"Old heroes" Top 5 Page for this destination Tashkent Off The Beaten Path Tip by TheWanderingCamel

Behind Tashkent's Museum of Fine Arts there is a muralled wall backing a bust that looks not unlike Lenin and a small garden planted with little trees. It's all a bit scruffy and unkempt now , but here you will find the graves of the heroes of the Revolution who died fighting in the streets in 1917 and others who were killed in the years that followed. The bust is Yuldush Akhunbabayev, the first Uzbek president. The garden is known as the Communard's Garden or the Fidoliyar.
