Character sketches of the book The Headless Horseman by Mayne Reid

During the years of Independence the life in Uzbekistan is considerably changed. As our President Islam Abduganievich Karimov said: “Independence has freed us from the fetters of totalitarian regime and system where ideology was the main priority and enabled the Uzbek people to straighten up, to feel free indeed on our own land, to give back to people their personal dignity, language and cultural spiritual values. Independence and sovereignty made it possible for us to integrate into the world community, to build up our relations with all the states on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
