Museum of Victims of Repressions

A new museum in Tashkent is devoted to raising awareness about repression during the tsarist and Soviet eras.




During the early years of Uzbek independence, official policy emphasized
the renewal of ancient national traditions over the exploration of the
recent past. The emphasis began to change in mid-1999 with the Cabinet
of Ministers' resolution on "immortalizing the memory of those who
sacrificed themselves for the freedom of their nation and people." In a
country where public discourse is still dictated from the top down, this
resolution laid the framework for public discussion of "victims of the
colonial era" and "victims of repression."
