The Writers' Union Building in Dushanbe, Tajikistan
The facade of the Writers' Union building, known as "the Wall," features nine niches holding eleven life-size statues of Tajikistan's greatest literary figures.
At the centre stands Rudaki, the 8th-century father of Persian poetry, alongside Ferdowsi, Omar Khayyam, Sadriddin Ayni, and Mirzo Tursunzoda.
Designed by architect Eduard Salikhov in the early 1980s, the building is a fine example of Soviet Modernist architecture in Central Asia, combining monumental scale with local sensibilities.
In the adjacent garden, a statue depicts Ayni in conversation with Maxim Gorky.
