Hujum unveiling campaign (1927)
On the Stalin’s Soviet Union map as “The hujum”
8 Mar 1927 — On International Women’s Day, thousands of women in Samarkand, then the Uzbek capital, and other cities cast off and burned their paranji veils in a party campaign called the hujum (“assault”). A violent backlash followed, in which hundreds of unveiled women were murdered.
