“There was war, we dreamed of peace.” What did the first generation of independence dream about and what does today’s youth of Tajikistan dream about?

It has been 35 years since Tajikistan gained state independence. During this time, one generation has grown up, and another has begun their lives already during the period of independence. We asked residents and guests of the capital what the dreams of young people were 35 years ago and what the youth of today dream about?

Representatives of the first generation spoke more about the difficulties of the war period and the dream of peace and tranquility. Representatives of the second generation dream that life in independent Tajikistan will become better and the country will continue to develop.
