September 1

Independence Day in
Uzbekistan is regarded as one
of the most important public
holidays in the country.
On August 31, 1991, the Republic
of Uzbekistan officially declared
its independence from the USSR,
which by that time had already
collapsed.

This declaration was only the initial step in the formation of a
new country on the world map, however. Mixed feelings
overwhelmed the country's population when Uzbekistan gained
independence, as a longing for the former country in which they
were born and raised competed with expectations for a new
and brighter future. 11
