The story

Remembrance Day Uzbekistan in Nationwide

Uzbekistan observes Xotira va Qadrlash Kuni, the Day of Memory and Honor, on May 9 each year to commemorate the roughly one and a half million citizens of Uzbekistan who served in the Second World War and the many who did not return. Wreath-laying ceremonies, moments of silence, and visits to veterans mark the solemn national holiday.

Xotira va Qadrlash Kuni, the Day of Memory and Honor, falls on May 9 and commemorates the roughly one and a half million people from what is now Uzbekistan who were mobilized into Soviet forces during the Second World War, alongside the hundreds of thousands who did not return home.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The day centers on Tashkent's Memorial to the Grieving Mother in Independence Square, where an eternal flame and an inscribed wall of names honor the fallen, drawing officials, veterans, and ordinary citizens for a formal wreath-laying and moment of silence each morning

02

The mystery stays covered

Unlike Russia's Victory Day, which frames May 9 around military triumph, Uzbekistan's official framing emphasizes memory, mourning, and gratitude toward surviving veterans and their families, reflecting a deliberate post-independence shift in how the country marks its wartime losses

03

The city starts moving

Local ceremonies are echoed at memorials in every region, and schoolchildren often visit elderly veterans in their neighborhoods
