The article is devoted to the celebrations in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty in the Syrdarya, Fergana and Samarkand regions. On the basis of archival documents and periodicals, jubilee events were recreated among the Russian population and among the «natives». They were supposed to facilitate the merger of the Turkestan region with other parts of the empire. The local population passively, but with interest, participated in the holiday of the «White Czar».
