Power, Politics and Shakespeare in Uzbekistan
Islam Karimov Jr, the Uzbek president鈥檚 grandson, on the feud that has torn his family apart.
Natalia Antelava charts the spectacular fall from grace of Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of Uzbekistan鈥檚 autocratic president. She hears a first hand account of the bitter family feud from Gulnara鈥檚 own son Islam Karimov Jr. Once described as the most hated woman in Uzbekistan for her excessive lifestyle and alleged corrupt practices, Gulnara is unlikely to get much sympathy from her compatriots. But what happens to her and her son? Whoever wins the power struggle at the heart of politics in Uzbekistan, is likely to affect them all.
