The stronghold of obscurantism fell: how Frunze took Bukhara

On September 1, 1920, the Red Army units of the Turkestan Front took Bukhara by attack. The combat effectiveness of its defenders fell after the raid of Soviet bombers. The very next day, September 2, the front commander Mikhail Frunze reported to Vladimir Lenin on the liquidation of the independent Bukhara emirate. Emir Seyid Alim Khan fled to Afghanistan. And on the captured territory, the Bolsheviks proclaimed a people's Soviet republic.
