Nusratullo Maksum (June 19 [July 1] 1881 – November 1, 1937) - Tajik statesman and public figure. Hero of Tajikistan (2006, posthumously).
Nusratullo Makhsum was born in 1881 in the mountain village of Chashmai-Kozi of the Karategin bekdom (principality) of the Bukhara Emirate - now the territory of the Rasht region of Tajikistan. He comes from a farming family, and since childhood he helped his parents in their work. For three years he studied at a local Muslim school (maktabe). In his early youth, he left his home and native land in search of work and a better life in the territory of the Turkestan region of the Russian Empire, or more precisely in the Fergana region. From 1895 to 1906 he worked as a loader and laborer at the private factory of a Russian merchant in Kokand. In 1906, he was fired from this job for participating in anti-Russian and anti-monarchist riots in the wake of the First Russian Revolution and fled from persecution by the Tsarist secret police to his native village in Karategin, working there on his own dekhkan farm until 1920.
In December 1920 he joined the RCP(b). He actively participated in the spread of Soviet power in the territory of his native lands. In 1921-1923, he was the chairman of the Garm Regional Food Committee for the supply of the Red Army, while simultaneously working as an authorized representative of the Central Executive Committee of the BNSR for the affairs of “Eastern Bukhara”, as well as a member of the Extraordinary Commission of the Central Executive Committee of the BNSR for the affairs of “Eastern Bukhara”. In 1923-1924 - deputy chairman of the Garm Revolutionary Committee and chairman of the East Bukhara Regional Executive Committee - that is, the de facto leader of “Eastern Bukhara” within the BNSR. From October (according to other sources from December 1) 1924 - Chairman of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee of the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) of Uzbekistan (February 12, 1925 - June 4, 1930). Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Tajik ASSR (December 1926 - October 16, 1929), Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Tajik SSR (October 16, 1929 - December 27, 1933). Member of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) of Tajikistan (1930-1933).
From October (according to other sources from December 1) 1924 - Chairman of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee of the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) of Uzbekistan (February 12, 1925 - June 4, 1930). Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Tajik ASSR (December 1926 - October 16, 1929), Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Tajik SSR (October 16, 1929 - December 27, 1933). Member of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) of Tajikistan (1930-1933).
With the transformation of Tajikistan into a union republic, he was elected one of the Chairmen of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR (March 18, 1931 - January 4, 1934). The moderate position of the Tajik leadership in relation to the wealthy peasantry during the period of collectivization was recognized as erroneous at a meeting of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on December 5, 1933. Following this resolution, the fourth emergency session of the Central Executive Committee of the Tajik SSR relieved (December 27, 1933) Maksum and the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars from their posts Tajik SSR Abdurrahim Khodzhibaev for “anti-party and in many cases anti-Soviet” policies. The Chairman of the Council of Nationalities of the USSR Central Executive Committee, Tadzhibaev, demanded the removal of Maksum from the post of chairman of the USSR Central Executive Committee during the session on January 4, 1934. The Central Executive Committee approved this decision, replacing Maksum with another representative of Tajikistan - A. Rakhimbaev. Maksum was sent to Moscow to study at the All-Union Planning Academy.
Arrested in Moscow on July 8, 1937 and sentenced to capital punishment on October 31, 1937 for preparing counter-revolutionary crimes. On December 15, 1957, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court, having considered the decision of the USSR Prosecutor General's Office on newly discovered circumstances, due to the lack of corpus delicti, overturned the verdict against Nusratullo Maksum. By a resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated June 26, 1964, Nusratullo Maksum was posthumously rehabilitated. By decree of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan E. Sh. Rakhmonov, he was posthumously awarded the title “Hero of Tajikistan” (09.09.2006). 
The emblem of the National Bank of Tajikistan is in top right corner.
The emblem of the National Bank of Tajikistan shows three snow-capped ridges - Alai, Zaalaysky Mountains and the Pamirs (same as on the coat of arms).
The State Emblem of Tajikistan is on top, left of center.
It is a modified version of the original emblem of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic that was in use until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The crown at the center of the emblem is the same as the Tajik national flag, and refers to the Persian word taj, meaning crown, from which the name of the Tajik people is said to be derived, according to one interpretation. The base of the emblem contains a representation of a book and the Pamir Mountains. The emblem is flanked by cotton on one side and wheat on the other, as well a banner of the national red-white-green colors of Tajikistan is wrapped around the cotton and wheat.
