A round table dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II was held at the Russian Center of Science and Culture in Tashkent. The event was attended by leading historians of Uzbekistan.

According to Charge d'Affaires of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Uzbekistan Vadim Mitrofanov, the peoples of the Soviet Union made a decisive contribution to the Victory: “The highest patriotism manifested itself during the difficult years of the war on the battlefields and on the labor front. In a single system they won a common Victory for all of us. Its great heritage is today an important spiritual value, a moral reference point for post-war generations”.
