Adams University of California, Berkely, USA Accounts of national renewal in the republics of the former Soviet Union tend to present these regions as awakening from a long slumber of cultural repression. In this paper I argue against this notion, examining the ways that Soviet cultural institutions developed some aspects of national culture in Uzbekistan while suppressing others. The effects of Soviet institutions and ways of thinking about culture are examined in the context of contemporary cultural production in Uzbekistan, specifically the production of national holiday spectacles. Based on observation

Weather in all regions Uzbekistan Attractions Tashkent The Uzbek capital, once the fourth largest city in the former USSR, is Central Asia's hub and has better international flight connections than any other city in the region. That said, it's not a picture-postcard destination. Thanks to a huge earthquake in 1966 and the subsequent enthusiasm of Soviet planners, little remains of the city's 2000-year history. Most visitors agree that Tashkent is the most Soviet city in Central Asia and it's said that many of the region's anxious Slavs who won't or can't return to the Motherland are moving to the relative cultural security of this city since it is still at least half Russian-speaking (if not Russian). Samarkand No name is as evocative of the romance of the Silk Road as Samarkand. For most people it's as mythical as Atlantis or as remote and legendary as Timbuktoo. The reality, as usual, is harsher, but not by much. The sublime larger-than-life monuments of Timur, the technicolour bazaar and the city's long, rich history work a special kind of magic, though outside the historical core is a sprawling Soviet-style city with few redeeming features. Bukhara With buildings spanning 1000 years of history and a thoroughly lived-in city centre that hasn't changed much in two centuries, Bukhara is one of the best places in Central Asia to catch a glimpse of pre-Russian Turkestan. After Samarkand's luminous mosaics, Bukhara's universal brown is a bit of an optical anti-climax. But since most of the city centre is an architectural preserve - and includes a massive, royal fortress, plenty of former medressas, a number of ancient public baths and the remnants of a once-vast market complex - who can complain about a mere colour scheme?

PGR Projects Some of the world's most audacious and beautiful examples of Islamic religious buildings are to be found in Uzbekistan's Bukhara, Khiva and, especially, Samarkand. Most of the monumental mosques, minarets, mausolea and monasteries date from the time of the Timurids, great appreciators of glitzy, glazed goth-ish glories. Uzbekistan's folk art has tended towards the portable - clothes, arms, jewellery, weaving, embroidery and rugs - in tune with semi-nomadic living. Islam prohibits the depiction of the living, so traditional arts developed in the form of calligraphy, combining Islamic script with arabesques, and the carving of doors and screens. u z b e k i s t a n Painting was revived under the Soviets and became a curious hybrid of socialist realism and mock traditionalism - try smiling Ukbeks at a teahouse with futuristic chimneys thrusting skywards in the background. Uzbek men usually wear sombre colours, except for the bright-coloured sash which older men use to close their long quilted coats. Nearly all wear the

"They said my brother was in detention," Karima Eshonova recalled. "They said he was seriously ill and we had to go." So she and her elder brother made the long journey from their home outside the capital, Tashkent, to the town of Karshi, where her brother Orif was being held. The next day, after a long, fruitless search, they were told at the prosecutor's office that Orif had been suffering from high blood pressure, and had died from water on the lungs. Then she saw his body. "He had a broken finger. Sharp objects had been forced under his finger nails. There were bruises all over his arms and body. He had been beaten on the soles of his feet," she told Reuters. Orif Eshonov, 38, had just become Uzbekistan's latest victim of torture a plague which New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) says has claimed 10 lives in the last 18 months, since the country became a crucial ally of the U.S. in its "war against terror", started in neighbouring Afghanistan.
