Power, Politics and Shakespeare in Uzbekistan

Available for over a year

Natalia Antelava charts the spectacular fall from grace of Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of Uzbekistan’s autocratic president. She hears a first hand account of the bitter family feud from Gulnara’s 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. (Photo: Islam Karimov with his grandfather. BBC Copyright)
