dough, by the morning squeeze hundreds of flatbreads out of it with your hands, perfectly round so that they can fly, in a huge heated tandoor, they literally dive to lay out the bottom rows, no other oven will produce bread that inexplicably knows how not to go stale , its own original flatbread... is in every uzbek region, bukhara, tashkent or in the firgana valley, but the whole world knows the samarkan one, many generally consider it the most delicious bread on the planet, the shelf life of which is weeks, and if necessary months. tested especially meticulously, for 10 days the samarkan flatbread even retains its aroma, in another month it can turn into stone, but as soon as it is heated, it returns the taste, they have not tested it for years. here

, it seems, there is nothing fleeting at all, every touch of this city remembers the centuries that, stone by stone, formed the geometry of samarkand from blue domes, mosaics of mausoleums and minororets and madrassas supporting the sky. samarkan registan, unique in central asia. an architectural masterpiece from earlier times, the area seems to be divided by an invisible mirror in half, and its right part is reflected in the left madrasah of ulukbek and sherdor, they are like two peas in a pod, although there are 90 steps and 200 years between them. registan is a miracle born of ambition, an attempt by one ruler to become equal to another. to the legendary grandson

of tamerlane, to place his copy directly opposite his great masterpiece, to repeat the lines, elements, architectural delights of the madrassa, lookbek succeeded, but was there even one chance to create once again an eternal illusion under the domes, through this ornament, the drawing seems convex to you, on actually a dome it turns out to be flat, this is a visualization , a deception of... samarkand, it seems to be woven from legends, like a khan-atlas from silk threads, but among them there is one story that would be enough for this city for all its 2,500 years. the main legend of samarkand lives in the mausoleum, the gurs of the world. everyone knows it in one interpretation or another. in june '41, soviet archaeologists opened tamerlane's grave and the war began. and supposedly return the ashes of the great emperor to their place.

stalin himself said on the eve of the battle for stalingrad. the land of great names, from here timur ruled his empire, ulukbek drew a map of the starry sky here, and avice wrote the canon of medicine, and even the main character of ancient eastern jokes was sent to these lands on a donkey journey. one of the most famous episodes of the film was filmed about the adventures of the great joker in bukhara, which is why he is holding a coin in his hand that he lured the stingy rich man out of the pond. that's how it should be, come on, come on! bukhara, the silk road. as if it were still flowing

through its ancient streets, past the market into the caravanserai and small workshops, where to this day they forge famous scissors that cannot be found anywhere else. we have scissors in the form of a stork, we craftsmen came up with a tuft, this is for a man’s hand, and this is for a woman’s hand, such scissors, they even cut out both cardboard and material, and even these cans of aluminum can be cut out even patterns. it was bukhara that at one time was allowed what was denied to everyone else, in soviet realities, to be the custodian of religious sciences. in 1945, the council of people's commissars decided to open a religious school in bukhara within the walls of the ancient mir arab madrasah. and up to eighty-nine it was the only muslim educational institution in the ussr, where they studied not only religious subjects.

this ancient muslim school has existed for about 3 centuries. here now , education is not limited to spiritual subjects, there is even physical education; in the last century, the arab world became an exemplary religious school for the union. all foreign delegations were taken to bukhara without fail so that guests of the soviet country could see for themselves. in the tolerance reigning in the ussr. muslims in in the soviet country, like believers of all other religions, freely perform their rituals. they are

from the same times as samarkand itself. the sounds of thor and gifts at the walls of golden cities, pearls of the east, as if strung on... here they learned to pick up a cocoon thread a little later than china; in the twentieth century, little margelan became the soviet silk capital, whose factory thundered throughout the country. at the mardeland silk factory in uzbekistan , the production of fabrics, new designs and colors is continuously increasing. over the last five years. the production of printed fabrics at the plant increased 10 times. the heirs of that power even saved the factory machines, which since forty -two have been turning into canvas, white as snow, the miracle of this land. from one cocoon it gives

800 m, 800,000 m, silk furs give, like this, from 3 kg of cocoon to... can only be woven by hand on looms assembled according to old drawings, from threads, each of which is painted separately , an element of the fabric that plays with colors like a rainbow. hanatlas, the color will be the smallest, seven colors will be like the rainbow, because seven

time will paint the chonoplas. the most expensive fabric. they are dyed in boiling vats, where the nut shell gives all shades of yellow, pink is obtained from pomegranate, and brown from ordinary onions. fire and water sometimes create miracles here that no chemistry is capable of; the famous samarkan paper is also born in boiling water. this is only the first stage of its life, which allows you to carefully remove its bark from the mulberry tree, the basis of future paper sheets. elastic , so strong that 1500 years ago connoisseurs preferred them even to chinese ones, divided the fibers, if not necessary, have been preserved for more than a year, so the old quran, another arabic manuscript is already 1,30,700 years old, the new one

