Tashkent Soviet Architecture Tour

Tashkent's Soviet architecture is a remarkable reflection of the city's transformation during the 20th century, as it became the capital of Soviet Uzbekistan and a showcase of the "Soviet Orient."

Following the 1966 earthquake that devastated much of the city, Tashkent was rapidly rebuilt with the help of workers from across the USSR, creating a unique blend of modernist architecture that incorporated both socialist ideals and Central Asian traditions.

Tashkent became a hub for social and urban experimentation, featuring avant-garde designs and serving as a model of Soviet innovation and multiculturalism during the 'Thaw' period. The city's modernist architecture includes iconic buildings and spaces that highlight its role as the Soviet gateway to Asia.
