The main composition of the monument is a cube that splits the crack to the foot of a bronze sculpture, depicting the figure of a woman holding a baby, as well as a man, protecting them from impending disaster. Tashkent was reconstructed not only by residents of other regions of the country, but also construction groups from all over the Soviet Union. After 3.5 years the city was completely restored and new houses were taken by the first settlers.
Despite the fact that after the tragic events went by a long time, residents still come to the monument to honor those people who took a part in the reconstruction of Tashkent. Thanks to them, our city became more beautiful.
