Protecting Values
A person needs peace of mind and balance every day. Peace of mind is a state of harmony with the whole world and, above all, with oneself. Peace of mind is the key to progress. We are a peaceful people. We have a great national spiritual heritage dedicated to this idea.
1 mln 433 230 230 people from Uzbekistan participated in the Second World War. 604 thousand 52 compatriots returned with disabilities from the war, and more than 450 thousand of our compatriots died in bloody battles.
On October 25, 2019, students of the 307 group of the direction “Water Management and Melioration” of the department of irrigation and melioration together with the group curator T. Apakhudjayeva visited Independence Square.
The central place on Independence Square is occupied by the Alley of Memory and Glory. On either side of it are galleries decorated with carved granite and grates. On them, on fourteen steles (symbolizing the regions of Uzbekistan) there are stylized pages of the Book of Memory, in which the names of more than a million Uzbek people who sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom on the fronts of the Second World War are engraved in gold letters. After walking along the Walk of Fame and Memory, visitors get to the Eternal Flame and the monument to the Grieving Mother, at the foot of which people always bring fresh flowers. The names of those who did not return from the front are immortalized on the pages of the 35-volume Book of Memory “Khotira”, published in the republic since the mid-90s.
The purpose of this visit is to further strengthen the atmosphere of kindness, harmony, humanism, generosity and mercy in our country, to educate the younger generation in the spirit of devotion to national traditions, and respect for universal values. It is important for young people to remember our ancestors, to love our Motherland, to preserve peace and tranquility, to be worthy of its people.
