В жару студентов заставили «маршировать» – Таджикистан готовится к празднованию Дня независимости

Tajikistan's authorities are preparing a large-scale celebration for the 35th anniversary of independence. Every year, students, teachers, and other public sector employees are drawn to the "marching"—as ordinary people call rehearsals for theatrical performances. Authorities describe participation in the festivities as voluntary and part of patriotic education.
