watching TV, art, arts, reading books, picnics, other entertainment and activities, as well as a 
relatively new form of leisure activities such as volunteering [5.1-2]. It is the second aspect that 
becomes the subject of ethnology.
The modern study of the history of youth leisure activities cannot be imagined without an 
analysis of the studies of Central Asian scientists. In this regard, within the framework of the 
problem-regional approach of modern study, the literature is divided into the following stages.
The first group includes literature, where there are ethno-cultural features of the leisure of 
the Uzbek youth of the XX-XXI century. 
The second group includes published materials on the leisure activities of the Kazakh youth 
of the XX-XXI centuries. 
The third group includes materials related to the pastime of the Kyrgyz youth and its 
features in the ethno-cultural space of the XX-XXI centuries. 
The fourth group includes the leisure of Tajik youth at the beginning of the 21st century.
Among the initial groups of sources containing direct data on leisure forms available to 
Uzbek researchers, first of all, it is necessary to name the works of historians Sagindikov J.N., 
Umarov B., Zhabbarov Sh., Nasirova A.M., Gonashvili A.S., Shopulatova A.N., Kasimova N.S., 
Nazarova N.N., Yakubova F.M., Khaknazarova Kh.D.
In the work of Sagindikov J.N. "Improving the forms of leisure and spiritual communication 
of rural workers in the conditions of developed socialism" contains rich material on the problem 
under study. The thesis uses the results of a specific sociological study of the leisure activities of 
1300 young people living in rural areas of Karakalpakstan (Shumanai, Kegeyli and Karauzyak 
regions), as well as the Fergana region in the period 1983-1986 [6.1-12].
A great contribution to the study of this topic was made by B. Umarov and Sh. Zhabbarov 
with their scientific research "Globalization and education of youth", which describes not only the 
problems of preserving national values, educating youth in the period of globalization, but also the 
mass culture of the XXI century [7.5-12]. The issues of leisure activities of young people living in 
Uzbekistan are covered by a safe analysis in the work of Nasirov A.M. "Pedagogical possibilities of 
culture in the conditions of festive leisure" [8.1-10]. In her opinion, the peculiarity of gaming 
leisure in the dynamic flow of human life activity allows us to say that it is holiday games that bring 
together the creative and spiritual potentials of the individual. And the ability to play and celebrate 
is considered as an indicator of the spiritual health of the individual, people, society. 
Of interest is the study presented as a comparative analysis by Gonashvili A.S., Shopulatova 
A.N., Kasimova N.S., Nazarova N.N., Yakubova F.M., which is valuable because it focuses on the 
sociological method and the definition that young people spend their free time more often in sports 
than in studies [9.8]. For a more complete ethnological characterization of the issue under 
consideration, the work of Khaknazarov H.D. “Life of the youth of uzbekistan” was studied [10. 3-
11]. The work analyzes in detail the culture, its value and the impact of globalization processes on 
the Uzbek youth of the XXI century. In addition, the ethnographer in his dissertation considers the 
leisure of the youth of the republic. A number of Kazakh scientists have also investigated this 
issue. For example, Tanekeyev M., does not separate the leisure of girls and boys from national 
types of games that allow you to demonstrate courage, stamina, patriotism, tolerance, dexterity, 
ingenuity, composure and other qualities. At the same time, the Kazakh national games: kokpar, 
kures, tenge alu, kyz kuu and others are based on the highest principles of justice and morality and, 
along with the development of a sports character, are of great educational importance [11.3]. 
In his article "Games as leisure of modern Kazakhstani youth" [12.141] Tastankulov E. S. 
and Daniyarova A. R. show the ways of forming the modern culture of the younger generation, 
taking into account the influence of games on spirituality, awareness of the reality of the world and 
the virtuality of the gaming space. The study also raises the problem of turning to a person and
