Whoa! Was he Uzbek?

The Khivan khanate thing sticks out at me. I lived a year in central asia, I'd love to hear more.



No, Chinese. His family left Qing within months of him being born when the country was on its dying breath.

Khiva was still at least nominally a vassal, but somewhat independent state. A decade after they arrived, Russia finally annexed it completely, but only to be toppled itself by communists just few years later.
