Farrukh Zokirov recognized in Moscow: awarded the Order of Friendship
People's Artist of Uzbekistan, artistic director of the legendary "Yalla" ensemble, Farrukh Zokirov, was awarded the prestigious state award of the Russian Federation - the Order of Friendship. The award ceremony was held on May 28 in Tashkent within the framework of the fifth meeting of the Uzbekistan-Russia Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation dedicated to cultural issues.

The order, presented for his work in further developing cultural ties and strengthening friendly relations between the two peoples, was solemnly presented by the Minister of Culture of Uzbekistan Ozodbek Nazarbekov and the Minister of Culture of Russia Olga Lyubimova.


For the past decades, Farrukh Zokirov has been widely recognized as a creative figure not only in Uzbekistan, but also in the territory of the former Soviet Union. His work in the "Yalla" ensemble, his contribution to strengthening friendship between peoples through folk songs and music have been of great importance.

During the ceremony, the ministers of culture of the two countries exchanged views on the current state and future prospects of mutual cooperation. They noted, in particular, the need to implement joint projects in the fields of theater, cinema, art and music, expand creative exchanges and cultural dialogue between young people.

It should be recalled that in November 2024, by a special decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Farrukh Zokirov and the singer of "Uzbekkontsert" Sevara Nazarkhan were awarded the Order of "Friendship". This order has been awarded in the Russian Federation since 1994 to individuals who have made a significant contribution to strengthening friendly relations between different nations and peoples, in the fields of science, culture, art and the humanitarian sphere.

This high recognition of Farrukh Zokirov is described as a proud event not only for his creative heritage, but also for the entire culture of Uzbekistan. His creative path will remain in history not only as a symbol of friendship, but also as a cultural bridge between the two peoples.
