Walking in the footsteps of Alexander the Great in Uzbekistan

Twenty-five centuries separate us from the time when Alexander the Great lived and performed his deeds. Still today the name of the great commander and statesman keeps drawing attention of historians, philosophers, archeologists, military specialists and all those who are interested in the history of human development. Oriental policy of Alexander played a huge historical role in connecting the Western world with the East; it was of a great importance for development of economy, social, political and cultural life of Asia, as well as for the entire ancient world.
