Khivan slave trade refers to the slave trade in the Khanate of Khiva, which was a major center of slave trade in Central Asia from the 17th-century until the annexation of Russian conquest of Khiva in 1873. The slave market in Khiva mainly trafficked slaves from Russia and Persia to the Islamic khanates in Central Asia, but also to India and the Middle East.
Khiva was one of the main slave markets in Central Asia. In Bukhara, Samarkand, Karakul, Karshi and Charju, mainly Iranians, Russians, and some Kalmuks slaves, were traded by Turkmen, Kazakh and Kyrgyz.[1] From the 17th to the 19th century, Khiva was a notorious slave market for captured Russian and Persian slaves.[2]
