The present article aims to explain the socio-political view of Mirza Torsonzadeh (1911-1977) - a contemporary Tajik poet - and examines his fictional poem "From Gang to Kremlin "(1966-1970) with a content approach. Also, with a descriptive-analytical method, it analyzes the ultimate goal of the poet and its narrative course for the audience.The result of the research shows that Tursonzadeh, nicknamed "Tajikistan's national hero", whose image can still be seen on the common paper money of this country, created this work, like his other works, based on the school of socialist realism and in praise of the ruling system of the Soviet Union. In this 436-couplet poem, he repeats the name of Lenin (1870-1924) 28 times with fascination, while the name "Pratap", the main hero of the story, intends to travel from the Ganges River to the Kremlin to liberate India, has been used only 17 times. The story seems to be an excuse to praise Lenin, which is published in his centenary celebration, finally. Therefore, although the poet wrote it during the period of Khrushchev's (1894-1971) softness, the title "LENIN NAMEH" (For Lenin) is more worthy of the story than its current title.Regardless of some defects of weight and rhyme, this poem is written with imagery and imagination, and the poet's idealistic goal is "Alliance of the East against the West", which is represented in this poem in the form of the aim of "Pratap's travel".
