The novel "Junaidhan" is dedicated to the dramatic events in Khorezm during the years of the collapse of imperial power and the Civil War. The story focuses on the figure of Junaidkhan, one of the most controversial leaders of the Turkmen resistance, and the fate of people caught up in a brutal maelstrom of violence, revenge, and power struggle. Cheprunov shows a complex interweaving of ancestral traditions, religious authorities, social conflicts and external interference, creating a polyphonic picture of an era in which neither side has absolute truth. The novel was published in 1936, on the eve of the Great Terror. In 1937, the author was arrested, and in 1938 he was shot. He was posthumously rehabilitated in 1957. with a foreword by Viktor Yerofeyev
