At the beginning of the 19th century, the Bukhara Emirate included the Zeravshan valley, Kashka-Darya and the Merv oasis. Bukhara, on the other hand, owned a significant part of modern Afghan Turkestan, as well as a number of regions of present-day Tajikistan, sometimes also Khojent, Ura-Tyube.
The period of the reign of Emir Haydar was rich in events. He had to suppress the rebellion of the Ktay Kipchaks in Miankal, the Uzbek tribe Keneges in Shakhrisabz. According to local historian Ahmad Donish, Emir Haydar "faced with strife and tribal strife, pacified the elders and heads of tribes and after that began to rule quietly." Foreigners were appointed to government positions instead of Uzbek leaders. “At first glance, such actions seemed to be salutary for the state, but later they brought great harm to the outskirts of the country, since during the reign of his son, Emir Nasrullo, these elders and tribal leaders could not perform any duties and gave the region to enemies.[2]
Emir Haydar maintained diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. In 1803, the Bukhara ambassador Ishmukhammad Baikishiev was received by the Russian emperor Alexander I in St. Petersburg.[3]
In 1815, the Bukhara ambassador Muhammad Yusuf divanbegi arrived in St. Petersburg to congratulate the Russian emperor on the victory over Napoleon[4]
Emir Haydar died in 1826 and was succeeded by Mir Hussein bin Haydar, (1826–1827) who in 1827 was succeeded by Nasrullah.
