Bahrom, Sirus Iranian-born Tajik intellectual Sirus Ismoilovich Bahrom was born into a family of physicians in Lenkoron, Azerbaijan, on January 1, 1885. He received his early education in the new-method Russian schools of Lenkoron before he traveled to Iran in 1908, where he was employed as an instructor in the town of Astara. He joined the CPSU in 1926. In 1925, Bahrom graduated from the Moscow International Institute and moved to Central Asia in search of work. For the next decade, he worked at various positions in the Department of Education and with the media. Bahroms poetic career dates to 1932, but surprisingly enough, his first collection of poetry does not appear until 1975, when Hadiya (Gift), a collection of verses and short stories, was published in Dushanbe. In the same year, he also published a work entitled Yoddoshtho (Reminiscences). His writings are mostly technical; some include literary concepts that appear in Tajikistan for the first time. Bahroms other contributions include Qofiya dar Nazmi Tojik (Rhyme in Tajik Poetry, 1955) and Aruzi Tojiki (Tajik Poetic Meters, 1963) Bahrom joined the Union of Writers of the Soviet Union in 1944. He received the Order of Lenin, two Orders of the Badge of Honor, as well as other medals. Bahrom died in Dushanbe in 1981.
