The article provides a brief historiographical overview of the study of the problem. In particular, since the colonial period of the Russian Empire, the history, ethnographic features, and issues of the social life of the Kuram are studied in detail. For example, in his work on the nature, history and culture of the Upper Akhangaran, I. Yarmatov described the social life, occupations, customs, material culture, folklore, rituals, and even the psychological characteristics of the Kuramintsy living along the slopes of the Aktovsky Ridge and along the banks of streams.

In particular, information is given about the participation of Kuramintsy in the military campaigns of the Kokand Khanate in Tashkent, Avlieta, Shymkent, Turkestan, and Kyzylorda in the early XIX century.
The article notes that during the XIX – XX centuries, there were certain changes in the attitude of Kuramintsy to their ethnicity. In particular, in the twentieth century in relation to ethnicity karaminchev leading the trend began to call themselves Uzbeks.
However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, along with the revival of a sense of national identity in independent Uzbekistan, there is also a revival of a sense of ethnic identity among Kuramintsy. However, this situation does not affect the process of the post-Peno merger of the Kuramins into the Uzbek ethno-cultural unity. This trend is observed in changes in the structure of various rituals, transformed family and social celebrations, religious holidays, which are increasingly oriented to the norms of Tashkent, as the main cultural center of the Republic.
