Wreath-laying ceremonies are regularly held at the pedestal of the monument on national holidays and state visits.

It was given its current name in the early 1990s, following its renaming from the monument to Vladimir Lenin, which was designed and created in 1974 by Sabir Adylov (1932–2002) and Nikolai Tomsky (1900–1984).

In December 2005, during the architectural reconstruction of Mustaqillik Maydoni, the monument was given an additional sculpture, depicting a "Happy Mother" with her baby.

It was reproduced on posters, murals and sculptures in different Uzbek cities.
