"Parade" is a humorous short story by Ismoil Shomurodov set in the Soviet era, where a festive demonstration takes an unexpected turn. Alongside schoolchildren, tractors, and workers, the organizers decide to march pigs through the central square as a symbol of "progress and culture." What was meant to showcase achievements soon turns into a comical disaster, exposing the absurdity of official pomp and the gap between people's everyday lives and political theater. With irony and wit, the author reminds us that everything has its proper place - even pigs at a parade.
