SOVIET SITES IN UZBEKISTAN The USSR had a transformative effect on Uzbekistan, in almost every sphere of life. The Soviet history of Uzbekistan is visible in its buildings and monuments, many of which are still in use today. The jewel of Soviet architecture in Uzbekistan is Tashkent Metro, a dazzling subterranean art gallery where every station was designed by a different architect or artist. Tashkent also boasts the Tashkent TV Tower (which was once the fourth highest structure in the world), and the iconic Hotel Uzbekistan, a masterpiece of Soviet modernism. Other notable Soviet buildings in Uzbekistan include Tashkent Circus, the famous blue mosaic domes of Chorsu Bazaar, the Exhibition Hall of the Uzbek Union of Artists, and the Drilling Tool Plant in Samarkand.
