Political, social, economic, and religious-cultural changes that took place in Uzbekistan in the 20th century made an impact on all aspects of a traditional lifestyle, including the status and place of a father in a fmily, relations between fathers and children in an Uzbek family. Research on parents-children relations in the context of old and modern traditions are gaining special importantce. Based on ethnigraphoc material and results of atho-socilogical surveys, the paper examines the issues associated with the place and status of a father in an Uzbek family in the 20th century. The author makes an attempt to find answers to the following questions: what is the difference between the ‘contemporary’ situation and behaviour of fathers from the ‘traditional’ one?; what is the difference between the ‘contemporary’ stereotype, standard fatherhood from the ‘traditional’ one?; which factors influenced the changes of a father’s status and role in a family?; which peculiarities, special mentality traits can be observed in father-children relations of Uzbeks?; what is the place, the status of Uzbek fathers in the contemporary times?
