On the occasion of the auspicious holiday of our country's independence, the "Independence Hour" lessons organized under the "Future Hour" rubric at the "Silk Road" International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage were this time dedicated to the memory of the Victims of Political Repression. Dean of the university N. Khushvaqtov delivered a lecture at the event, dwelling in detail on the courage and spiritual heritage of our enlightened ancestors and victims of repression who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of our people and the independence of our country. As emphasized, these historical lessons play an important role in appreciating our present peaceful and quiet days, recognizing national identity, and preserving the blessing of independence. During the lesson, which took place in the form of practical exercises and sincere dialogue, the student youth gained detailed information about the tragic pages of the repression years and the rich educational heritage left by our ancestors, and received answers to the questions that interested them.
