This year the writers, as all the people of the country, witnessed joyful political, economic, and cultural events, and the celebration of the 30-th anniversary of the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan can be considered as their highest point and charming, beautiful end. This fruitful year started with the news of the Founder of\u00a0 Peace and National Unity, the Leader of the Nation \u2013 the President of the country distinguished Emomali Rahmon for the writers \u2013 to publish and distribute to every family Firdausi\u2019s immortal Shaname<\/em> and with holding 815-th anniversary of Mawlana Jalaliddin Balkhi at the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris, creation of new verses devoted to the friendship with Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan\u00a0 and devoted to cultural days of Tajikistan, the visit of a large group of writers-translators from Russia and Kazakhstan to the Book Exhibition 2024 in these countries and cultural days of these countries in our country, made the atmosphere of our beloved Homeland to gain the feeling of confidence for good future.<\/p>\n

As early as at the beginning of the State Independence of Tajikistan, in 1997, during his speech at the Congress of the Writers\u2019 Union the distinguished Emomali Rahmon identified the tasks of the literature of this period as the following: \u201cToday nobody demands that you write within the styles and framework of party and the class of socialist realism. The Writers\u2019 Union, that earlier served as an important ideological organization of the state, can not serve as a centralized censor to any further extent. Such attempts are forbidden by the laws of our Republic. The Constitution of our state while quarantining the plurality of ideas, emphasizes that nobody has the right to enforce his\/her will and wish, mode of his\/her living and his\/her ideas on other people\u2019s neck. But plurality of ideas never restrains the real writer and inventor to neglect the benefits of the people and Homeland. It is because the sacred notions \u2013 people and Homeland are higher than any parity\u2019s and ideological interest<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In these wise ideas of the Founder of Peace and National Unity, the Leader of the Nation \u2013 the President of the country distinguished Emomali Rahmon we both see a kind of results of 60 years of the activity of the Writer\u2019s Union and also the necessity of retaining its activity in a new historical condition and style of its activity during the years of Independence.<\/p>\n

Really, the history of the Writers\u2019 Union is the reflector of the new period of the history of Tajik nation, its mirror. In this not a long speech, due to lack of time we are trying to remember the main events and points to show the whole picture of the literary life of out nation during the 90 years of the existence of the Writers\u2019 Union as brighter as possible.<\/p>\n

The necessity of the establishing the
\nWriters\u2019 Union in Tajikistan<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Writers\u2019 Union is the product of the policy of collectivization of the 1920-ies and 1930-ies of the Soviet Union. According to this idea all the branches of life of the country were united based on their peculiarities and activities, so that it would be easier to mange them and to ensure their fruitful activity. First the agriculture and industry moved to this type of economics, and later it was diced that the sphere of literature based on\u00a0\u00a0 the scattered societies of the writers should be united in a single collective organization.<\/p>\n

That is why on April 23, 1932, the decision of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party \u201cOn reforming literary organizations\u201d was issued and based on this decision in June 1932 the decision of the Central Committee workers (bolsheviks<\/em>) of Tajikistan \u201cOn reorganization of literary organization in Tajikistan\u201d was adopted. According to the second decision the following personality were included into the organizational bureau of the Writers\u2019 Union of Tajikistan: Lohuti, Ayni, Rasuli, Ulughzoda, Turaqulov, Daylami, Hasni, Rustamova, Azizi, Burhonova, Yurtaeva.<\/p>\n

This bureau completed a lot of work on explaining and propagation and it fulfilled its duty successfully until May 1934, that is till the dated when the first Congress of the Writers\u2019 Union took place.<\/p>\n

\n

Thus, 90 years ago, in order to build the building of modern Tajik Literature\u00a0 the first brick were laid and Tajik writers became the owner of a special organization for their activities.<\/p>\n

To assign the duties for the literature<\/strong><\/p>\n

As it was mentioned, the Soviet Union started the planning system in the economy, social and even cultural and literary activities. The plans for development of economy used to adopt at the conferences of the communist party and usually 5- or 7-years time framework was allocated for their fulfilment. Following this method the congresses of the Writers\u2019 Union of Tajikistan were also convocated every five years. High official from the party used to participate and make speeches at these congresses and would assign duties for the literature. Congresses would have attracted the attention of the writers for the next five years to the topics that were considered in the massages as more important. Thus, a brunch of outstanding ordered literature appeared, that served to mobilize the people to new deserved deeds and\u00a0\u00a0 would praise the creation of laborers. The communist party the considered \u201cthe method of socialist realism\u201d as the standard for the activities of soviet writers. All other types of creation of literary work were either ignored or turned into a mean of supporting that goal. If the engineers of different spheres of life with their new inventions created new modern mechanisms and machineries, writers have been given the name of \u201cthe engineers of the human soul\u201d and they were demanded to create and develop the conscious of the human being of the socialist society.<\/p>\n

Totally during 90 years Tajik writers organized 15 congresses, which were held in the following order: the first congress \u2013 in 1934, the second \u2013 in 1947, third \u2013 in 1954, the fourth \u2013 in 1959, the fifth \u2013 in 1966, the sixth \u2013 in 1971, the seventh \u2013 1976, the eighth \u2013 in 1981, the nineth \u2013 in 1986, the tenth \u2013 in 1991, the eleventh \u2013 in 1997, twelfth \u2013 in 2003, the thirteenth \u2013in 2009, the fourteenth \u2013 in 2015, the fifteenth \u2013 in 2020.<\/p>\n

