The Victory Park

Victory Park is a memorial complex of New Uzbekistan, which opened on the specified date, to the 75th anniversary of the Victory in World War II, despite the fact that its construction was complicated by quarantine restrictions in 2020. The project of this park was developed in accordance with the decree of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in 2019. The park covered not only the history of the war years, but also the history of Uzbekistan up to the present day.

Victory Park is designed in such way that it allows you to experience the full range of emotions of the war years: horror at the very beginning of the war, fear for five long years, support and prayers of families, brave heroism and steadfastness of soldiers, grief and pain of loss, gratitude and joy of Victory, and most importantly – boundless love, which connected the as red thread all these emotions.

The first zone of the Park begins with the first day of the war – June 22, 1941 – “The Horrors of War”.

After the first zone, visitors enter a more “calm” infirmary, where the models vividly convey how doctors fought for the lives of wounded soldiers.
