The Uzbek diaspora obtained from the local authorities the opening of a memorial monument in honor of the Uzbek wars in the Leningrad region. It was reported that the Diaspora people and representatives of the local authorities were present at the opening. The steel was installed in the area of the commemorative complex of Ramat Sinivinsky. The opening ceremony of the stela "in honor of the brave sons of the Uzbek people who showed bravery under the walls of Leningrad (1941-1944)" took place on the territory of the Sinivinsky Plateau memorial complex. Let us recall that in October 1943, the State Defense Committee of the USSR made a decision according to which conscripts from "local nationalities" of several republics, including the Uzbek SSR, were not subject to conscription, and before that, Russians living in Uzbekistan at that time were actively recruited from Uzbekistan. People in the comments are angry that the choice fell on Uzbeks, and not on Russians, Belarusians or Tatars, for example. News from the world of eternal struggle.