Writers\u2019 Union <\/strong>of Tajikistan during the state Independence <\/strong><\/p>\n

The ideological independence of the writers started at least 15 years before Tajikistan\u2019s State Independence from the publishing the doston Tajikistan \u2013 is My Name<\/em> by Mumin Qanoat. This doston was the result and summary of the freedom thinking, wish for independence and national identity of our writers Sadriddin Aini, Mirzo Tursunzoda, Sotim Ulughzoda, that was later continued by Loiq Sherali, Bozor Sobir, Gulrukhsor, Gulnazar, Ghaib Safarzoda, Saif Rahimzodi Afardi, Bahmanyor, Farzona, Nizom Qasim, and other colleagues.<\/p>\n

The election of a young man with a new thinking and one that loves his nation and Homeland Emomali Rahmon at the 16-th session of Supreme Soviet of Tajikistan in 1992 gave this trend a new impulse.<\/p>\n

If up to this period patriotic movements of intelligentsia met with the resistances of the state authorities, distinguished Emomali Rahmon turned the aspirations for independence and national self identity into the official state policy. Thus, for the first time in the history of Tajiks statehood the aspirations of developed intelligentsia coincided and overlapped with the goals of the government and that led to the unity of the state and society.<\/p>\n

The Writers\u2019 Union at the first period of Independence led the power of the writers to restoring peace and stability and unity of all the inhabitants of the country ragged by the war.<\/p>\n

Members of the Writers\u2019 Union Mehmon Bakhti participated in the peace negotiations between Tajiks, Karomatullo Olimzoda and Nazirkhuja Davlat, Bakhtiyor Murtazoev participated in the work of the National Reconciliation Commission; Mumin Qanoat, Sulton Mirzoshoev, Loiq Sherali, Haknazar Ghoib, Shirin Bunyod, Gulnazar Keldi, Abdulhamid Samadov, Qurbon Vose, Sattor Tursun, Kamol Nasrullo did significant work in strengthening the Movement for National Unity and the Revival of Tajikistan.<\/p>\n

Real Independence, abolition the ideological restrictions, removal of censorship and leading the policy of the \u201cOpen doors\u201d by the Government of Tajikistan created new opportunities for the activities of writers. Opening the gates to the four sides of the world, especially to the Persian language speaking countries positively influenced the world views and style of creation of our writers. Preserving the Writers\u2019 Union of Tajikistan as the propagation instrument of the state policy, permanent meeting and talks of the Leader of the Nation with intelligentsia, to proclaim ustods Sadriddin Ayni and Mirzo Tursunzoda as National Heroes, involving the writers in different state events, the participation of the Head of the state in the Congress in 1997, the creation of gathering of the writers in Navroz area (2016), expressing his love with the words \u201cI love writers\u201d, the celebration of the anniversaries of past and present great writers, organizing National Contest \u201cFurughi subhi donoi kitob ast<\/em>\u201d (Book is The Light of Knowledge<\/em>), the construction the grandeur National Library building, the creation of the Department of the Writers\u2019 Union in Badakhshan (1994), the erection of memorial complexes to Kamoli Khujandi and Jaloliddini Balkhi (2019), the creation of Rudaki, Jomi and Navoi parks, the publishing of the series of book of classical writers called \u201cAkhtaroni adab\u201d (Stars Of Literature<\/em>) and the series works of modern writers devoted to the 30-th anniversary of Independence, the publishing of dozens of separate prose and poetry books,\u00a0 the publishing of Shahnameh<\/em> by Firdausi and its distribution to every household in the country with the financial support of the President of\u00a0 Tajikistan are just part of numerous measures and initiatives, that in that period were implemented for the benefit of literature and writers.<\/p>\n

The writers in their turn, in return to these concerns working hard days and nights created new interesting, much appealed and demanded works. If we compare the works created during the 30 years of Independence with 70 years of the Soviet Period, we clearly see what achievements our literature acquired. If during the 70 years only 30 romans have been created, during the 30 years the number of romans is more than 300, let alone the stories and narratives, dostons and different kinds of poetical verses. Only on the topic describing the challenging work of the Tajik people and the great Leader of our Nation at Roghun<\/em> Hydro Power Station 2 novels, 1 play, 12 narratives, 10 doston and poetry, 30 publicistic essays and more than 200 different pieces of poetry have been created.<\/p>\n

Such work on other different topics connected to the policy creation and construction of the Government of Tajikistan, including the construction of highways, tunnels, hydropower stations, industrial and agricultural enterprises, international initiatives of the Leader of the Nation on the issues of water, Navroz celebrations, historical monuments of the Tajik people and etc. were created that also\u00a0 permanently were covered by mass media and publishers. It is an honor that during the 33 years of State Independence our writers participated in composing dozens of scripts of great massive shows with the participation of the Leader of the Nation and contributed to the cause supporting the cultural policy of the Government of the country.<\/p>\n
