more than 100 medressas (with 10,000 stu-
dents) and more than 300 mosques.
In 1753 Mohammed Rahim, the local
deputy of a Persian ruler, proclaimed him-
self emir, founding the Mangit dynasty that
was to rule until the Bolsheviks came. Sev-
eral depraved rulers filled Rahim's shoes;
the worst was probably Nasrullah Khan
(also called 'the Butcher' behind his back),
who ascended the throne in 1826 by killing
off his brothers and 28 other relatives. He
made himself a household name in Victo-
rian England after he executed two British
officers.
In 1868, Russian troops under General
Kaufman occupied Samarkand (which at
the time was within Emir Muzaffar Khan's
domains). Soon afterward Bukhara sur-
rendered, and was made a protectorate of
the tsar, with the emirs still nominally in
charge.
In 1918 a party of emissaries arrived from
Tashkent (by then under Bolshevik control)
to persuade Emir Alim Khan to surrender
peacefully. The wily despot stalled long
enough to allow his agents to stir up an anti-
Russian mob that slaughtered nearly the
whole delegation, and the emir's own army
