Abu'l-Qasem Lahuti was an Iranian poet who emigrated to the Soviet Union for political reasons and eventually settled in Tajikistan. He wrote both lyric poetry and "socialist realist" verse. Another poet, Mirzo Tursunzoda ,collected Tajik oral literature, wrote poetry of his own about social change in Tajikistan, and turned out various works on popular political themes of the moment.

Tajikistan Europe CULTURE Cultural guidelines The best way to learn a new culture is to participate in it. Spend time with people, observe people and pay attention to how they interact and behave. The guidelines on this page are just a few hints to help you to get started. Tajiks are, on the whole, very friendly and hospitable towards guests in their country. Most will quickly overlook any cultural misdemeanors. You can keep mistakes to a minimum and avoid causing offense by following these simple suggestions. Bread Bread is considered to have a life of its own. It must be treated with respect. Never put flat bread ( non ) face down. Never let bread (or breadcrumbs) fall to the ground, and don't throw it out with ordinary rubbish/trash. Leftover bread should be put on a shelf or windowsill or used to feed animals. Behaviour in public Dress modestly. Shorts or short skirts are not recommended.

In Soviet times, such claims were not merely a matter of chauvinism but a strategy to permit Tajiks some contact with a culture that was artificially divided by state borders. Nevertheless, very little Persian literature was published in Cyrillic transcription in the Soviet era. Three writers dominated the first generation of Soviet Tajik literature. Sadriddin Aini (1878-1954), a Jadidist writer and educator who turned communist, began as a poet but wrote primarily prose in the Soviet era. His works include three major novels dealing with social issues in the region and memoirs that depict life in the Bukhoro Khanate. Aini became the first president of Tajikistan's Academy of Sciences.
