Fountains and Lenins


Just as we were running for the airport in Hojand we came across a palace, apparently modeled after Saint Petersburg's style, and I believe built in the 60s. Please leave a comment if you're acquainted with its history. Lots of Tajiks love to get married here because it's very beautiful with the fountain. There's a huge statue of Lenin right in front though, which I would imagine would partly kill the romantic atmosphere for a wedding. I would post that statue here but perhaps you are already tired of Lenin...
