Mini Tukay Sacred Reader




This little book was a gift while in Kazan. It can fit in your shirt pocket. It has a ribbon built in, like a prayer book. There seem to be Communist Themes interwoven with the majesty of Tukay's words. The first pages are of a poem titled "Tugan Awilim". the second is something like, "Before Capitalism ends and Socialism is spread throughout the world, blah blah blah...." What a strange contrast. His name is written in Cyrillic and Arabic on the covers.
