The old Dushanbe is almost gone. Would you believe we used to take Scottish dancing lessons in the Mayakovsky Theatre! Green Bazaar -‘Zilyoni Bazar’ was the absolute centre in so many ways of beautiful Dushanbe and one of the places where I tried so very hard to improve my language skills. The hand painted ceilings at Rohat tea house are public works of art, and when they destroy the building along with its ‘potolok’ it will be yet another architectural crime against this much loved city. Shame!