According to M.Revnivtsev, the "crown", depicted in the center of the national flag and coat of arms in the upper part of Tajikistan, includes three stylized fixtures - three sacred inextinguishable fire that are the subject of religious worship in the Zoroastrian temples. A central element of "crown" symbolizes the world mountain Hara, located in the center of the world, and the curved arc of gold at the bottom of the emblem represents "retaliation bridge" Chinvat, where the Day of Judgment Zarathustra will separate the righteous from the wicked soul.
Seven gold five-pointed stars, according M.Revnivtsev, represent one of the basic concepts of Zoroastrianism - the seven good spirits Amesha Spenta - incarnation and inner circle of the supreme god Ahura Mazda (Ormuzd). Located along the arc of a circle of gold stars form Farn - sun shining beginning, the divine fire, its material emanation from analogue halo of Christian saints.
21 sunbeam - repeated three times in the group at 7-rays - represent the three emanations of Ahura Mazda with 7 good spirits Amesha Spenta.
Golden Mountains with silver tops - snow-capped ridges Alai, Zaalaysky Mountains and the Pamirs.
Wheat ears - a symbol of agriculture and settled life, inherited, like the rising sun, the emblem of the Soviet Union.
Although, left of center is the line with Tajik national ornament (pattern).
In the center is the Building of the Central Executive Committee of the former Council of People's Commissars of the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, as it looked at the beginning of the 1930s. On the building there is a red flag with the inscription - Tojikistoni Ozod (Free Tajikistan).

The National Library of Tajikistan (Taj. Китобхонаи миллии Тоҷикистон) is the main national book depository of Tajikistan, which is a particularly valuable object of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Republic of Tajikistan. It is under a special regime of protection and use. The National Library is a state cultural institution, a national repository of scientific and cultural heritage, an archive of national periodicals, a research information and cultural center of republican significance, and its functions meet the basic UNESCO requirements for libraries of this type.
The new building of the National Library of Tajikistan was opened on March 20, 2012 in Dushanbe with the participation of the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon. The new nine-story building was built in the shape of an open book and meets modern international standards (building length 167 m., height 52 m., total area 45 thousand m²). In terms of size, it is the largest library in the countries of Central Asia. Near the central facade of the building there are 22 busts of famous heroes of the history of the region, figures of science and literature of the Tajik people. The library has 25 reading rooms, which have 274 automated workstations for readers, 3 exhibition halls: for displaying ancient manuscripts and rare books; galleries for the exhibition of books on branches of science and knowledge; exhibition hall of new literature acquisitions; For holding public events, conferences and symposiums, the library has 9 rooms (with 1,100 seats). The library is equipped with modern technology that allows readers to use the latest information and communication technologies. The library was one of the initiators of the introduction of information technologies in the field of serving readers. An electronic catalog and electronic library were created, access to library resources was provided, and other innovative projects were implemented that raised services to a qualitatively new level. The microclimate of the building allows readers to feel comfortable on hot summer days.
To the top right of the building are: the candlestick with candle, feather and inkwell.
The national flag of Tajikistan (Tajik: Парчами Тоҷикистон / پرچم تاجیکستان) was adopted in November 1992, replacing the flag of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic of 1953. It is a horizontal tricolour of red, white and green with a width ratio of 2:3:2, charged with a crown surmounted by an arc of seven stars at the center.
The tricolour preserves the choice of colours in the Tajik Soviet flag.
The middle white stripe has one-and-a-half times the width of the red and green stripes. The red represents the unity of the nation; the green represents the fertile valleys, while the white represents both the snow and ice of the mountains and the colour of cotton.
The crown and stars are set in a rectangle taking up 80% of the flag's total width. The crown represents the Tajik people, as the name Tajik is connected with Persian tâj "crown" in popular etymology.
In lower right corner is a text: "БАРОИ ҚАЛБАКӢ СОХТАНИ БИЛЕТҲОИ БОНКИ МИЛЛИИ ТОҶИКИСТОН МУВОФИҚИ ҚОНУН ҶАЗО ДОДА МЕШОВАД".
In English:" Counterfeit banknotes of the National Bank of Tajikistan shall be punished in accordance with the law."
Comments:
The somoni (Tajik: cомонӣ) is the currency of Tajikistan. It is subdivided into 100 diram (Tajik: дирам). The currency is named after the father of the Tajik nation, Ismail Samani (also spelled Ismoil Somoni).
The somoni was introduced on 30 October 2000; it replaced the Tajikistani ruble, at the rate of 1 somoni = 1000 rubles.
The currency is divided into 100 diram for one somoni. Diram banknotes were first introduced on 30 October 2000 to start the currency off and coins were introduced later in 2001 with the intention of creating a more efficient monetary system and gradually replacing the diram notes. This was also the first time circulating coins were introduced in Tajikistan.
