At Nordic University, a special “Literature Night” was held featuring Ibrohim G‘afurov—a renowned writer, exceptional translator, literary critic, recipient of the Order of Friendship, and Hero of Uzbekistan—alongside Rahmon Qo‘chqor, a distinguished literary scholar, recipient of the “Shuhrat” Medal, and the “Excellence in Public Education” titleholder.
Literature uplifts the soul, sharpens taste, and enlightens the mind. This traditional literary event, dedicated to the discussion of world-renowned masterpieces, focused on a deep analysis of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment.
The event, attended by students from the Journalism and Music Education faculties, was opened by Rector Sherzod Mustafakulov, who highlighted the creative journey of skilled translator Ibrohim G‘afurov and the author of the "Hayrat" show
Rahmon Qo‘chqor, as well as their significant contributions to literature and academia. He also spoke about Crime and Punishment, one of the most influential and widely analyzed works in world literature, and its unforgettable protagonist.
During the event, Ibrohim G‘afurov provided students with profound insights into the art of translation, its challenges, and the psychological and character intricacies reflected in Dostoevsky’s works.
“Journalism and literature are deeply connected. Discussing Dostoevsky’s works allows us to gain a deeper spiritual understanding of what literature truly is. My passion for literature ignited in childhood, and I believe that if a love for books is nurtured early, it lasts a lifetime, regardless of circumstances. Dostoevsky’s works introduce a fascinating new artistic dimension. When I realized that translation has the power to refine minds, influence morality, and unite people around significant issues, I developed a deep interest in this craft.
Engaging with world literature has transformed my life’s purpose—choosing and translating books that enrich the human spirit, expand knowledge, and promote wisdom, etiquette, and beauty. Dostoevsky’s works, in particular, lack redundancy; their sharp and beautifully structured narratives feel as familiar as our own literature. A translation must be so artistically perfect that the reader becomes fully immersed, experiencing no hesitation or doubt. The most noble and universal emotions must be conveyed as they are. Even as I re-read my own translation of Crime and Punishment before today’s event, I felt a profound sense of excitement and wonder…”
— Ibrohim G’afurov
At the event, Rahmon Qo‘chqor also shared a comprehensive analysis of Crime and Punishment, discussing the artistic brilliance of the novel, the phenomenon of Dostoevsky, and the translator’s unique mastery in capturing its essence. He emphasized that such translations enhance literary literacy and require deep reflection to truly comprehend. Describing Crime and Punishment, he noted that “it is not just the text, but an entire era that has been translated.” He also expressed appreciation for the significance of this literary gathering.
Students gained insight into the inspiration and challenges behind translation, explored hidden truths within the novel, and discovered new analytical perspectives.
The event also featured student reflections on Crime and Punishment, as well as a musical interlude by the “Nordic Taronasi” ensemble, performing classical pieces.
To conclude the gathering, the guests were honored for their participation, and the evening ended on a high note.
As part of the event, the “Yangi asr avlodi” Publishing House hosted a special exhibition of Ibrohim G‘afurov’s translations, including Dostoevsky’s works and many other newly published books.

Xalqaro Nordik universiteti rektorining talabalar va ota-onalarga MUROJAATI
Bugungi kunda jamiyatimizni xavf ostiga qo‘yayotgan eng og‘ir muammolardan biri — giyohvandlik va narkotik vositalar tarqalishi yoshlarimizning salomatligi va kelajagi uchun jiddiy tahdid solayotgan jinoyatchilik holatlaridir. Ogohlik har qachongidan ham dolzarb ahamiyat kasb etayotgan davrda barchamizning eng asosiy vazifamiz — talabalarning nafaqat ilmiy, balki ma’naviy, ijtimoiy va jismoniy jihatdan sog‘lom, barkamol shaxs sifatida kamolga yetishishini ta’minlashdir.
Giyohvandlik faqatgina shaxsiy hayotga zarar yetkazmaydi, balki oilani parchalash, do‘stlar va jamiyat bilan aloqalarni buzish, hatto kelajakdagi imkoniyatlarni yo‘qotish bilan ham kelajakka tahdid soladi. Har bir yosh hayotning qadrini anglab, o‘z salomatligi va aqliy rivojlanishi uchun mas’uliyatni his qilishi shart. Narkojinoyatchilik esa nafaqat qonunga zid ish, balki inson qadr-qimmatiga putur yetkazuvchi og‘ir jinoyatdir.
Shu bois, Xalqaro Nordik universiteti rahbariyati va jamoasi barcha talabalarni:
Giyohvandlik va noqonuniy moddalarning barcha xavf-xatarlarini chuqur anglash
Do‘stlar va oila bilan mustahkam ijtimoiy aloqalarni rivojlantirish
Sog‘lom turmush tarziga amal qilib, sport bilan muntazam shug‘ullanish
Muammolarni hal qilishda yordam so‘rashdan tortinmaslikka chaqiradi!
Aziz ota-onalar!
Farzandlaringiz hayotida doimo ustuvor qo‘llab-quvvatlovchi va ogohlantiruvchi bo‘lishingiz maqsadga muvofiqdir. Ularni nafaqat ilmga chorlash, balki hayotiy tajribalarni bo‘lishish va to‘g‘ri yo‘lni ko‘rsatishga ko‘proq vaqt ajratish orqali giyohvandlik va jinoyatchilikning og‘ir oqibatlaridan himoya qilish zarur.
Birgalikda yoshlarimizning kelajagini asrab-avaylab, jamiyatimizda xavfsiz va sog‘lom muhit barqarorligiga hissa qo‘sha olamiz. E’tiborsiz qoldirilgan lahzalarda farzandlarning butun bir hayoti barbod bo‘lishi mumkin...
Shuning uchun ogohlik va mas’uliyatga birinchi qadriyat sifatida qaraylik!
Kelajakka ishongan, hayotini qadrlagan har bir talaba, ota-ona, ustoz, shuningdek barcha kuzatuvchilarimizni Xalqaro Nordik universiteti nomidan ogohlikka chorlaymiz: hayotingizni, sog‘ligingizni va kelajagingizni himoya qiling. Narkotik va giyohvandlik yo‘lidan uzoq turing!
Barchangizga tinchlik, sog‘lik va barkamol hayot tilayman!
Sherzod Mustafakuliv,
Xalqaro Nordik universiteti rektori
