| dc.description | One of the most abiding images of modern Uzbekistan and one that is regularly on the cover of books on the state is the imposing statue of Amir Timur, astride a horse, located in the Amir Timur Square in central Tashkent. While the park surrounding the statue itself has been significantly reduced in size by the addition of the Forum’s Palace—which in addition to the Amir Timur Museum now crowds the square—and the ancient chinar (maple) trees have been replaced by firs, the statue itself remains a point of reference for the state. Time and again the casual visitor who may remember very little of the city otherwise would refer to the statue with the assumption that Timur remains the referent for the state. And in this they are partially correct. While Amir Timur’s legacy is no longer the subject of discussion, academic of otherwise, his abiding legacy that of a strong centralized state continues to be significant for Uzbekistan’s brand equity | - |
