“the mining industry in Central Asia was largely inherited from Soviet times”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Multiple Wikipedia entries and Britannica confirm that Central Asia was administered by the Soviet Union (Soviet Central Asia) and that much of the industrial and energy infrastructure in the region is a legacy of the Soviet era. Specifically, Euractiv mentions the region was an important source of uranium for the first Soviet nuclear bomb, confirming the mining legacy.
