by the Armenian
militants, the records hereby provided clearly indicate that the events in Guba were a part and parcel of large-scale action plans and operations by the Armenian
nationalists aiming at maximum possible decrease of the indigenous Muslim population in all Azerbaijani regions viewed as potential territories for their desired Armenian state.
The Collection also includes the historic essay re-edited by the author with detailed reference information and photographs. The map of Guba Uyezd as of 1918 with special comments enclosed.
