History and creation

The title "Hero of Uzbekistan" has its origins in its predecessor title, the Hero of the Soviet Union, which was the highest distinction in the Soviet Union and Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic from the award's creation on April 16, 1934, until the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991.[2]

The Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Uzbekistan, then the country's legislative body, created the Hero of Uzbekistan on 5 May 1994.[3]

gollark: I run Discord in the browser, personally, to mildly reduce RAM use and data gathering, and use old reddit because new reddit is just terrible.
gollark: I've not heard of that, but that's !!FUN!! too!
gollark: It's really irritating that the web has reached a state where we only have something like two different browser engines, they contain horrendously complex and vast amounts of code which new projects probably can't replicate, websites regularly use hundreds of megabytes of RAM for some reason, and a bunch of "desktop" apps effectively just ship an entire copy of Chrome to run in.
