Abdullah Avloni (July 12, 1878, Tashkent — August 25, 1934, Tashkent) was one of the outstanding representatives of Uzbek national culture of the late XIX-early XX century, poet, educator, playwright, journalist, scientist, statesman and public figure.
Avloni joined the Jadidist movement in the early twentieth century. He became known as one of the active participants of the Jadids in Tashkent. Since 1906, he began to publish poetry in print. Having learned Arabic, Persian, and Russian, he read the works of thinkers who wrote in these languages, some of them (for example, the works of Leo Tolstoy, Konstantin Ushinsky) translated into Uzbek. In 1906. Progress, published the newspaper "Shukhrat" at home in 1907. When these newspapers were closed, he secretly published the newspaper "Asia" in 1908. After issue №6, the government also banned this newspaper. Avloni is the first to offer to teach chemistry, geography, physics and astronomy at school. He tried to spread advanced ideas among the people through school: he opened a new methodical school for the children of local residents in the Mirabad mahalla of Tashkent (1908), taught his native language and literature himself. In 1909, he founded the Relief Society, which educated orphaned children. In the same year, he published the first collection of poems in four parts called “Literature or national poems". In 1912, Avloni opened a two-grade school in the Degrez mahalla of Tashkent. It differed from schools in that secular subjects were taught at school.
Avloni wrote and published textbooks and textbooks for new schools (for example, "The first teacher", 1911; "The second teacher", 1912; "Turkish Gulistan or ethics", 1913; collection "Literature or national poems" in 4 parts, 1909-1915; "School Gulistan", 1915;" Singing of the Workers", 1917, etc.). Together with such progressives as munavvarkari, Mukhammadjon Khojaev, Tavallo, Rustambek Yusufbekov, Nizomiddin Khojaev, Shokirjon Rahimi, founded the publishing House (1914), school (1916) partnerships. Aulonius also used theatrical art to raise awareness among the people. He took an active part in the creation and work of a theater troupe called "Turkestan" in 1913. Between 1910 and 1916, he translated and directed several stage works himself. Avloni's stage works were staged in cities such as Tashkent, Ferghana, Andijan, Kokand, Khojent. In these works, extensive paintings of the life of Turkestan at the beginning of the XX century found their expression. Mannon Uygur was educated in Avloni troupe; Hamza, Azerbaijani playwrights Uzair Hajibeyov, and Ruhullah collaborated with the troupe. The inability to give the promised freedom to the people after the October Revolution led to a depression in the poet's work (the poem "In the hour of sorrow", 1919).  Avloni died in Tashkent on August 25, 1934, at the age of 56, and was buried in his Cemetery on Botkin Street.
