In order to fully and perfectly pass on to the next generation the memory of our compatriots who sacrificed their lives for the freedom and independence of the country, it is planned to prepare and publish a multi-volume book “Victims of Repression” (Memory). 251 people were identified in the book of remembrance of the victims of repressions in connection with the Jizzakh uprising, 8 people were identified as participants of the national independence in 1917-1924, 2 people were identified in the book of 1931-1933, 390 people were identified in the 1940s.

According to the requirements and norms of the Book of Remembrance of the Victims of Repression, 1,057 people were named.

In the future, the main task of historians should be to restore the names of our ancestors who were victims of the policy of repression, to study their lives and activities, to create scientific, artistic and journalistic works about the representatives of repressed statesmen and public figures. The knowledge of history, feeling of respect for the memory of our devoted ancestors, who fought for the triumph of independence and justice, promoting their courage and exemplary work will help to educate young people in the spirit of devotion to the Fatherland and patriotism.  As noted by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev in his speeches: “The dignity and honor of our people in the struggle for the liberation of our country, the memory of our compatriots who died in the protection of our national values, the hard struggle against colonialism, will forever remain in the memory of grateful generations”.
