Khorezm, Shosh, Sogds, Ustrushan, Marghinon are considered to be historical places of Uzbekistan. Most of Uzbeks are Muslims, their attitude towards different religions such as Buddhism, Christianity and Judaism is built on respect. Hospitality is one of the best traditions of Uzbek people. Everyone, regardless his nationality, is always treated in a very respected way and being a 'guest' in this country means a lot of privileges and great attitude. Besides, Uzbeks are a curious nation who likes meeting people and they are fond of communicating with the representatives of other cultures. Another common pastime of Uzbeks is that they like to spend their leisure time in teahouses and bazaars. The social life here in cities resemble to that of European countries. The Bazaar is a place of interaction apart from its primary sense of buying and selling. And here you will see Uzbeks from all walks of life either trying to make a deal or just kicking it. If you visit Uzbekistan you should surely go to a bazaar. Its noisiness, variety, bright colors, hustle and bustle will leave unforgettable memories for good.

As economic and political conditions continue to deteriorate additional violence can be expected. Background During the Russian Revolution (1917-18), many Central Asians, opposed to the Czar, supported the Bolsheviks, while others resisted any form of Russian influence in the region. In 1917, Russian forces wrested control of Tashkent and established the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, although rebel resistance remained active. Stalin introduced aggressive irrigation schemes to increase cotton production which ultimately wrought environmental havoc, drying up rivers and the Aral Sea and depleting the land. To protect its industry during World War II, Russia moved factories to Central Asia, along with a new wave of Russian workers and subversives exiled from the Crimea, Chechnya and elsewhere. This industrial boom brought little benefit to native Uzbeks.

People lived on the crossroads of the ancient Silk Road and their lives highly depended on the business they conducted with foreigners that traveled from east to west and back, carrying silk, pottery and other goods.

Powered by JRank Countries and Their Cultures Countries and Their Cultures To-Z U ZBEKISTAN C ULTURE N AME Uzbek A LTERNATIVE N AMES Uzbeq, Ozbek O RIENTATION Identification. Uzbeks likely take their name from a khan. A leader of the Golden Horde in the fourteenth century was named Uzbek, though he did not rule over the people who would share his name. Today the government is strengthening the Uzbek group identity, to prevent the splintering seen in other multiethnic states. Some people have assimilated with seemingly little concern. Many Tajiks consider themselves Uzbek, though they retain the Tajik language; this may be because they have long shared an urban lifestyle, which was more of a bond than ethnic labels. Others have been more resistant to Uzbekization. Many Qipchaqs eschew intermarriage, live a nomadic lifestyle, and identify more closely with the Kyrgyz who live across the border from them. The Khojas also avoid intermarriage, and despite speaking several languages, have retained a sense of unity. The Karakalpaks, who live in the desert south of the Aral Sea, have a separate language and tradition more akin to Kazakh than Uzbek. Under the Soviet Union, theirs was a separate republic, and it remains autonomous.

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

Chance. After graduating from Michigan State University in 1996 with a degree in English, Bissell applied to the Peace Corps, hoping for a stint in Eastern Europe. What he got was an assignment to Uzbekistan. All did not go well. Ill, homesick and heartsick for the fiancee he left behind, Bissell cut his service short and decided to return to the United States. On the plane back home, he began to write. Believable characters Whether writing about a hapless American couple on a self-indulgent thrill-seeking trip or an environmental biologist stranded on the barren floor of a dead sea, Bissell creates characters that are compelling and touchingly flawed. In a few instances, they even come off as vaguely unlikable, but Bissell makes no apologies for his renderings. Current projects With that insight, his daring writing and direct style, how could Bissell not tackle such a difficult and timely topic?
