Tonight I was walking from the Drujba Narodov Metro in Tashkent all the way through the modern buildings of State Property Committee, City Administration, People’s Reception Office, Custom’s Committee, Academy of State Construction, old presidential residence – about 3 kilometers – and I noticed one similarity: all of them were surrounded by high iron bars that one could not enter without special permission. It was the Puppet Theater that broke the long chain of iron bars! I became wiser tonight!