will stop, but here now they are trying not to disturb the ancient technology in a single element, even the use of mulberry bark in mortars with the help of .. "i love uzbeks, they start well in winter, this advertisement was amusing in the nineties, but that was the beginning of the journey, today uzbekistan produces 350 thousand cars at breakneck

speed, it is changing the economy, which not so long ago was supported only by cotton, household appliances are now assembled here for uzbek brand, and the manufacturing industry..." not only new ones begin to open and are built , but old connections are remembered, and we have centuries-old connections, so the growth of trade, commodity turnover, growth of investments, cooperation in the cultural and humanitarian sphere, and in fact in all areas , yes, this is going very quickly, there is a special emphasis on tourism, in the future it should... bring the treasury five times more foreign currency than cotton, creating new infrastructure is

a priority task. the logistics have already been decided by running high-speed trains from tashkent to all main cities of the country. the project was named afrosiap in honor of the ancient capital. structurally, afrosiap can accelerate to 250 km/h, but more often it flies 170-190, it’s still much faster than in a car. although not 6 million tons per year, as under the ussr, cotton was and is still the symbol of the republic; a million is enough for textile factories to appear here like mushrooms after rain. one boll of cotton weighs only. 3 grams and how much human effort does this man-made mountain require? the workers of uzbekistan

decided to give their homeland no less than 6 million tons of cotton. in soviet times , uzbekistan and cotton senonyms. nothing grew here except it. 98% of the fertile land was given over to this crop, and the harvest turned into a multi-day national cleanup. now everything is different, the hassle is still the same. in the economy, but is no longer the curse of uzbekistan. cotton and the gift of heaven punishment. just 10 years ago , the world's largest producers refused to buy it in protest against the use of forced labor on uzbek plantations. now free labor is prohibited, sanctions removed, and learned to squeeze everything out of cotton raw material without any residue, even oil. cotton oil is unlike any other oil, sunflower or olive,

it gives any dish a special taste, and it is also anti-allergenic. today , uzbekistan practically does not sell cotton in its raw form; it turned out that trading fabric is 15 times more profitable than raw materials, from here finished products go to 60 countries around the world, and leading textile brands little by little. are moving their production from china to uzbek sites. now everyone the new textile mill is being built as a cluster with a closed production cycle, from field to clothing. the cluster grows its own cotton, processes it itself, makes its own yarn, plus we prepare ready-made cotton and will also employ seamstresses. there are already

one and a half hundred such clusters in uzbekistan, most of the customers are from russia, europe is also catching up, in general there are already so many people who want to sew in uzbekistan that there will soon not be enough of their own cotton. for the first time in a hundred years, they started talking seriously about importing the main national symbol. almost all of this thread goes to products that they order us from.

cultures, hence the future students of the capital , it was a time of oncoming flows of people from universities and brought the fashion for hats unprecedented in the european part. i am the sultan. these boys have parents who are also sultans, vasya is also a sultan. in a rare soviet film of those years they did without tube caps, hardly realizing that it was not easy. original cap on the head, it can be read like a passport. three mugs and two quests, this means that this man had five children, children, three sons and two daughters. what there, skullcaps, a piece of utensils with a two-color ornament found their way into almost every

soviet kitchen: pakhtagul, a cotton flower. this drawing was invented by soviet artists specifically for... a porcelain factory built in tashkent in 1953, which covered the entire union with bowls, teapots and legans of recognizable colors. here they now produce 15,000 bowls a day, although mainly for the local market. in the fall, during weddings, pakhtagul porcelain is not boring on the shelves. this drawing is already 70 years old, it is exactly the same as it was invented in factory opening day. uzbekistan is those who have never been here, but who became truly close and dear on the day when trouble came. uzbek families accepted their 2,000 children

who fled the war, and the country was able to thank them a quarter of a century later. the address is not only in tashkent, dozens of cities invited those who were homeless, seven thousand took in the victims. the terrible earthquake of sixty-six almost destroyed tashkent, leaving 300,000 people homeless, but at that very moment the city became an all-union the whole country took up construction and restoration of the uzbek capital. all soviet peoples extended their hand to tashkent. help, they promised to urgently build a million square meters of housing in the city, this was all done from the heart, very sincerely, because they just wanted to help, so that this disaster, well, how to forget, would build a new city. farukh zakirov, in sixty-six, his legendary yala was not yet in the project, he was the soloist of the brigade’s agides, he

then visited all the komsomol construction sites in tashkent, sang for those who... came to create a new city, we went, gave concerts, and uh, we saw how they perceive it, listen, and it’s not a case where they are just doing their duty, no, it’s all very human from the heart, the city, built anew in just 4 years, has become an asian showcase of the country, a real eastern star, burns 100,000 imion. accomplishes high things , shine toshken, the star of the east, the capital of friendship and warmth, shine, shine tashki for the east, the capital of friendship and warmth, the eastern fairy tale

