In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the devastating 1966 Tashkent earthquake—a magnitude 7.5 tremor that leveled much of the Uzbek capital on April 26, 1966. They explore the immediate aftermath, the Soviet Union's massive reconstruction effort that transformed Tashkent into a model Soviet city, and the human stories of displacement and resilience. The conversation covers the role of Soviet seismology, the architecture of the new city (including the metro expansion), and the long-term social and political impacts, including how the disaster inadvertently shaped Uzbek national identity within the USSR. Lucas explains the controversial decision to rebuild on the same fault lines, the influx of workers from across the Soviet republics, and the subtle cultural shifts that followed. Luna asks about the legacy of the earthquake in modern Tashkent—from monuments to memory. This episode offers a fresh angle on Soviet-era Uzbekistan, touching on urban planning, disaster politics, and the paradox of catastrophe as a catalyst for change. #TashkentEarthquake #1966Earthquake #SovietHistory #UzbekistanHistory #Tashkent #CentralAsia #SovietReconstruction #Seismology #UrbanPlanning #DisasterHistory #SovietArchitecture #UzbekSSR #1960sHistory #Earthquake #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast #Resilience Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
