In 1929
Tajikistan became a Soviet Socialist Republic separate from Uzbekistan, with
Dushanbe remaining its capital. Since the 1930s the city has acquired an
increasing number of larger public and official buildings (including a sports
stadium, a theater for opera and ballet, government headquarters, and a post
office) in architectural styles typical of the Soviet Union at the time, though
many have decorative details drawn from local traditions. In the 1950s the city
government began to construct increasingly tall residential housing, at first
four-story apartment buildings, and, since the 1970s, an ever-increasing number
of medium- and high-rise apartment buildings, although some neighborhoods of
small mud-brick houses remain.

In the early 8th
century, Khujand was captured by the forces of the Umayyad Caliphate,
under Qutayba ibn Muslim. The city was incorporated into the Umayyad and
subsequent Abbasid Caliphates, and a process of Islamicization began. In the
late 9th century, however, it reverted to local rule and was incorporated into
the Samanid Empire. It came under the rule of the Kara-Khanid
Khanate in 999 and after the division of Kara Khanids in 1042, it was
initially part of Eastern Kara Khanids, and then later passed to the western
one.

Karakhitans
conquered it in 1137, but it passed to Khwarazmshahs in 1211. In 1220, it
strongly resisted the Mongol hordes and was thus laid to waste. In
the 14th century, the city was part of the Chagatai Khanate until it was
incorporated into the Timurid Dynasty' in the late 14th century, under which it
flourished greatly. The Shaybanid dynasty of Bukhara next annexed Khojand,
until it was taken over by the Kokand Khanate in 1802, however, Bukhara
regained it in 1842 until it was lost a few decades later to Russia.

Lake Iskanderkul

Mountains.

The highest peak
in the area, Mount Kyrk Shaytan, rises to almost four kilometres above sea
level. However, the other mountains in the neighbourhood are also higher than
3,000 metres, which means the difference in height between their summits and
the lake’s surface exceeds 1 km. The turquoise of the water spectacularly
contrasts with the red brown of the rock’s faces.

Lake Iskanderkul is wrapped in legends. According to one of them,
Alexander the Great led his troops across the Fann Mountains, and while the
army was camping on Iskanderkul’s shores, Bucephalus, the king’s favourite
horse, sank in the waters. The name of the lake is also directly associated
with the great conqueror, as Iskander was how the people in Central Asia
pronounced the name Alexander.