of tashkent did not end there, 10 years after the tragedy the city received... seemed impossible in such a seismic zone present metro. just as the entire country revived the capital of uzbekistan after the earthquake, so the tashkent metro is being built by envoys from many union republics. it only takes 20 seconds on the escalator from top to bottom. the first lines were laid very close to the surface so as not to touch groundwater. it was generally a challenge to build a metro in a city that had just experienced an earthquake. in addition, the number of residents in tashka. just a little short of the norm that gave the right to use the metro. the head of the republic was able to convince brezhnev with one sentence: while construction is completed, we will have more children. the metro was opened on november 7, 1977, just in time for the anniversary of the great october. and the first station, of course, received the name of vladimir ilvich. the excitement was such that they

somehow managed to close the metro at 12 at night, with great difficulty, and escorted us out. shkentsev to the surface, metro workers were on duty and somehow had to be pushed in to say that the doors are closing, move away, here they are, we noticed that day that people, of course, did not get to one and went back. the metro was very expensive, no marble, no granite, no money was spared, but now it stations are considered one of the most richly decorated in the world, namely... an invigorating whistle instead, be careful, the doors are closing. it probably sounds more convincing, where haste and bustle are not on the list of virtues, here another,

hospitality, is much more valuable. a dish that is never prepared for one or two, there are simply no such cauldrons, but rather for one or two hundred guests, when there is a river of oil, buckets of rice and vegetables, and a slotted spoon is the size of a shovel, 300 kg of rice, 300 kg of meat, that’s 800 l butter, fish fish of two hundred varieties, each uzbek the region knows how to make its own, unique, changing the varieties of rice, ingredients and the sequence of their frying, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the attitude towards what... is considered a national treasure here. pilaf in uzbekistan is more than food. the subject of the cult is the force that unites people. an uzbek is always with him on his birthday,

wedding or death. it is such an important part of the national culture that unesco included pilaf in the list of intangible heritage of the planet. the heritage recipe, of course, is not specified, there are too many variations, but there is something that is almost close to the concept of pilaf always. rashtan, ceramic. the capital of uzbekistan, the most famous legans , a dish without which pilaf is difficult to imagine on the table, are made right here, in the city of red earth, so according to one version its old name is translated rushidon, it stands right on a deposit of unique clay, only it gives amazing strength tens of thousands of dishes that fly from hundreds of restani workshops around the world. we don't add anything to it except water, these two elements: water and clay, that's all we need to get our unique ceramics. the rishtan land

was given to us by god so that we could create this miracle. there are no special secrets here. every step has been studied and practiced for centuries. the first craftsmen appeared in rishtan at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and a hundred years later only they were trusted to supply dishes to the khans. fighters, since then few people have decided to update the technological process. here we have angop in the cauldron to give lyagan a white background so that our pattern can be seen beautifully. no matter how unique the rashtan clay may be, glory to the masters of this the town brought color and sound, the unique shine of natural colors and the voice of ceramics, it should sound just like that. we take the lagan and hold it like this. and we will knock, if such a sound is good, then it is whole and fresh, it is believed that the most delicious pilaf is prepared in

namangan of the firgana valley, perhaps because the best uzbek cauldrons are poured here, and they need sand, which is not available in any other place , the sand is unique, it is mined only in one quarry, mixed with graphite it gives the ideal. exact shape, which is not destroyed even by hot metal. there are no mechanized processes at all, everything is done by hand, although about fifty molds are poured here every day, and you need to have time to reach each one with boiling cast iron before it cools down. the whole procedure takes minutes, and after half an hour the light will appear in the cauldron; all that remains is to heat it on the fire so that the cottonseed oil saturates the metal. this creates an anti-corrosion coating. cauldron, its peculiarity is precisely its thickness, and accordingly, the thicker it retains heat correctly, it will be tastier, yes, cauldrons already work on

turnover, this workshop alone sends 50,000 a year to russia, that ’s what they never have time to get there, winter melons, they ripen in huge storehouses in clusters, hanging from the ceiling beams, here they call them refrigerators, although the temperature is above zero all year round, even when -10 outside. when frost comes, we will close all the holes in the walls and ceiling, and once a week we will light a fire to maintain the temperature, so the melons will not spoil until spring. each storage facility overwinters at least 5,000 melons, and there are 20 to 25, which is a profitable business. by winter the price will quadruple and will not drop until the new harvest. the main rule of the refrigerator is that melons suspended in special wicker nets should not touch each other or touch each other. this

way they can be stored from october to may, by spring the melon will only become tastier, the land of white cotton from golden cities, all the colors of the world are collected here as if on a satin canvas, it seems there is no room on it for so many miracles, but they fit. annual forum of strong ideas for new times. you can personally participate in the development of the country and your native region by presenting your ideas to the jury and projects. choose one of seven areas that best suits your initiative. more than a thousand breakthrough ideas will receive large-scale support for implementation. the best projects will be presented to the country's leadership.
