In the second half of the 20th century (1950-1991), the Union of Writers of Uzbekistan held a central position in the spiritual life of Soviet society as a key institution. This article systematically analyzes the organizational structure of the Union, its leadership history, directions of spiritual education through literature, as well as the Union's institutional influence on society. The study reveals the dual role of the Union: on one hand, as an instrument of Soviet ideology, and on the other, as a channel for preserving national spirituality and the emergence of national ideas during the period of glasnost in the late 1980s. The article is based on historical-analytical and systemic approaches and offers important conclusions for an objective assessment of spiritual heritage in the era of independence.
