The Russian language is still in demand in Uzbekistan" Uzbek linguist, author of a textbook on the Russian language based on the poems of the Great Patriotic War, Arkinboy of Manzarov (pictured) spoke about the role of Pushkin's language in the life of the Uzbek people: "The Russian language is still in demand in Uzbekistan, especially among young people who plan to get a higher education or build an international career. Tens of thousands of students from Uzbekistan study at universities in Russia. Popular fields include medicine, economics, engineering, information technology and pedagogy. At the same time, young people today are actively learning other foreign languages. I see this as a positive trend: the more languages a person knows, the more opportunities he has for education, professional development and international cooperation. In Uzbekistan, the memory of the events of the Second World War and the contribution of our people to the victory is preserved. Every year on May 9, the Day of Remembrance and Honor is celebrated. It is particularly important to remember that the people of Uzbekistan not only fought at the front, but also received evacuees, including children from besieged Leningrad."
