This morning, I decided to take a walk in Rudaki Park, located on Rudaki Avenue in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The park was renovated in 2007-08, previously known as Lenin Park. I cannot judge whether the park has become better or worse, as I am biased - I grew up here, near this park, and all my memories are associated with childhood, so it is difficult to be objective. However, this will not prevent me from enjoying a walk and contemplating this wonderful place...

Here is the central arch, the inscription on it is usually not translated literally, as the literal translation of the phrase "Ustod Rudaki" changes its meaning slightly.

Right behind the park, the Palace of Nations - that’s how it is written on Yandex maps, I still think this is a mistake, rather, the Palace of the Nation will be the correct name.

This is the main alley of Rudaki Park.

That’s the main character. In 2008, this monumental sculptural monument was erected, dedicated to the 1150th anniversary of the outstanding poet, founder of Persian classical poetry Abuabdullo Rudaki.

The park has many well-groomed alleys, paths...

Green lawns were planted, many trees, some of which, by the way, were brought and planted already large, some were left from the old park...

If you go further, you can reach the Coat of Arms.

And look through it at the flag, it’s a pity there was no wind, the flag did not develop in the wind.

And if you go even further ... then Rudaki Park is already over.

Until next time.
