That morning, on April 26, 1966, people were awakened by a strong earthquake and hum. The ceilings were cracking; the ground was shaking under the feet of the people who were hurriedly leaving their homes... The Tashkent earthquake was attributed to the "vertical type". People were able to escape, but they lost their homes.
The monument is a sculpture composition of the family and the bas-relief panels in the background. The man who tries to shield a woman who is clutching a child to herself with his body.
On the granite podium of the monuments stands a black labradorite cube, which is split into two parts. One of its sides contains an image of a clock-face whose hands show the time: On the other hand, the date of the earthquake is written on both sides.
Relief compositions depicting scenes of the reconstruction of Tashkent serve as the background for the monument.
Many people in that year became homeless, but it did not make people go to theft and lawlessness. Furthermore, they put all their energies into rebuilding the city.
When the tragedy occurred, all the republics of the USSR decided to participate in the reconstruction of Tashkent. A few months later, they built the first new buildings: schools, houses, and offices.
After 3 years, the city was completely restored. Tashkent became even more beautiful, shining with his renewed views in the warm rays of the sun. A monument called "Courage" became a symbol of well-being and tranquility.
