It is clarified that the “Blockade Swallow” project was created to preserve the memory of the victory of the Soviet people over the fascist invader.
Therefore, the project aims to express gratitude to the residents of the Sverdlovsk region to the cities and countries that received evacuees during the years of the “hungry” war and shared bread and shelter with them. Within the framework of the project, a series of historical and cultural events are also planned to be held in Tashkent from May 21 to 24.
Let us remember that today the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, participated in the Victory Parade and laid flowers at the grave of the unknown soldier. The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Shavkat Mirziyoyev held bilateral negotiations.
