Initially, the enlightened vizier Islam Khodja played a large role in the running of the state.

Using his money, a cotton gin plant, a hospital, a post mail, a telegraph and a secular school were built.

Between 1908 and 1910, Islam Khodja built an ensemble of buildings in the Southeast of Itchan Kala, consisting of the smallest madrasa and the largest minaret in Khiva.

The Khan was forced to publish a manifesto in which he promised to create a representative body - the Majlis, which also included members of the Young Khivans.

Many were dissatisfied with Isfandiyar Khan's actions, especially after the October Revolution, when Khivans learned about the reforms in Russia.

As a result, the Young Khiva government was overthrown and all the reforms Isfandiyar Khan announced were cancelled.
