+# Research pass: Kyrgyzstan 1934 Soviet-ban article
+
+Research checked on 26 October 2026. The union-wide 1934 sowing ban gains
+a properly sourced article built from the decree text and a Kyrgyz
+Interior Ministry Academy history, both read in full. No entry, score,
+profile or timeline changes — the Kyrgyz, Uzbek and Tajik 1934 entries
+were checked against the fresh reads and needed no correction.
+
+## What was verified (all sources actually read)
+
+### USSR decree of 27 October 1934 (Istmat, Russian original read in full)
+
+- Collected Laws of the USSR, No. 56, art. 422 (Moscow 1948 collection):
+  union-wide ban on sowing opium poppy and Indian hemp except harvests
+  exclusively for USSR medical/scientific needs; annual district quotas by
+  the agriculture commissariat (by 15 August, with foreign-trade and
+  republic-health agreement); permits via republic land organs; criminal
+  liability for unlicensed sowing with mandatory confiscation; republic
+  CECs to amend criminal codes; in force from 1935; repeals the 1927
+  poppy decree; Kalinin and Molotov.
+- New `articles/kyrgyzstan-soviet-ban-1934.md` (368 words, 4 sections,
+  both sources cited; links to the 1965 Chuy entry, the Uzbek 1934 entry
+  and /country/kg/).
+
+### Kyrgyz Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs journal, 2024
+(Malabaev et al., printed pp. 88–90, read in full)
+
+- 1950s–60s state hemp/poppy cultivation; autumn influx of addicts and
+  speculators (310 kg hashish in three years per Usobaliev's memoirs);
+  Frunze tobacco-factory lacing; hashish smoking among school youth;
+  rising hashish-intoxication crime; Usobaliev pressing Moscow from 1962;
+  chemical-industry substitute by early 1964; 3 June 1964 USSR decree
+  banning southern Chuy hemp from 1965, ordering non-narcotic varieties,
+  banning household-plot hemp nationwide, liquidating wild hemp;
+  conversion of the Chuy station and abolition of the seed station.
+- Entry cross-check: every dated claim in `kyrgyzstan-soviet-ban-1934`
+  (medical exception, criminal liability, confiscation, code amendments,
+  October 1934 signature, 1965 Chuy decision) matches the fresh reads;
+  locator details confirmed. No edit made.
+
+Claim boundaries: Russian legal terms rendered in plain English
+equivalents (sowing, confiscation, criminal liability); the 310 kg figure
+is the memoir's, cited as such; no claims about post-Soviet enforcement.
+
+## Dead ends recorded, not forced
+
+- The 1927 repealed poppy decree was not pursued (background only).
+- No article attempted for the Baltics 1940 imposition: the mechanism and
+  timing of Soviet drug law's application there remain unconfirmed, as the
+  entries honestly state.
+
+## Verification and files
+
+- `npm run build`, `npm run history:test`, `npm run answers:test` all green;
+  rendered `/history/kyrgyzstan-soviet-ban-1934/` citation marks checked.
+- Commit limited to own work: the new article plus this note (no
+  changes.yaml edits). Foreign staged/worktree files excluded and
+  preserved.
