History
Talabsho Shoikhov, in 1990, saw a 1.5-month-old bear cub in the house of his acquaintances living in a mountain village. As it turned out, the hunters killed his mother, and the bear cub with a broken paw in a mountain gorge among the rocks was picked up by compassionate people. Boboi Talabsho somehow immediately made love to the bear, so he begged him from the owners in return for a goat and a bag of flour [2] .
Sculpture
The Tajik master Alijon Bobosharifov made a sculpture by Talabsho Sheikhov and his brown bear Masha [2] .
